Coast Guard Closings Cost

"Bidding farewell to a trusty mate; Coast Guard's last 44-foot motor lifeboat is retired" by Martin Finucane, Globe Staff | May 9, 2009

The Coast Guard held a ceremony at the station, attended by Admiral Thad Allen, the Coast Guard commandant, and by US Representative William D. Delahunt, Democrat of Quincy, with a flyover by a jet and helicopter to mark the end of the 44-foot boat era."

So how much did that cost the taxpayers? Where are the enviros griping about the wasted fuel? Couldn't we do without this kind of s***?
