It is a measure of how desperate the oppositions arguments are getting, that they have to sink so low as to blame a freak, tragic accident on the speed limit.
20 senior citizens, mostly in wheel chairs, died. Probably because of overloading and design problems. Now the opposition claims these people died because the marine patrol were to busy enforcing the speed limit. How low can you get? And how absurd the argument?
Does New York have a law requiring people in wheel chairs to wear PFDs? And if there is such a law (which I doubt) its the responsibility of the tour boat captain to see they are on.
These ridiculous, low blow arguments are not helping your cause!
