Roz just doesn't listen
Senator Roz Baker voted against the Superferry after being quoted in the MN as supporting the Superferry. She claimed, in a statement on the Senate floor, that her constituents didn't support the Superferry - therefore she couldn't vote for it. Too bad Roz didn't see things the same way in regards to a new hospital in Kihei. Thousands upon thousands of people, i.e. her "constituents," supported abolishing the CON to allow a new hospital to be built. Roz voted against those people. It will be interesting to see Roz's next spending report perhaps Young Bros. sweetened her campaign pot. In the next election those thousands of constituents to whom she has failed to listen may choose sweeten her opponent's campaign pot. Strike two...Time for a change!

A whale of an ego
Greg Kaufmann, self-proclaimed Whale Expert, testified before the Legislature at length, in what could be described as "All About Everything." Kaufmann really needs the Superferry, because it is the only public boat in the state large enough to haul his ego between islands. Kaufmann hasn't done whale research in the state of Hawaii since he lost his scientific research license in 1990. His Pacific Whale Foundation boats have struck more whales than any others in the state. Take a hike, Greg, and take your whale-chasing boats with you.
