Anglers and swimmers have also been driven off of the Lake or have been forced to change their Lake usage for fear of their personal safety."
It does not seem fair however I am aware and accept that life itself is not fair......again I reference your group:
Winnfabs-"The legislative objectives of HB 847 are safety, simple fairness, and equal access, and it treats all boats the same"
Anyone aware that the "reputation of danger" was indeed unfounded according to statistics should have done the right thing and worked to correct that perception. Instead many like yourself actually fueled it. Some in the name of "safety" as promoted by the bill creators, and you for your proclaimed agenda.
Thank you to all who opposed this law.

Once again what I actually said is twisted into what you want it to say.
The accident statistics are more than enough to justify a speed limit.
I post that the reputation for danger has more effect on the general public than the actual statistic. And you think that means the lake safe.
The statistics are bad, the reputation is worse.
WinnFABS is not "my group". I take no credit or responsibility for their publications. I represent my own opinions, they are not always the same as WinnFABS.
