I understand Broadhoppers concerns about eliminating auxilliary inspections. Anytime money is eliminated from inspections and maintenance programs you are asking for eventual trouble. This is true for municipal budgets, school district budgets, personal household budgets, and I fear it will be true in the case of boating. The statement by brk-Int is so right referring to inpending safety hazards. Many, make that most, casual boaters don't really understand what is going on, mechanically, with their boat. If it starts, it's good. Not always true, and the trained eye of an auxilliary inspector is "cheap" insurance to maybe catch some small problem before it becomes some big disaster.

I have a very basic question: In the face of all the real and potential budget cuts, where, exactly is the State spending its (pronounced OUR) money?
