It was a justify-a-decision-that-has-already-been-made session. And what really ticked me off were members of the public that took 20 minutes to rant their concerns, not caring that there were a lot of other people who had signed up to ask questions. And Rodney has a point...there ARE water issues in Hanalei and there ARE issues regarding how the Feds treat the birds with more respect than the farmers.
