Not so good news to report but it doesn't mean we give up, it only means we appeal and head down the lawsuit road.Per our attorney, "no sugar coating"First, our motion to disqualify. Joe Gimple refused to disqualify himself and the members of the board voted to deny our motion.Next, Pete Hendricks revealed that he is on the board of directors of the Hawai`i Wildlife Center. The Center wrote a letter in support of KPCT because Surety has given the center a license to use some land worth over a million dollars. Our attorney reluctantly asked him to recuse himself given the apparent conflict. He did so.Then we got to KPCT’s motion to dismiss. The board fixated on the fact that they had already voted to automatically approve KPCT’s subdivision and that therefore the November decision was now moot. So they voted unanimously to dismiss Maika`i’s appeal.The next step is to appeal today’s (03/13/09) decision. Cost for this will be met in the filing as discussed in our meeting today 03/15/09Also: it appears that Surey is beating the bushes to get people on their side. they generated about a dozen letters of support, talking about how great Surety is. Of course these are people who have done work or are employed for/by Surety or is leasing space or land or purchased property from Surety for their projects or personal interests.One signed letter claiming to be speaking for the entire entity of an organization is up for question which I am investigating on my own and I await information. Those specifically relating to the organization so far, one key bloodtie to the Founder was not approached and was surprised at the personal putting their signature to the group. I believe they may have been a member but not a titled or leadership role. Of course these letters of support were"in general" and not specific to Mahukona and we are not sure if these people who signed the support of "great works of Surety" realizes it was used on the Mahukona issue.We are putting together a fundraising awareness concert which I have posted as an even for Sat. March 21st
