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....?

IMHO, the real point here is that officials of the the state of Nevada made
a bad decision in the specific case, and now the governor wants to single
out a specific citizen to pay for it. The economic status of anyone
involved can not justify such a thing, it is simply wrong and requires
correction--for which we hold elections from time to time.
