Not everyone has a $1000 kayak, they are available for $250 new, $100 or less used, sometimes a gift. The misconception that everyone on the lake in some form of watercraft is rich with deep pockets is getting tiring. Many people scrimp and scrape to be able to get out on the lake. They don't necessarily have piles of money in reserve to keep funding misguided government programs. Most people today have tightened their belts and expect their elected leaders to at least consider the concept.
