The Draft (FAKE) "EIS" on the "Large Capacity Ferry" was just released and is available at:

Comments are due by February 23, 2009.

Governor Lingle, while cutting funds for schools, paid $1.3 million for this EIS, another half a million dollars to fix the barge, and over $300,000 for a ferry to push the barge against the dock.

$2 million in the last year and $40 million the year before! While cutting programs that really help us. Why did we pay this instead of the business that benefited?
