Illegal Operation Without Environmental Impact Statement Is FocusAn attorney for three Maui groups told the Hawai`i Supreme CourtThursday that a law permitting the Hawai`i Superferryto operate while an environmental impact study is conducted is unconstitutional.Isaac Hall’s arguments came as the high court heard a legal challenge to special legislation passed by the Hawai`i Legislature in October 2007.Hall, representing the Sierra Club, Maui Tomorrow and the Kahului Harbor Coalition, said the legislation, called Act 2, benefited only a single entity.“Act 2 was conceived, cut and tailored for Hawai`i Superferry alone,” he said. “That’s what this [case] is about.”
Based on the State Audit of the Superferry, the Hawaii Supreme Court should declare Act 2 to be Unconstitutional. Act 2 passed the the Legislature and signed into law by Lingle is a Fraudulant Deal for the Surperferry, the military expansion in Hawaii and Lingle's hopes for future political advancements.
