Superferry shut down for good

[Bullwinkle]

"A foundation member on his own boat, drifting right into a pod "on study" was tail slapped by a male whale on one side (gunnle), seriously injuring a guest in a party of 3 with apperntly one WW executive member aboard."

this one was a 65 foot boat and a calf

There are a few more, these easy to find... its tough being a whale

There was a PWWF ncident reported by a witness just a couple weeks ago, which may not have been officially reported ...

btw, thank you Damon for your blogwork on the Superferry. I think you're right on with the agenda behind what was sold to the public.

Yep, lets keep the cost of travel as high as possible so the poor people can get around....

I've said it from the beginning...

Anyone wanna wager how quickly it becomes Military transport?

My guess... under 18 months - 24 months.

It appears that the HDOT and the HSF will have to do the the EIS over :

"Act 2 required the DOT to perform an EIS but allowed short cuts from the kind of review set forth under Chapter 343, the state's environmental review law. Yesterday's court ruling likely means the DOT will have to perform a full-blown EIS."

Agreed. Glad to see the headlines today.

So, if the state or a county was to pass a law that provided one class of business an advantage over another class, would that be unconstitutional? If the crux is that the constitutionality rest with a class advantage over another class, isn’t Hawaii Supreme Court reaffirming the same rulings handed down recently in Ohio and Arizona that anything offered to one, must be offered to all? If you read the specific item of the Hawaii constitution the court referenced, it’s identical in wording to what was in Arizona’s constitution and was the basis of that states Supreme Court to rule if you offer an incentive to one you better make it available to all.
Example, if the state or county passed a law that provided financial relief or incentives to businesses who install solar power generating devices wouldn’t that be a class of one if not offered to business that install petroleum power generating devices?

they had all this extra time to do an EIS, why didn't they do it? are they above the law? it's funny the same people who want laws enforced are the same ones whining when they are

According to today's newspaper...it looks like Superferry has had enough and will be leaving for good. (I don't blame them)

But what about the millions of dollars that the state of Hawaii has already spent on harbor improvements for the superferry?

All wasted money....Who's going to be held accountable for that?
