    It’s time for the Governor to mobilize people from the Guard with Coast Guard qualifications to get the ferry system up and running. We cannot be held hostage by a small minority who refuse to get the vaccine.

      Such fantasies. Do you really think there is an idle cadre of engineers who can operate the specific engines on the ferries, or a pool of unemployed line officers qualified to dock the ferries in all weather who can be dragooned by the governor? Have you ever been in the engine rooms or on the bridges of similar ships? The fact that you have no idea what you are talking about is a tribute to the professionalism of the mariners who staff the ferries and  just “make them run.”

Sorry, comment time is over.
