For me, its about adding law after law, that only impacts the overall rights of the residents and visitors of our state. This law brings nothing to the table in the way of boating safety, this years record proves that. If no tickets have been issued, then we are looking in the wrong corner for a winner.
BI, if you want to push for a 1/4 mile or larger NWZ around the camps that you speak of, I would stand behind that, that would be about creating a safety zone around our children and would be enforcable, it would not matter the type of boat being used either. But to say that the speed limit has created a safer lake is creating a false sense of security that still puts these camps and children at risk.
Your points and concerns on the subject are valid, you do not seem bent on eliminating one type of boat on the lake, because that was the style of boat that killed a friend. It seems to me that you stand behind this law because this is the best that has been presented to help you with your concerns. I may be wrong, but that is what I have gathered.
