Haverhill is seeking seasonal boat operators who will be paid with federal stimulus dollars for providing Merrimack River tours. The only riverboat operator who has stepped up publicly, however, says the city plan amounts to retaliation.
The city is accepting proposals by the end of the month from charter operators who promise to provide a riverboat with at least 10 seats from May to October. Tim Slavit, who recently demonstrated his 400-passenger “Capt. Red” ship, said his family has been unfairly treated. He vowed Monday to bring his ship to downtown Haverhill and oppose Mayor James J. Fiorentini’s re-election.
