Ferry Fares Okayed

In what should be the last we talk about ferry fares – for a little while at least – City Council just okayed the proposed fares to crossing the river. Those who've enjoyed their free ferry rides can keep on doing so until October 1. "This is not a choice of fares or no fares," Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer said. "This is a choice of ferries or no ferries. It's as simple as that." [nola.com; previously]
