ICW may be shut down.
 
unbelivably, there is now NO funding for the Atlantic ICW. If this continures
there will soon be no ICW, it shall be impassable.

If you care act now. go to http://www.atlintracoastal.org/index.htm, read the
article, write you congressmen, fight for one of our few remaining freedoms.

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!!!

Oh, I dunno, it will be there for a long time to come, it just will be
"impassable" to boats over 3' draft.

But the issue is a fairly serious one. The economic impact of the ICW
includes a few billion doallars for commercial traffic, probably ten
times that for recreational boaters. Think of all the marinas and gas
docks and visitors centers along the ICW.

Also, if there is little or no money for maintenance along the ICW,
think what would be allocated for rescue of boaters trying to go outside
around Cape Hattaras.

Maybe we should have tolls or permits or licences to use ICW? Collect
from every boat. $50 for less than 20 feet, $250 for less than 28 feet,
$1000 for 36 feet. Some appropriate price for commercial vessels. Add
daily and weekly options and away you go. Why should the poor folks
money be spent on recreation for the rich? Folks should pay their own
way.

Major budgetary cutbacks are planned for all infrastructure, and I would
include the ICW, along with bridges, roads, airports, subways, et
cetera. This is all so we can "better sustain" more funds going to the
Department of Defense for Bush's endless, mindless war, a war that will
result in a more dangerous world than we live in now.

Reuters had an interesting article on the problem recently:

Bush Reaches Out to Conservatives to Quell Revolt

Fri Feb 20, 3:45 PM ET

By Adam Entous

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has been reaching out to
conservative groups to quell a rebellion over government spending and
budget deficits, hoping to shore up President Bush's political base in
an election year.

Conservative leaders who have taken part in *private* White House
meetings in recent weeks said on Friday officials have *promised to all
but freeze non-defense spending,* and assured them Bush will follow
through on his threat to veto major highway legislation if Congress
refuses to scale it back.

The price tag on a six-year highway and transportation bill stalled in
the House of Representatives is $375 billion while a Senate highway bill
calls for spending $318 billion. The White House has proposed a $256
billion measure.

"Bush has been very attentive to the critique from the right," said
Stephen Moore, president of the Club for Growth, a politically powerful
conservative group -- offering tentative praise where once he talked
openly of a brewing rebellion.

But if the White House does not follow through, said Heritage Foundation
vice president for government relations, Michael Franc, "all bets are off."

Well, we already do. If the fiscal burden of paying for the ICW is
levied specifically on users, all other taxes should go down, right?

The problem is that the gov't is already collecting the money and
spending it on something else... now they have to go and collect more money.

Check on the Wallop-Breaux fund, it's sources and disposition.

Personally, I wouldn't mind paying a user fee for the ICW if that meant
1- it would actually be maintained to a consistent and reliable standard
and 2- my fee also entailed a license to plunder anybody using the ICW
who had dodged paying it.

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.

Absolutely. Are you suggesting that we should pay for things twice?

FWIW I agree with your other posts stating that the ICW benefits all and
thus a wide based tax support is fair. My post quoted above was a
specific reply and may not have been worded very clearly.

It doesn't change the issue as I see it: the gov't has already levied &
is already collecting tax money intended to support the ICW (and other
infrastructure); the problem is reallocation of these resources.

Maybe if Halliburton picked up the dredging contract, Bush & Cheney
would the ICW a much higher priority ;)

You could make the same argument for hard surfaced roads. Would you?


I can't believe I'm going to jump in here, but I'm bored.

Actually, no - that dog won't hunt so to speak.

Take the Mass Pike for instance. When first envisioned, the Pike was
designated as a toll road only for the time needed to pay for the road
itself. What eventually happened was that the Pike started to eat
it's own money with patronage, incredible amounts of pilferage,
unnecessary road "repairs/improvements" so that essentially, the Pike
became a breakeven operation - it cost as much as it made. With the
advent of the "Big Dig", it became a monster cash cow contributing to
the money pit for the 30 second improvement in traffic flow through
Boston. Add to that the concept of "General Funding" in which all
fees, taxes, fines and other revenue are not designated but allocated
by a budgetary process from a "general revenue pool", obfuscating
fiscal accountability for individual departments and state
organizations and presto - the toll just becomes, in essence, another
tax disguised as a "user fee". To put it another way, because the
revenue is placed into a general budgetary process it's not a
pay-to-pay system at all - the person paying income taxes in Revere is
contributing to the health of the Pike as I do when I drive up to the
Northshore for a weekend of striper fishing.

And it's pretty much the same in other states that have tolls on
interstates

In Connecticut, tolls were actually removed from our three interstate
routes (395/95 and older portions of 84) and have never been replaced.
It was the result of a very bad accident involving a runaway cement
truck and 10/12 cars stopped at a toll booth. The reasoning is that
we can maintain the roads with Federal matching funds, so why add
another tax/user fee which in this state, is an amazing concept. ;)

So essentially, "user fees" will not allow for other "taxes" to go
down because it's all one general revenue pool - the "General Fund"
revenue stream/budgetary process does not allow for reduction of one
source of as a result of increasing another one.

I hope I explained that properly - I'm not an accountant.

Yeah, and how about user fees for everything else, so Bush can continue
to siphon off the taxpayers' money for his insane war?

Want to get on an interstate? $5 each way.
Want your beef inspected? $2 a pound.
Want to watch TV? An additional $1.00 a day tax to access the public
airwaves.



Folks should be willing to pay their own way for everything.


Well, here in the Democratic Republic of the SF Bay area. They do this.
Costs $2 for a 2 axle vehicle to cross any bridge except the Golden Gate. 4
axles gets you $6.25. So car towing tandem trailer boat trailer. $6.25!
There is a measure on the Ballot to raise tolls on the Bridges (except GG,
is not run by the state, is run by local Democrats and they charge more!) an
extra buck to fund mass transit not on the bridge. Seems as if the
Democrats in Control (DOC) have no problem socking the public with more fees
for their pet projects. Same DOC's who ran up a deficit in the last 4 years
of $39 billion in this state. And Speaker Mr. Burton can only come up with
raising taxes to cover the overspending! Raise spending 39% in 4 years when
inflation and population growth accounts for a 9% requirement to stay even.

Sterling,

ICW in my area is alive and well due to the constant and plentiful COMMERCIAL
traffic. Advising folks to join a group and send e-mails may be personally
satisfying to you but it won't help much.

As I said earlier COMMERCIAL interests are the ones that will or won't keep
your portion of the ICW on the dredging schedule.

When I retired from the Army I worked in the branch that dealt with any and all
dredging issues in our area. Recreational interests did not enter into the
argument then and surely don't now.

The closest thing I know of that could be construed as a recreational boating
lobby is BOAT/US. See if you can sign them up.

Good luck.
