The article is not accurate, he apparently used the word "speed" instead of "excessive speed", which are effectively the same thing anyway, but exactly what she said. I wonder if the hearing is recorded and if we can get copies of it, I know what she said because it annoyed me. I'll say it again and ask you to address this comment, a simple agree or disagree is all that is required: "10 MPH is excessive speed when within 150' of pretty much anything else out there"

There is no way you can disgree with that statement and IMHO is really what her problem was at whatever incidents happened. Had those incidents she cited happened with boats going over 45 MPH she would have said speeding, or traveling over 45 MPH, or something to that affect, but she didn't and I suggest that is because it was really 150' violations and she was spinning them into the speed limit arguement. I hardly think a speed limit would have affected those situations.
