Modest, my eye
"a modest, flat fee for all small boats powered by muscle and wind"
What are the Vegas odds on this remaining a modest, flat fee anywhere in our near future? This is simply a poor excuse for money-grabbing. If Representative John Byrnes feels so guilty (as he says he does), then let him write a personal check and mail it in. And to make the recovery of his body easier, Rep Byrnes can wear a PFD at all times.
We don't need to soothe Byrnes' guilt by having him impose a fee on every aspect of our life.
