Questions:
Why would you put all your eggs in one plan and say…..my way only or the highway? Wouldn’t it be better to have a lot of little rather than one big?
Maybe there is no aloha for Molokai from MPL; but in the meantime, how about a little aloha for the business that you do have? My suggestion is to lease the golf course to Sonny Boy, the lodge to….?, Wallace theaters to,,,?, the campgrounds and give opportunity for your Kalua Koi Hotel to be refurbished and restored for time share including the dinning room to Molokai people first, etc. and then off-island people with the stipulation that whoever buys your company renegotiate with the lessees. Hope MPL doesn’t let the property sit for the termites and the rats to kau kau (eat) as did the previous owner.
Maybe the word can be put out to World investors that the red dirt on the West End with a little bit of squeeze, lomi lomi (massage) and manipulation can produce oil and gasoline. Oops, maybe that’s going too far J

Concerned Citizen
Not “Activist” but “Advocates”
The "lengthy consultation with the community" concluded Moloka'i community was against the development of La'au Pt. because it would kill our lifestyle, deplete our natural resources, and would not protect our endangered species. Were we expected to close our eyes to these important issues and allow developers destroy the "last Hawaiian island" for their financial gain? MPL threatened their employees if they didn't push the plan they would lose their jobs. Many employees left beforehand because of these threats.
MPL's game plan was to divide and conquer and this is the grand finale. Hard working community members compiled alternatives that would provide revenues to MPL but the compilation was not even reviewed. MPL executive director stated the Molokai community would have the final say in regards to the La'au Pt development and he closed his ears to valuable information from Molokai experts and Kupuna. "Opponents" are not just fighting for the pleasure of it. We are advocating our rights as a people and protecting our limited resources. Moloka'i advocates are scapegoats for MPL's failures and the "loyal employees" are MPL's pawn. Place the credit where it's due, and don't promise what won't be done.
