I'm sure there was debate about the 150 rule when it was established, then rafting restrictions, then the boater certificate requirements, now a speed limit. So what is enough for the Depends wearing crowd?

I think a good battle to restrict any development on the lake shore on environmental grounds would go a long way to curbing the "legislative feature creeping"........ I think a lot of this stuff comes from retired nannies who sit around the lake and do nothing but belly ache that they don't have exclusivity with the view from their little shanty.
