As of now if you have an opinion one way or the other it behooves you to contact State Reps as they will be hearing this issue at some point in time.
If you are so inclined I am sure their will be a public hearing portion of the transportation committee as well.
I can not bring myself to a solid opinion on the matter as of yet. Although this directly affects me I have yet to decide the best result. Understand that I witness my boats being absolutely trashed during busy weekends. Selfishly I'd like to see it pass. However ideologically I do not like the idea of a law that targets such a tiny fraction of the overall boating season. Literally we are talking about a 24 hour period on summer weekends. All other times there is absolutely NO NEED for a NWZ in this area. I may recuse myself from further discussion due to conflict of interest with myself.

Hazelnut;
I appreciate your honest comments from someone who lives there.
I am curious however there are many places on the lake that get brutalized by waves and wakes such as the broads side of Rattlesnake and even my camp on the Southwest side of Welch. Obviously we can't request a no wake zone (and wouldn't want to) and many have put in boat lifts to cure the problem. While I realize a boat lift is not cheap would it not solve your problem??
Thanks!
Dan
