Nevada governor to bill Fossett widow for search expenses

Didn't say those were options.
They search for missing people whether the spouse approves it or not.
Why should she be responsible for the bill?
Not her, exactly, but the missing person's estate, but usually money from the
estate is money the widow will not receive.
The reason is that the state spends more or less on a search depending on how
important someone is. The average person is unimportant and the search is
short. But celebrities, politicians, millionaires, children, and cute women
(to cite a few groups) routinely receive far more attention than others, and
this costs the state a lot more. I think the inequality should be reimbursed
by the estate, in a country that likes to think of itself as providing
equality for all.
