And why do you believe that he has had "disastrous losses over the years?" How will the "...island prosper with additional revenues?" Has Mr. Murdock assured this community that any of the enormous revenue he (remember that Castle and Cooke is privately owned) accrues will benefit Lanai? For sure we need to get off our dependence on foreign oil, but should one quarter of this rural island be turned into an industrial park for Oahu, with 200 turbines, each 410 feet tall (as tall as the tallest building in Hawaii, the First Hawaiian Bank building in Honolulu). And jobs -- the construction jobs will call for high-tech, project-specific highly skilled employees, and the long term jobs will total 10-15 at most.
