TMT construction begins Monday 15 July

I've dropped you a line.

For those that haven't seen it, Councilman Tim Richards made a very powerful statement to the County Council a couple of days ago:

The written statement is here:

For those that think things go slowly here, it's not always the case. I'm already trying to set up a meeting with Rob and interested parties. As long as it doesn't involve government, it's surprising how quickly things can happen.

Thank you, Rob, for getting involved, it is very much appreciated.

So, Tom......Is work beginning as stated on the 15th? Or has ALL progress again been stopped by the protesters?

We're all here, because we're not all there!

"So, Tom......Is work beginning as stated on the 15th?"

15th July? Obviously not.

[AKpilot]

I meat to say "had" ........so wait? NO construction has occurred since the 15th (I've been in Germany dealing with a family emergency). How soon until they get started do you think?

We're all here, because we're not all there!

Don't these trucks pump all that stuff out into an overwhelmed and outdated treatment plant that pollutes the ocean ??

You're thinking about Vacationland; without the treatment plant....

Maybe while they are all up there, we could stop by their properties and have wreckers haul all of their junk cars up the mauna and block the saddle road so they are trapped up there.

Unbelievable...wondering why Hawaiians are pissed, while you spew racist BS....

I think it's easy to get worked up, when people are throwing accusations around like oppression, desecration, and genocide. Surely, we can all do better.

Obie, have you seen some of the Facebook threads at a couple of Facebook pages? First, they have been just about totally taken over by anti TMT people. Second, the spirit of Aloha is very weak. As in, if you don't agree with me then go back to where you came from. I left one of the groups because it got so trump like that one could no longer have a discussion with facts. Facts no longer matter there.
