Hundreds of Maui Residents created the Maui Island Plan through years of testimony and work. Then the County Planning Department reviewed it. The Council was supposed to adopt it by October of 2010.
Instead, they have been over-riding the citizens’ plan and delaying adoption. The additional 8 months the Council has given itself will allow special interests more time to undo what the citizens came up with through discussion and compromise between all the various stakeholders in the County.

This is very disheartening to those who gave up hundreds of hours of their time and who worked hard to reach consensus and compromise to create a really good Maui Island Plan.
Seems like little by little Ms Baisa’s committee is chipping away at our hard work.
