Re: Manatee, Worth Saving?
Snapperbait, they are proposing closures and slowdowns throughout the state, and even in the ICW Channel. Our city has just aquired a new service that was 5 years and 3 million dollars of taxpayer's money in preparation, not to mention the vender's cost, to provide a "fast-cat" service from Ft Myers, to Key West. The cat is moored and leaves from downtown Ft Myers, which is 10 miles from the Gulf, up the Callosahatchee River.<br />They have been in operation for only two months.<br />Last week, the owner/operatopr of this ferry service told the local media, that if idle zones are imposed in the River to it's mouth, he will move out, and sue the state.<br />It never ends. There no real winners, regardless of who you ask .<br />I just hope common sense prevails...But unlike the owner of the good ship "Purrseaverance", I'll not make book on it.
