MauiTime 2016 Year In Review

December 28, 2016 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

Even without the election of Republican Donald Trump to be President of the United States, this was a monstrous year. We’ve had to deal with job losses, outrageous giveaways to big business and just a general slide away from democratic protections and open government assurances. We like to think of Hawaii (and Maui especially) as […]

‘Hawaii’s Wounded Knee’ – Remembering the Olowalu Massacre

January 20, 2016 by Anthony Pignataro 2 Comments

Kalolopahu. It’s a Hawaiian word meaning “the spilled brains.” Until I began researching the history of Olowalu, I had never heard the word. Olowalu, a tiny coastal town just a few miles south of Lahaina (pop. 80), has been in the news a lot lately because of the grand development plans from Olowalu Town LLC […]

By a vote of six to one, the Hawaii Land Use Commission (LUC) voted late yesterday to reject the Olowalu Town project’s Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).

Save Olowalu! 25 reasons why the proposed Olowalu Town is a bad idea

December 2, 2015 by Anthony Pignataro 23 Comments

A few weeks ago the state Land Use Commission LUC met at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center to discuss the final environmental impact statement (EIS) for Olowalu Town, a massive development project pushed by Bill Frampton and Dave Ward.

Letters: Readers Respond On Olowalu Development, Ed Case

August 9, 2012 by Anthony Pignataro 1 Comment

HATES BIG PROJECTS THAT COULD KILL REEFS Maui has the best politicians money can buy and most were bought long ago. Graft is, after all, a sacred Maui county government tradition. I watched the reefs at Kaanapali finish dying off after six hotels were built in 1980. I am still seeing development rotting the reefs […]
