SUPERFERRY SERVICE TO END SOON?



Hawai`i Supreme Court To Decide New Case


The Hawai`i Supreme Court, whose ruling last year led to a three-month shutdown of the Superferry, will decide whether the interisland service can continue in a new case to be heard next week.


The court will decide whether Gov. Linda Lingle and the Legislature violated the state Constitution last year with a new law that allowed Superferry to resume operation while an environmental review of the project is completed.


A ruling could have an immediate impact on whether Superferry can operate between O`ahu and Maui.
