Having voted against Ballot Measure 2, does not mean that I don't support some more taxes against the "Cruise Ship Industry". Particularly Gambling, much more than anything else needs taxed to the full extent of a retroactive law taxing gambling on Cruise Ships while still in State of Alaska Waters out to 12 Mi.. I have personally seen these
well-lit ships in slow motion, behind Gravina Island. Do we know
for certain that no gambling (slot machines and other games of
chance) other than that done for the enumeration of I say "No!!!" We have had no S.O. AK representative on board any ship in State waters: where gambling operations allowed while the Ships in Question were in State Waters? I call for an inspection of Ship's records (the books) to discover any unlawful activity, gambling, prostitution, etc. We do need to determine the level of activity on these Ships and TAX accordingly.
