We are getting closer to a meeting.

I don't own a GFBL boat. My cousin who owns a boat that can go faster than 25 at night and 45 during the day supports some sort of a speed limit. I respect his opinion because he is on the lake more than I am, but in the end it is his opinion.

I don't like to see erosion of shore front properties. I haven't planted any grass on my shore, and underpowing boats create bigger waves that erode the natural shoreline.

I don't like the erosion of our Rights. The nanny state is way to evident and growing today.

I enjoy the peace and quiet of my lake front cottage, but I also enjoy seeing a really fast boat go from Centre Harbor to One Mile in like 10.5 seconds.

I would like to be part of a January 2nd meeting of everyone to modify the speed limit.

I can't welcome Elchase; he has said he sees no reason for compromise, "he has already won, he'll meet us in the halls of the Capital". I don't see any reason to extend an invitation to him, unless he modifies his position on negotiation.

If there are folks from the SL Supporters, then I would very much like to hear their point of view and would very much like to discuss a compromise.
