Lingle has warned protesters on Kaua'i not to interfere with the ferry when it is scheduled to resume service to Nawiliwili Harbor on Sept. 26.
Lingle also met privately yesterday afternoon with state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa, D-21st (Nanakuli, Ma'kaha), and state House Speaker Calvin Say, D-20th (St. Louis Heights, Palolo Valley, Wilhelmina Rise), about the possibility of a special session on Superferry. Hanabusa and Say also had met Sunday afternoon with state Attorney General Mark Bennett.
Among the questions, according to people familiar with the talks, is whether a special session of the Legislature should be held before or after courts on Maui and Kaua'i rule whether Superferry can resume service while the state conducts an environmental assessment.
