There is also a push to get a few bucks added to the milfoil fee for in-state boat registration. Over a million per year is spent on milfoil control throughout the state, yet the effort is often funded by local cove residents and is inefficient. The state does a pretty good job in coordinating efforts and helping with the permitting process. Giving DES more money to expand its program seems like the right thing to do, even though every rise in boating fees faces a lot of resistance. We all want clear water, but those putting in the efforts to keep it that way need funding.
