January 6, 2008 From hamptonroads.com:
Year after year, the Bodie Island Lighthouse has been in line to get funding for a complete restoration. Each time, it has been shoved aside.
Shut out once again in the federal budget that was signed by President Bush on Dec. 26, the 136-year-old tower is showing its age, with corroding metalwork, broken windows and inadequate electrical wiring.
"I don’t know what’s going to happen," said Bett Padgett, president of the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society, a nonprofit group that supports preservation of lighthouses. "Since it keeps continuously getting yanked out of the budget, I’m afraid that the National Park Service is going to have less and less money."
