Superferry -- proof of a "They Say"

In this letter, Nancy Miller, the author, is arguing a ruling that a judge set in place that puts a restraining order on the Superferry in Hawaii. She shows her opposition to the "they say" in her initial sentence: "Firstly I do not agree with the judge..." Miller believes the ruling was put in place for unfair reasons. The judge feels the Superferry is a "burden of environmental assessment", while Miller argues that jets that leak fuel and large barges carrying a load of cars have the same effect on the environment. Miller ends her argument with a great point saying, "Please don't stop your neighbor's cousin from coming to visit. Why do you welcome thousands of cruise ship passengers with hula dancing and flower lei and marketing ploys encouraging exploration of the Islands, but not welcome your neighbor?"
