It's time for government to take notice and to work with the marine industry. For far too long, the industry has been taken for granted.

He's the man of the hour when it comes to marine development.

The ability to expand and put money into our facilities and develop new markets is a luxury that in many cases is not available. We have record sales, yet one can only wonder what it would be without the water-access constraint.

There are a lot of toxic work environments in local government, and it's because of inequity issues that sprout up. I believe that just as performance teams and empowerment energize an organization, equity issues sap energy, and you have to deal with those.

Obviously I'd like the man released. I think they [the government] probably concluded some time ago they don't have to keep this man in custody.

It's about time government got back to work.
