Guest Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 This from Lat 38 The City of San Francisco has agreed to spend $150,000 to study whether the America's Cup boats will scare birds on San Francisco Bay. Honest to god, we're not making this up. And no, it's not April 1. The money will be thrown away on a study to be conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey. The study will be conducted using time-lapse cameras mounted on boats set up along the race route and in spectator boat areas. The City agreed to spend the money in order to settle a lawsuit filed by a group that included Aaron Peskin, a former President of the Board of Supervisors. The City will also be paying $75,000 to the lawyers who filed the suit. http://www.latitude38.com/lectronic/lec ... -Dcs5GDMSY Link to post Share on other sites
