Superferry Pros and Cons...

[Rob Tucker]

I don't think the Super Ferry is about tourists or locals. It is about spending money. Hawaii has, for years, paid federal taxes on gasoline to support the Interstate Highway System....without any real way to attach to the Interstate Highway System. It was decided they could burn up part of Hawaii's share by building a Ferry or two. That is why, when they show it off, it has an Interstate HIghway symbol on it.

I actually think they could care less whether anyone uses it. They have, at this point, successfully burned up a pile of money and I am confident that various amounts cannot now be accounted for. Go Super Ferry!

I am also guessing that they are now desparate to launch and effectively "complete" the project. The courts are making them sweat right now. I would not apply any of this thinking toward the employees who hope for success with their jobs.
