The idea is about allowing more access to the lake.
The proponents are framing it as evil government trying to restrict.
My concern is it would lower lakefront property values and shift taxes.
Something like the property on Meredith Neck would probably sell for considerably less than the asking price... and that one property has the ability should it sell at the top - or even higher - to double lake front property values moving more taxation away from the everyday inhabitants of Meredith and more toward the lakefront.
Obviously sleeping people are not going to make more noise, and more vessels with heads on board would help protect the lake from the current direct disposal that we know is happening, and more money from the permits for enforcement would help MP; but all that can be achieved without this bill.
