Or, you could go outside?? That's REAL freedom.

IMO, only the commercial interests have any chance of convincing congress to
continue to spend tax dollars on the ICW. Spending a huge amount of money for
recreational use by a very small(relatively) number of perceived fat cat yacht
owners is a very hard sell.

I kinda sorta agree with the congress on this one. CUT SPENDING!!!

Why should the poor folks
money be spent on recreation for the rich? Folks should pay their own
way.

You two really should get get a clue.

The the so called "rich" folks who travel the ICW spend a LOT of money with the
"poor" folks as they move up and down the ICW.

In fact a lot of the "poor" folks have become "rich" over the years because of
the ICW.

If either of you had spent any time traveling on the ICW you would see just how
much business is generated and has been created due to the ICW.

My guess is that not funding the ICW would cost more in the taxes lost due to
loss of business and employment then the money "saved" by cutting the money
spent on ICW funding.

Much like what happened with the luxury tax.
