Starting at 9:00 AM this morning (11/27/12) over fifty guys exercised  their last opportunity to testify to two thirds of the Council on the Maui Island Plan (MIP). One creative talented wahine , Veronica Silva, IMG_3372.JPG sang her testimony to preserve our natural environment. (See some of her lyrics in Maui News article, link below.) As of 1:00 PM the Council recessed as they would be losing quorum, to continue at 5:00 PM this evening.  Your Association once again testified to exclude the 390 acres in Makena from the urban growth boundaries. Presently there are almost 10,000 housing units proposed in South Maui.  See Maui News report at  http://mauinews.com/page/content.detail/id/567440/With-reef-in-mind–testifiers-oppose-project.html?nav=10 .
