I just finished reading the article B次元官网网址淔eds to pay for 80 abandoned boat assessments and removals in B.C.B次元官网网址� by Greg Sakaki, and I am wondering if there were any questions put to the ministry on why the owners of those abandoned vessels are not paying for the cleanup. It seems that the taxpayers are always cleaning up after big business (i.e., oil well clean up).
If someone can afford to buy those vessels, then they can afford to maintain them and to dispose of them. It should not be up to the taxpayer to subsidize them.
