Hawaii Superferry - Chapter 7

Re: Hawaii Superferry - Chapter 7

Well as if things weren't strange enough: YB gets a new barge.

As they say in the commercials... "But wait. There's more!"
There was this story in the Advertiser last Thursday (scroll down to the fourth item), and here's an excerpt:

Alaska Airlines celebrates its new service to Hawai'i tomorrow at Honolulu International Airport with performances by Alaska native dancers and Hawaiian dancers.
The airline will operate daily flights between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Honolulu. The airline also will offer nonstop service between Seattle and Lihu'e beginning Oct. 28. Service between Anchorage and Honolulu is scheduled to start Dec. 9.

And no mention of an EIS, or of any plans to halt invasive species, or...

Well as if things weren't strange enough:
"The Ho'omaka Hou, scheduled to begin service this month, is the largest that Young Brothers owns, at 340 feet in length, 90 feet in width and 20 feet in depth."(oh, the HSF? 349' long, 78' beam)

Here's a question. Does the fact that HSF is a non-union operation have something to do with the challenges they are facing? Discuss.

Re: Hawaii Superferry - Chapter 7

I just received an email from a coworker with this link:
http://starbulletin.com/poll/
to unofficially vote for or against the HSF. Sorry if it's a repeat. I partially checked this thread and didn't find it.

A Breaking News item at this link says this:

State Sen. President Colleen Hanabusa today said that a majority in the Senate is willing to come back into special session to help save the Hawaii Superferry.
The Senate will confer with House leaders, who have already said there is consensus for a special session in their chamber. House Democrats are meeting in caucus tomorrow to consider the latest draft legislation.
Gov. Linda Lingle could call legislators back into session to allow the Superferry to resume service while the state conducts an environmental assessment on the project's impact on state harbors.

I just received an email from a coworker with this link: http://starbulletin.com/poll/ to unofficially vote for or against the HSF.

Thanks for that, Tutu. I don't know when they started the poll, but I see that 14,028 people have voted already and it's running 80% FOR the SuperFerry and only 20% against.

Lika you are slipping

fyi - The HSF solicited all members that signed up for email announcements from them to participate in this poll put out by SB today with a direct link to the poll.

P.S. I support the HSF

What's the % on Oahu? What's the % on outer islands? An Enviromental Assessment process is a learning process and HSF Superferry was against it!
State of Hawaii citizens, especially Hawaii Island and Oahu are near as ignorant of HSF Superferry now as they were when they were first exposed to the US East Coast investment idea's plan for further Americanization of Hawaii.

A Breaking News item at this link says this:

Obviously the Hawaii Superferry scheme has played out essentially as planned: HSF Superferry will get what It wants! The bottom line is the same and, as usual for US corporations in Hawaii, Hawaii's indigenous culture, Hawaii and US taxpayers will essentially pay for all the costs of "the inconvenience" to the imposition of US HSF Superferry plans.

Here's a question. Does the fact that HSF is a non-union operation have something to do with the challenges they are facing? Discuss.

It would be far more worrisome for Hawaii outer islands were Superferry union-backed. The fact that it is not should be a union issue but it is not a union issue because "the union" no doubt sees the whole thing a future evangelical victim of its crappola capitalist addiction.

I feel it's corrupting to be in the gov't and having another job on the side.

So who is paying for the time that one of "our" 'elected representatives' spend at 'information sessions' with corporatist lobbyist? The lobbyist pays or the taxpayer pays for "the representative's" time ?

"Best example would be to serve in the Senate and to be in the real estate business. That would be outright conflict of interest on any land development issues."

Seriously? Let's contact the official state and/or IRS/licensing/permitting agency to tap their computers to tell us just who federal/state approved/tolerated (private -controlled) licensing-agency resides in the Hawaii State 'elected'-legislature.Or to bring the topic back on track, what if someone worked on the board for HSF and is serving in the Senate?

It's well known "now" that Speaker Calvin Say's Son is/was working for the HSF as an accountant and just got set aside *layed off* like other workers.

Thus, Say will have to admit to the conflict of interest due to his sons employment with HSF.

Had a wonderful weekend with my family from Maui, and they report that majority of their friends, associates, the communities are disappointed in the current situation with the Superferry.

They mentioned that the Farmer's were disappointed because the Superferry would have provided transportation of their refrigerated trucks, something that YB does not offer, and when they did it wasn't economical for the small farming businesses.

I also had the opportunity to talk with friends from Kauai whom were also disappointed as they had wanted to bring their personal vehicles to Oahu on shopping vacations, etc. They are in support of an EIS, but felt that the Superferry should operate while the EIS is being conducted.

Those that they've encountered on both islands that oppose the Superferry altogether are not indigenous to the island or State of Hawaii.

The poll that Tutusue listed above, as well as the one posted earlier from the SB shows an overwhelming support of the Superferry.

In the meantime, increased direct flights are scheduled without opposition?

It's well known "now" that Speaker Calvin Say's Son is/was working for the HSF as an accountant and just got set aside like other workers.

Exactly what conflict does he have to admit? Did I miss that he stated that in lieu of his support for the Superferry his son would get an entry level job? I read that he has asked the decision of the House to determine his conflict of interest prior to any decisions being made.

Craig, serious question here, do you think socialism or communism would be any better ?

uninterrupted profit, Re: Hawaii Superferry - Chapter 7

" ... had the opportunity to talk with friends from Kauai whom were also disappointed as they had wanted to bring their personal vehicles to Oahu on shopping vacations, etc."

So all of this crap has to do with Kauai 'residents' addiction to shopping vacations of Kauai elitedom's Lexuses, Mercedeses, Lincolneses, and Such and their Kauai-tax license plate registration compensating for Oahu-tax licenses?

"They are in support of an EIS, but felt that the Superferry should operate while the EIS is being conducted."

An EA or an EIS? I cannot imagine any truly knowledgable HSF Special-session-ferry Supporter=HSF Superferries Supporter being welcomingly receptive to an EIS process. It'll take at least a generation or two to complete it, and by then there'll be even less monk seals being alive to come to Waikiki, so why not just continue the genocide of non-human mammals and call it "progress" or somehow twist it to mean "progressive", but anyhow call it "uninterrupted profit"?

Craig,

Please LEARN HOW TO QUOTE it's part of the FAQ.

I knew you'd be the first to skew my innocent conversation shared in this forum in opposition of your views. There are residents of Hawaii, living on Kauai in support of the Superferry for their own reasons whether you like it or not.

Acceptance allows for a free soul.
