CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Gov. Jim Gibbons intends to bill the widow of
missing multimillionaire adventurer Steve Fossett for $687,000 the state
spent in searching for the famed aviator last fall, a spokesman said.


Jeez. Ain't it enough she lost her husband?
Worse than that, she'll probably never know how,when or why without closure.
In my experience that sets folks up for some special kinda suffering.


Sure Fossett was wealthy but is my wife gonna get a bill for SAR if I bail in
the hills?


Joe Bob don't like it...nope not one little bit.

I"m a CAP member, and I look forward to volunteering for the searches,
although I lament the need.
If I thought the state was going to bill someone, I'd rethink my
volunteer status.

I wonder if the feds billed the Kennedy family for the use of a
destroyer for a funeral....?- Hide quoted text -

We all wonder if the Kennedy family was billed for the satellite time
they used to look for traces, the submarines, the dozens of ships and
aircraft in the search mission, and god only knows what other taxpayer
funded assistance services they used. In a country where : "All men
are created equal", clearly all men are not. If I go missing I want
1/10 of what the did to look for Young Kennedy. .. Fat chance if
they do it though... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
