Yea, that's him. The paper spun the article like he's some sort of
hero collecting taxes from nee'r do wells.


The facts as outlined in the article don't justify any sort of outrage
at all.

The guy wrote a walloping total of 255 tickets last year, less than
one per day.


Better hit the math books again Chuck. The *average* work year is some 240
days.

Slacker. :-)

You're giving this guy 30 days per year paid leave and every weekend
off?
Maybe so, public employee and all....

Using your numbers, he's all the way up to 1.06 tickets per day
instead of "less than one". The material fact is that he's not some
sort of out-of-control ticket writing robot slapping a citation on
everything in sight.

He's enforcing the Florida law that says your boat must be registered
in some state, and that state can be somewhere other than Florida if
that is where you live. He's handing out warning tickets to out-of-
state boaters who come from states that don't require boat
registration, when if he wanted to be a real stickler he would be
entirely justified in writing them an actual citation. The folks who
receive a warning ticket have two weeks to either finish their
vacation in Florida and go back home -or figure out how to get a state
registration, (presumably from Florida), for their boat.

The guy sounds like a bit of a jerk, with the lawbooks and all, but I
suspect he carries those as a result of confrontations with folks who
don't know the law or who feel that the laws of the State of Alabama
(or wherever) just ought to apply in Florida.

Why would we not want to obey the laws of states and countries where
we are visitors? Makes no sense to me to do otherwise.

====================

Umm........no, I am giving him 20 days per year paid leave.

5 days/week (heck, that can even include weekends for those of us with an
open mind) x 52 weeks less 20 days vacation, paid holidays and sick leave =
240 work days.

Try the math again Chuck.....you can use your fingers and toes if that helps
you. ;-)
