The Hawaii Tourism Authority has run the HCC since shortly after its inception.  It has been contracted out and managed by private corporations all along and has consistently lost money.  The "profit" it supposedly made last year did not take into consideration the expenditure for the payment of the general obligation bonds used to build the facility.  It has been a major league looser from the beginning.  

Creating another "Authority" will undoubtedly have the same effect as that of the HTA, Stadium Authority, and Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transit (HART).   It will be just another depository for political hacks and out of work politicians to earn more credits toward their taxpayer funded retirement and post employment health benefits, both of which I might add, have driven both the state and city into insolvency.
