Judge clears Hawaii Superferry to sail
The Hawaii Superferry has been cleared to sail.
Maui Circuit Judge Joseph Cardoza today lifted a court injunction that has kept the high-speed ferry from operating to Maui since Aug. 27.
The judge ruled this afternoon, after hearing arguments from state Attorney General Mark Bennett and Wailuku attorney Isaac Hall, who is representing three groups pushing for an environmental review before the ferry can resume service.
Hawaii Superferry President and CEO John Garibaldi, who is attending the hearing, told The Advertiser today that if the injunction is lifted, the company would announce a startup date by week's end.
He said it would take about two weeks to rehire furloughed workers and gear back up to provide service to between Honolulu, Maui and Kauai.
Cardoza's lifting of the injunction was the ferry's last legal hurdle to resume operations, wrapping up a two and half year legal challenge that nearly scuttled the $250 million enterprise.

Judge lifts injunction on Superferry
A Maui judge lifted an injunction against the Hawaii Superferry today, helping to clear the way for the ship to resume sailing to Kahului Harbor.
Maui Circuit Judge Joseph Cardoza made the ruling this afternoon after hearing oral arguments this morning on a motion to lift the order.
The motion was filed after Gov. Linda Lingle signed into law a bill authorizing large vessels like the Superferry to operate while an environmental study was being done. The law was passed by the Legislature in special session last month.
Superferry chief executive officer John Garibaldi has said his interisland carrier could resume operations in a couple of weeks once it receives government approvals, including the lifting of the injunction.
(...)
Attorney Isaac Hall, representing some citizen groups including Maui Tomorrow, has argued that the new law passed in special session is unconstitutional.
(...)
After Cardoza issued his ruling to lift the injunction, Hall requested a stay of the decision while the plaintiffs appeal it to a higher court. Cardoza denied Hall's request.

GO SUPERFERRY!!!
hi this is sansei and in reading miulang's post, it make's some sense only i would've agreed with the person who wanted to file a petition to sue linda lingle and that would've made the best sense and i hope in the next election,she's defeated so we wont have to hear of linda lingle again and she wont ever be governor again. i think they the enviormentalist will try to overturn and have the judge put the injunction in again and i'll be smiling.
