Temporary Black Topped Buoy, Eagle Island

The state finances and performs many functions that are for "the public good".

You could take the "people ought to look at the conditions and be responsible for themselves" phrase to an extreme. Should the state stop plowing and sanding? Should the state stop regulating the lake level? Should the state stop citing people for traffic violations? The problem is finding the level of acceptable personal responsibility that is found by the majority to be acceptable. That is a difficult balance.

Having said that, it would be helpful if several of the rocks on the right as you exit the Weirs Channel heading back into the main lake were removed. I have seen them hit several times and I am sure others have too.

And, what about eyesores? The property adjacent to the Weirs bridge including the dock that is falling into the lake, the wall that is ready to collapse, and the buildings that have seen better days, should be torn down. It is too bad that the property owner does not have more pride in his property.
