“Hawaii has just received a $300 million black eye to go along with its already battered reputation as a place to do business.
Venture capitalists here and on the mainland say the abrupt shutdown of the Hawaii Superferry by the courts and protesters will likely scare away potential investors.
Local government officials share the concerns.
“I can’t imagine anyone who wants to invest hundreds of millions of dollars into Hawaii ‘s economy and to create new jobs and not look at this, shake their head and take their money somewhere else,” says City Councilman Charles Djou.”
So true, so true. Hawaii is the worst place in the U.S. to do business. High costs, high taxes, over-regulation and now this… shutdown of a $300 million business by the high court and environmental wacko extremists.
