Hawaiians are in need of an excellent attorney.

Along with the State of Hawaii, DHHL and (not mentioned in the link above) the Research Corporation of the University of Hawaii(RCUH) found @https://ag.hawaii.gov/about-us/divisions/ under Education Division, are state agencies which rely on Hawaii’s Office of the Attorney General for legal counsel.
The mission of RCUH is to support the research and training programs of the University of Hawaii and to enhance research, development, and training generally in Hawaii.

Think of $600 million + land swaps Not given to the Hawaiians (DHHL) coupled with $430 million in research moneys taken in from telescopes alone for the University of Hawaii last year.
All 3 state entities are being represented and counseled by the AG??
Is this relationship within the AGs office an obscene Conflict of Interest??

Research money is earmarked for specific research studies or projects. Observatories cannot take funding, which for example states it will be used to attempt a photo of a black hole, and give part of it to DHHL. There are guidelines and regulations they must follow, although, admittedly, an argument might be made that DHHL can accurately be described as a type of black hole.

The $600 million was already given to DHHL. In addition to $26 million a year operating costs from the state, and revenue from commercially leased lands. Still no homelands available for Hawaiians... In fact, if you count the shacks protesters built and DHHL ordered removed, there may have been more buildings lost than gained this year!

I didn't suggest giving research money to DHHL...
The line is...

I am referencing 2 instances were the AG's office provides Legal council to 2 different agencies ruling against DHHL/Hawaiians. who they also provide legal counsel to.
The AG gives legal counsel to the RCUH re: research money may be lost...
Vassilis Syrmos, UH vice president for research and innovation, said the loss of the TMT, should it come to that, could mean the loss of billions of dollars in research funding for the university
We gotta have that research money
The AG gives legal counsel to the State re: the ins and outs of timely land swaps and repayment of moneys owed...
The AG and the DOT say the Mauna kea access rd belongs to the State. Are these 2 agencies unbiased?
I pose the question again...Is this a display of ignored Conflict of Interest on the part of the AG?... given DHHL, the agency being impacted by these edicts is also getting ALL of their legal counsel from the same AG?

DHHL has some money makers....
Honolulul airport, Hawaiian land
Honolulu harbor, Hawaiian land
Little stuff like that.
Assume the best and ask questions.

Where on earth does this number come from? That's roughly eight times the annual operating cost for the Mauna Kea observatories.

Overall, the university brought in $430 million in research money this year, a 10% increase over the previous year. Syrmos said he's working to move that number closer to a half-billion in the next three to four years.

You do realize the university does research other than astronomy?
