As an American citizen and lifelong resident of Hawaii for more than 75 years, I am in favor of the Thirty Meter Telescope telescope on Mauna Kea. The issue appears not to be about the TMT telescope at all, but grievances by a small group of Hawaiians, part-Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians advocating Hawaiian sovereignty.
The TMT issue is a vehicle for airing their grievances, which otherwise would be ignored and disregarded.
Let the TMT construction begin.
