How about "Impact Fees"?

400 horsepower in a bigger boat produced this magazine report:

You may recall Sunsation's factory representative and his comment about Sunsations on a Maine lake as being "too much boat for that lake"?

Here's a comment at a Sunsation forum:
Quote:
This ban keeps all Sunsation's from boating on [Lake Martin, in Alabama]. If you have any "pull" or wish to help out, let me know. This law includes me, three 32's, two 28's and the 43 with 600's. That 43 is going to this lake...and may affect another five lakes...]"
"Pull"?

Alabama has boating elitists?

Alabama's Lake Martin is 40,000 acres.

Lake Martin is 40,000 acres—Winnipesaukee-sized.

YES IT DOES! How it has achieved "urban-myth" status here is beyond me.

Some days, it passes me twice—most often when the wind dies!
