Who is representing the state on TMT. Sam Wilder King II comes back to update us on the TMT protest controversy. Is there movement? Is there possibility of movement? Is the state taking any action to reolve the matter. Can anyone resolve the matter, and will the anti-TMT protesters break the bank and the back of the TMT consortium. Can the state of Hawaii afford to lose TMT and the future of astronomy, and STEM, in our state? How do people in Hawaii feel about this, and how are those feelings changing? The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Samuel Wilder King II.
