Nice post John. Fewer and fewer people are taking the boat. Not sure if the airlines sees an increase by picking up the loss each year of the boat passengers. The State has contributed a great deal of money over the past 20 years and the only result seen is a dividend for stock holders.

Tracey's statement:

"While I agree public officials do work for all if us, but disrespecting offices, in this way, is not the way to bring change. Just my opinion."

Jeff. Your last paragraph is really on target.
