No mention of why someone would go to such lengths.
To me and many whom I've talked with it is just another selfish gesture by those who own property on the lake and believe they also own the lake.
It really is sad to see the amount of arrogance that some people with money have brought to the lake. This isn’t always true but I tend to see it more and more as the years go buy.
The truth is that our state is getting more and more populated, so is the lake.
We can never go back to that peaceful lake of yesteryear. These same people who complain are the worst offenders. They build these huge houses in place of the peaceful camps that used to be along the lake then they want their piece and quiet.
Almost as bad as Mr. Fay backing a bill limiting speeds, all the while selling boats capable of easily exceeding that same speed limit.
