Alexander & Baldwin. Those are two of the original “Big Five” missionary families, from centuries ago. Today it’s the largest corporation, landowner, and political donor, or among the top donors, on Maui. So it persists: they get vast profits off the diverting of our resources and the control of our politicians.
