On the recordSeptember 4, 1996
I am very sympathetic to the Senator's desire to implement the report of the IG. I have another flashing light about the marina issue. Let me ask a few questions because the Senator knows from his time on the bay that we have 2,300 miles of shoreline with many marinas, and they are the small businesses, kind of general stores along the water. Some are higher income persons, as the Senator said. But a lot of them are owned by people named Buck, and this is what keeps them going. My question is about the consequences of the Senator's amendment. Is the prohibition limited only to publicly owned marinas, or does it include private sector marinas as well? Marinas in our inspection sample incurred over $22.3 million in disaster damage, not including debris removal costs. Most of these marinas are for recreational boaters and serve a small segment of the public.
