Flavor Flav is appaled at the lack of timepieces at the Colman Dock.Washington State Ferries recently snagged a piece of the Recovery Act to the tune of $3.2 million, thanks to Sen. Patty Murray, who’s been known to go to the mat for the rudderless ferry service. These funds are earmarked for vessel preservation and renovation, and to–according to a press release from Murray’s office–“provide reliable and responsible ferry service to customers.”The money cannot, however, go to paying for a working timepiece in the Colman Dock. As we reported over the weekend, WSF recently responded to customer complaints that they were missing ferries by removing all clocks from the Colman Dock, WSF’s busiest terminal. But according to a Murray spokesperson, these Recovery Act funds won’t help riders know when their boat’s leaving. “These funds need to go toward the specified purpose, in this case vessel preservation activities,” the spokesperson says.So, what time has the reliable skipper got on his Casio? Your guess is as good as mine.
