     This article goes over the compromises that Governor David Ige presents to the TMT team. He tries to settle an agreement of removing a quarter of the present telescopes in order to build the thirty meter telescope. However, protesters still seem to be angered. Many are still their postponing the construction. This compromise is only 1 of 10 conditions the Governor has put on the sacred grounds of Mauna Kea. He admits to the fact that they have not preserved the sacred land well enough. Looking forward the article looks at economical issues if destroying the existing telescopes. It will cause debt and a lose of data that the telescopes bring in. This articles is useful towards my paper because it shows an attempt to settle the controversy. It also shows the advantages and disadvantages of what each side of the debate will gain and lose.
