Also on Wednesday two Senate committees will take up a resolution asking the state to study a potential ferry between Aloha Tower and Sand Island on Oahu.

I thought April Fools' Day was next week?

Don't knock our study-based economy!

I can save them the money. Putting in a ferry dock out at sand island will cost way more than it's worth. If they want the ferry to dock at the park, they'll need to expand the road going the other direction because it's a small two lane through the park. If they put the dock elsewhere they will have to do some serious dredging.

There's not a lot of businesses on Sand Island to start with. I've never seen big traffic jams there that would even remotely be relieved by a ferry (it's already a 4 lane road).
