Swim Raft Permits

It's so tempting to have a little schadenfreude with some of the people who pushed that other law, but it's a bad idea. This law is stupid for the same reason the other one is, trying to use arbitrary numbers. We have a law that covers obstructions to navigation. Anyone who puts a swim raft where it obstructs naviagation, in the opinion of the Marine Patrol (or pick another arbiter) gets a warning and then a fine. No new law needed.

Couldn't agree more! The rule also states that swim rafts be no more than 150' from shore. The ONLY reason this law is even coming about is because the State smells blood... The blood of money!!
