NO RESPECT FOR SUPERFERRY SPECIAL TREATMENT
Dear Senators and State Representatives,
As a citizen of this great state of Hawai`i I am deeply disturbed by the events that are unfolding.
It is hard to imagine how the average citizen will have any respect for the law and our legal system if a special session is convened to overturn the courts ruling regarding the Superferry....
What is more important, the survival of a mismanaged business or the preservation of our unique environment?
I will submit that we cannot afford to jeopardize our environment at any cost....
It seems that a special session should only be available in times of crisis, national security, or in the case of a public works project.
To suggest that our legislature convene a special session to retrofit the law to accommodate a private company is irresponsible and bad public policy.
Doing so opens a door that all corporations will demand access to. What will keep other businesses from wanting the same treatment? ...
Please demonstrate to your constituency and the rest of this great state that you have the moral courage to place our environment, our communities, and the rule of law ahead of the need of a mismanaged business.
Vote against a special session for the Superferry and demand that the Superferry comply with the laws that have served this great state of Hawai`i for over 30 years.
Mahalo in advance for your support.
Yours truly,
Scott Mijares
Kilauea, Hawai`i
