Did you all know that back in March, 2010, the Mount got two new Caterpillar marine engines, a $750,000 value, through the federal government's "cash for clunkers" program which replaced its' two older diesel engines from the 1940's. The new Cat's use much less fuel, run much cleaner, and include a transmission that has reverse gear while the old set-up did not have a transmission.

So, the Mount basically got the two clean running Caterpillar engines for almost free through the Obama administration's cash for clunkers program that exchanged the old clunker engines for the money needed to re-power with new engines.

It is very likely the Republicans on board last Friday night, May 29, for their annual Belknap County Republican Lincoln Day Dinner, 3-hour Cruise/$75-plus, per person, stuffed chicken breast or roasted sirloin, dinner-cruise, would all be voting NO to the cash for clunkers program, because these Republicans are the party of NO!
