I don't think the city has many transient moorings(a few?) or overnight dockage.

This is about raising the fees for local boaters, fishermen, schooner operators, etc. Dockland collects fees for a few hundred moorings that range in price from probably 100 bucks to 1000 for large boats, per season.

- I have a berth with a locked-in rate. I hope.
  - I'm doubling the rate, Dave.
  - Still do. With no harbor master there will be no speed limits. Bring Rocker-Stoppers, Dave.
- I don't know much about this, Doug.
  - The legitimacy of the issue notwithstanding
    - Taxes are a lightening rod in Maine right now(as elsewhere). Consider this:
      - Milliage rates are somewhat deceptive
        
        We're in fact a bit high for the coast. Rockland is the exception.
        
        Yup mil rates are quite low on MDI...
- The harbormaster is back at work in Rockland.
