Why can't the state require effective public notice, just to give these restrictions a fair hearing?

Actually, SBONH have been publicizing this action since September. You will see a number of bills pertaining to boating coming up on the website. Take a look, it is open to the public.
If there is enough objections to a particular bill or hearing, SBONH will actively look into it. Until now, SBONH notice the 'chatter' on this thread.
I agree that we should let DOS know that basing NRZ on environmental issues and throw in 'big rafting parties exists' when there is no proof. We all can prove that the area is not good for rafting because of topography and we need DOS to hear this. I have sent my letter and I am sure the other members of SBONH did the same. If we give the property owners an inch they will go the mile.
Please visit SBONH.org and please feel free to leave comments so that SBONH will know how you feel.
We may be quiet, but we are still engaged, ready to embraced our rights, and drive it home.
