After not only breaking the law for several weeks, and then even drawing more support statewide for this trashing of our laws, the kia‘i still remain amazingly and illegally entrenched on the critical access road, blocking the coming construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope.

They even had stopped employees of existing telescopes from accessing their place of work.

Our elected leaders, from the governor, attorney general and on down, have sadly allowed this situation to fester to the total dismay of the majority of us law-abiding citizens statewide, including Native Hawaiians.

We certainly must be the laughingstock of our great nation and the scientific world also. Auwe!
