Howdy, y'all, as I was watching the national news two days ago, lo' and behold House rep. James Oberstar was blazing on the television of NBC news about cracking down on Southwest Airlines. He's the one who evidently has led the looking into how Southwest Airlines was cutting costs in areas all thought the airlines was 'different' than their competitors. When I saw him on TV, it just made my blood boil why he didn't want to get the vote for the Delta Queen going. The news reporter's name was a Tony Costello. I wouldn't know how one gets ahold of those reporters either. If someone knows, it may help to contact them.
I did email Paul Harvey as someone on the message board suggested. I hope they got a lot of emails about the "Save the Delta Queen" campaign.
It sure has been quiet about the 13 House Rules Committee and hope that 'quiet' is good news. I know that our local media has been patient and would love to cover this story...the exemption vote....and, or what the House Rules Committee will allow. Hope this silent period is folks working behind the scenes to make this US Coast Guard Reauthorization bill amendment work.
Well, Oberstar is pouncing on a company that is higer profile, I'm sure in his eyes. So, finding the US Coast Guard Reauthorization bill probably is the best thing for sure coming down the pike. Hope it works, folks. Mary
