I think it's a fairly inconsistent business, for one. I wonder also if state protectionism is at pay. Washington State for example until recently was only considering in state ship builders to replace the ferry fleet
- pfdietz 2y agoIs that constitutional?
- foota 2y agoI was asking myself this as I was writing it as well. I would assume that the State Government can choose to do what they will with regards to their own ferries, but that it would not be legal (interstate commerce) for them to require other companies in state to get their ships build in state.
- pfdietz 2y agoThis appears to be how it works. The state has freedom if they are acting as just another market participant, but not if acting as a regulator.
