Thank God for the men and women of the Marine Patrol and praise them for how well they operate with such a limited budget and let's hope the Coast Guard never gets jurisdiction of this lake.

Isn't a personal opinion and being able to voice it the basis of our democracy? I've been on Town Meeting and a steering committee. Why should my opinion be worth any more or less than my neighbor's?
