RE: Use for Taku

By Kay Taylor

The idea of the Ferry Taku being used for lodging for our representatives to save money is great. We need to stop frittering away dollars. If the Ferry system is good enough for us then it is good enough for our representatives. Moving it to Juneau for housing would solve two problems. We need to cut down on per diem for our traveling representatives.

Since we need a crew to be on the Taku while being at moorage then at least they would be doing something rather than just watching a vessel going up and down with the tides. Besides we know what happens to a vessel that sits too long unused.
