This is a great example of how tough it is for normal people to compete against business interests in politics. On our Forum, there is wide belief that wake boats cause real problems--just look back over numerous threads. As a group we are more united on this than just about any other political issue. I might guess 3/4's or more see more cons than pros to wake boarding. Further, these boats make up only a small sliver of the population on the lake.
Does anybody really believe that "the people" object to some sort of regulation on this by a margin of 10 to 1?
