What an embarrassment the whole ferry saga is. It started with the guys delivering it hitting a dock in NYC and delaying delivery for a month. Clearly, this was a ready-fire-aim approach as Toronto didn't agree to participate with money until after the ferry showed up, their facility wasn't ready (still isn't), there was a Custom's snafu that precluded the ability of the ferry hauling trucks (planned majoe revenue source) and then they ran out of money and the whole operation went bankrupt. We're talking a 5 month span here. Upon bankruptcy, a cadre of U.S. Marshalls lived on the boat 24/7 "guarding" it. In the last couple of weeks, a panic bailout proposed by the Mayor (dipstick that he is) for $40 Million in taxpayer money fell through. Too bad - I REALLY wanted to pour my cash into this money pit. The ferry is now in foreclosure and will be auctioned off. Our government at work.
