Re: Hawai'i Superferry - Chapter 5
Below is a letter to the Editor I sent statewide, Governor Lingle and the legislature.
The Hawaii legislature needs to step in and resolve the Hawaii Superferry debacle.Especially if the courts permanently bar HSF from operating until a environmental assessment is done.
Hawaii Superferry relied on HDOT assurances that a EA was not needed to initiate service. Then at the last minute the judiciary pulls the rug out . Yes, missteps were done by all parties in initiation of service process. But to me it is not fair to all taxpayers and HSF investors that this service cannot proceed unless a EA is done. Especially after the multi millions that have been spent thus far.
The most logical and fair thing that the legislature can do is pass legislation allowing HSF to operate while a EA is being done.As far as I understand, Hawaii Superferry only has a finite amount time before they'll have to pull the plug. Which will be a real shame. Once again the fringe element has forcibly decided what is supposedly best for Hawaii.
