What I don’t get is where you got this quote from???
“The boat was designed by and purchased from a company in Rhode Island, and it’s based in Newport at the Newport Shipyard for long-term maintenance, upkeep and charter purposes, not tax reasons,”
And a link to the “JONES ACT” would have been usefull also... The link I posted has the quote from Kerry's "Chief of Staff", David Wade in paragraph 7 on THIS PAGE.
Was linked.
The Jones Act
Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (A.K.A. "The Jones Act")
OK, I didn’t find the Quote the first time I looked...
And thanks for the link for the lones act...
