Hey, ferryboat captain! Wanna go double or nothing that you get to keep your
job?A Bolivar Ferry captain is on a year's probation for allegedly leaving ferry controls unattended while she gambled at cards with crew members, state officials said.
Ferry Capt. Becky Johnson denies the allegation and says she's the victim of lies by a disgruntled fellow worker on the ferry system, which runs between Galveston and the Bolivar Peninsula and is operated by the Texas Department of Transportation.
I gamble every time I get on a Texas free-way, so the thought of the operators of a ferry gambling on the side is particularly disturbing.
