State of Hawaii DLNR 7-10-15… “DLNR News Alert-BLNR Decision on Emergency Rule Regarding Mauna Kea”

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

(Before It's News)

mauna_kea_herb_kane_poliahu_16This is the first of three posts I am making about today’s DLNR decision to make “new emergency rules” about Mauna Kea, before I hit the bed realm. This is their decision, even though perhaps over 90-95% of testifiers opposed this. The vote was 5-2.

After this will come another article about emails that were obtained showing that the process for making these “new rules” were essentially a cover for finding an easier way to kick The Protectors off the Mauna (and then, of course, TMT could more easily get its construction equipment up there).

Each posting in this trio of posts carries an image of Poli’ahu, by Herb Kane.
