The speed limit is actually just a symptom to a much bigger problem. Our legislators are not listening to their constituents. Law makers hardly ever do the right thing unless it coincides with them remaining in power. If you are looking to Concord or Washington for moral and ethical guidance, you are looking in the last place you will ever find it.
I don’t believe current members of the House and Senate will be replaced during the next election cycle due to their support of a speed limit. They will be voted out because they have lost touch with the people they are supposed to be representing.
I can’t speak for all the so called “cowboys” here but some do see the speed limit as just another example of what is going wrong. If you don’t think the sky is falling, look around.
It is doubtful we will see certain types of boats banned, that would be to obvious. The more likely scenario would be boating getting “nudged” slowly out of existence, by taxes, registrations and other fees. You don’t believe so? Wait until you open your 2010 boat registration and that is just the start.
If you think you are safe because you don’t own a GFB…think again.
