This morning KGMB Hawaii News Now is reporting that big development interests, fueled by millions of dollars of outside money are literally trying to take out and take over the Maui County Council.
The breaking news story is here on Hawaii News Now – Union PAC focuses on Maui races that could flip council to more pro-growth posture
Fortunately, the community is fighting back. Watch this excellent 2-minute video that describes “the competing visions of Maui’s future” and what is really going on.
File this under “can’t make this stuff up”.
Outside big development money is literally attempting a coup in an attempt to take over the Maui County Council.
The audacity of the pro-development forces knows no bounds. It’s disgusting really.
Good luck to the residents of Maui. I don’t live there, but if I did I would be angry, disappointed, and determined not to let this happen – and I would be voting for the Maui ‘Onipa’a 2022 slate!
