Funding a Private Ferry
August 08, 2005
I found an article today that angered me. When is the federal government going to stop wasting taxpayer money on subsidies for private projects, especially ones that are environmentally unsound and un-called-for? The project I’m refering to is a $20 million subsidy to a private marina to start a ferry on San Fransisco Bay. The Bay’s Water Authority has shelved its own plans to create a ferry on this route b/c of environmental impacts (and fiscal appropriateness), but it didn’t stop the private company from lobbying and winning the money.
This is just one reason why the highway bill is so large. It makes me mad.
