OHA Trustee Apo to Address the Sacred as well Scientific Side of the TMT Controversy

Representative Ward (R-Hawaii Kai – Kalama Valley) hosts Monthly Beer Summits on the first Thursday of every month at Kona Brewing Company in the Koko Marina Shopping Center in Hawaii Kai.

This month’s subject is the TMT controversy and the guest speaker is OHA Trustee Peter Apo who wrote a recent article bemoaning both sides of the TMT controversy. Though he has not taken the controversy out of the issue, he has tried to make each side understand the other.

This informal monthly gathering is open to the public, and no food or drink purchases required. This summit promises to be the latest on the TMT controversy by a noted Hawaiian lawmaker who earlier served with Rep. Ward in the State House.
