only to me. It is an insult to others who are sacrificing and who <br /> have selflessly served to protect this free land and to protect the <br /> right to protest. Blocking the Mauna Kea Public Access Road to <br /> prevent construction of a project deemed lawful is illegal. I pay <br /> taxes and if a judge rules it legal for the TMT, then I demand that <br /> my taxpayer dollars be spent, not on blocking the public road for a <br /> stalemate. At the least, it is absurd, wasteful, and abusive. Tax <br /> season is upon us. One has to question if our elected <br /> representatives have the voters and tax payers in mind. That our <br /> taxpayer dollars are being spent fairly, equally, and without <br /> discrimination. To our elected representatives, you also took an <br /> oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. <br /> Demonstrate the initiative, moral, will and courage to do what we <br /> elected you to do. Your job. We as a free people pay your salary. <br /> Earn your pay. Enforce the rule of law. I believe in my heart, that <br /> if King Kamehameha the Great was alive today, he would enforce <br /> the rule of law without question because he would want this <br /> amazing instrument to be built on Mauna Kea. He would want us <br /> to move forward and not backward. So gather your thoughts and <br /> emotions. Take inventory because this is not okay. This is out of <br /> control. And if not, we will find ourselves in a society that is not <br /> free but defeated. <br /> Mr. Robinson: Time please. <br /> Mr. Nathaniel: Please don't be so narrow minded and so tunnel vision that you <br /> forget that there is a whole world out there. I stand with the <br /> famous, Kalepa Babayan, whose vision is to share the Mauna. In <br /> conclusion with prospects and expectations that we can live with <br /> aloha and live with peace. Let us continue to be blessed that we <br /> live on this amazing island. Continue to be very fortunate that we <br /> live in a free society and thankful that we live in the United States. <br /> To Governor Ige and Mayor Harry Kim, shame on you for <br /> allowing your oath to expire. My oath does not expire and neither <br /> should yours. Thank you. <br /> Mr. Robinson: Thank you. <br /> Mr. Wiseman: Mr. Chairman, one comment. I believe the speaker was referring <br /> to government employees with respect to "earn their pay". <br /> Mr. Robinson: Correct. <br /> Mr. Wiseman: And for clarification, the Board Members here are all pro bono. <br /> Who are volunteers. We don't get paid. Just the attorneys. Thank <br /> you. <br /> 5 <br />
