Passenger Vessel Services Act of 1886 - why?

[Capt_BJ]

June 11 .....

"U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) from the landlocked state of Utah has introduced legislation to permanently repeal the Passenger Vessel Services Act, calling it an outdated and protectionist law that benefits Canada and Mexico more than American workers.

.....

For what its worth, last month Senator Lee and Congressman Tom McClintock (R-CA) also introduced legislation to repeal the Jones Act and allow all qualified vessels to engage in domestic trade between U.S. ports."

see how far it gets this time around . . .
