HAWAI`I LAWMAKERS TO BREAK RULES FOR SUPERFERRY ONCE AGAIN

Lawmakers may give the Hawai`i Superferry more time to operate without an environmental impact statement.

Two measures moving through the Hawai`i Legislature would amend special legislation approved in 2007 that has allowed the Superferry to continue interisland operations.

The Hawai`i Department of Transportation was ordered by the Hawai`i Supreme Court to conduct an EIS on the ferry’s impact on state harbors.

Yet Governor Linda Lingle is calling for an extension until June 2010.
