New documents indicate a luxury undercover boat purchased with fines collected from fishermen was used by federal fishery police to visit restaurants and for high-speed “pleasure cruising.”…The documents the Massachusetts Republican requested focus on how the $300,000 boat was used.
The investigation showed one agent took his wife and friends on boat trips to visit dockside restaurants near Washington’s Puget Sound, and used the boat for whale watching and pleasure cruising.
Back when I was working for the .gov in Fisheries research I got to sleep in the shitty bunk that nobody else was using. A few times I had to sleep on the floor, or on or under the galley table!
I’m sure the fishermen who have lost their family business thanks to the onerous and unethical management of the Federal fisheries is being spent so the very revenuers who made them go bust could cruise the harbor in style.
I’m so glad I don’t work for those goons anymore.
The documents were released Friday after a Freedom of Information Act request by U.S. Sen. Scott Brown’s office.
Wow, Scott Brown did something good! Too little too late! You’re fired asshole!
It’s hard to think of a politician that has been more of a disappointment than Scott Brown.
Remember how happy we were when he was first elected? He learned the game quickly, didn’t he? Just more hope and change promises that turned into despair for the taxpayers.
Kristen Gillibrand, but she was an apointee, so when she turned coat, we all figured out why she was apointed to begin with.
Brown just lied and it worked.
