GL: ICW conditions in Georgia

[Bob DeGroot, DCH]

Does it occur to the people in charge that the lost revenue from cruisers in
effect punishes those communities along the waterway? 

The cost-benefit analyses that have been done overwhelmingly point to
economic advantages of having the private yachting community spend their
money in the coastal communities.

What's the old saying? Penny smart, but pound foolish. That's politics!

True.
Most ICW dredging is done through the Army Corps of Engineering contracting 
process, using a majority of federal funding and a smaller percentage of 
state funding.
