Nothing like rubbing salt in a widow's wounds ... and I think that "coupled with the state's current budget difficulties" should actually read "coupled with the multi-millionaire status of the missing man".
Quoted: CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Gov. Jim Gibbons plans to bill the widow of adventurer Steve Fossett for the unsuccessful recovery search.
Last year, the state spent $687,000 over a month looking for the multimillionaire adventurer after his plane disappeared in northern Nevada. During a month-long search, ground crews, the Nevada National Guard and the Civil Air Patrol scoured a 20,000 square-mile area, but turned up no sign of Fossett or his plane.
"We believe that while this is not a common practice, the extraordinary costs of the search, coupled with the state’s current budget difficulties, warrant the request. The exact process the state will go through to make this request is still to be determined," said Gibbon's press secretary, Ben Kieckhefer.
