The proposed CMP is just the last ridiculous "plan" of a series of plans that u.h. has proposed. Three of those plans surfaced in the contested case of a few years ago that resulted in a Judge Hara order for BLNR approval of a comprehensive - comprehensive plan .
This "imperfect" plan will not pass muster either as it DOES NOT meet the requirements of a "comprehensive" management plan. Actually, it is a "development" plan in disguise.
While the text of the plan says that it is different from and not incorporating the u.h. 2000 (development) Plan by reference - the 2000 Plan (unapproved by BLNR) is mentioned 62 times. (Talk about a backdoor sneaking in of the 2000 Plan.)
No matter how many "supporters" of this inadequate and near-sighted plan "they" can put on the streets - or the number of positive reactors tooting their horns - I'm totally confident that a subsequent contested case and a fair Circuit Court appeal - will be the decision maker of last (and fair) resort.

A plan in disguise...hmmm.....does is sound familiar to federalize the ahupua'a. Many bills and resolutions are introduced disguising intent. It was revealed that six years in the making without any public input from kanaka maoli was deliberate. Perhaps as a note to share their mana'o after the bill passed. As for Mauna Kea, there is no doubt that deliberate negotiations are the forefront of monies involved and exploiting our heritage to benefit their management plan.
Fair Circuit Court is where this case may be the "focal point." Don't be surprised a "wrench" is in the works!
