Oppose Reductions in Ferry Service
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, residents of Washington adamantly oppose the reductions in ferry service in response to the Governor's demand to cut the budget. Service reduction will severely impact ferry-dependant riders, businesses and communities as well as adversely affect our state economy.
It is time for the Executive and the Legislative Branches to face this issue head-on and develop an effective, reliable ferry system to continue to meet the needs of its customers and Washington State. To this end, we the undersigned petition the Governor and the Legislature to act during the 2011 Legislative Session to:
- Dispense with further cuts in service and take action to refurbish the system so it can efficiently meet the needs of its customers;
- Provide a permanent source of equitable statewide funding for building vessels;
- Start building the 144 as soon as possible in 2012 to provide a replacement or backup boat of adequate power and capacity to our aging fleet;
- Develop a sustainable, long term budget for WSF that caps fares at reasonable rates for ferry customers and which considers the economic and social impacts.

I voted against cutting the taxes already in place, against ANYTHING Eyman is for, and against changing the liquor laws the ways they were written.
