Indeed the information that the evictions were initiated 29 days after the last plantation worker died is arguably the most important fact reported in this story. <br /><br />It's hard to believe GF apparently didn't want this to be public information. Even though there's no real excuse for the evictions in general and it shows a distinct lack of compassion and concern for the community, in some ways it symbolizes how PR tone-deaf they have been in all this. <br /><br />For argument sake, if GF had stated this "last plantation worker" rationale- or even said something as a warning years ago- there might have been a perception, at least from the "property rights" crowd, that the evictions had some kind of rhyme or reason behind them. GF's PR wing is apparently run by dunderheads nowadays... I smell M.T. all over this fiasco.Andy Parxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398587036690312685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-55662065243926903632012-04-17T11:35:02.103-10:002012-04-17T11:35:02.103-10:00To the last post, it could've been a win-win b...To the last post, it could've been a win-win but for Grove Farm's'instance that there is no other alternative. There is something to be said about honoring history and not just bs tourist driven activities that the hotels support for their bottom line. That is what Plantation Days is. With the removal of the monkey pod trees by Knudsen Trust Koloa is becoming inevitably a tourist town and piece by piece the little bits of history are being wiped away.
