I was in favor of Shoreland Protection in the beginning. However I don't think it's working.

All we have is more bureaucracy, more fees, more baloney. You fill out a bunch of forms and do what you would have done anyway. All the builders know how to work the system. Some just do whatever they want and mostly get away with it. And the rich ignore it and pay the fines.

What is wrong with allowing the local building inspector to enforce things. He is better positioned to know the situation and keeps things in line.

Is the Shoreland being better protected by all this red tape? I don't think so.
