I would imagine because he's laughed at some of their boating behavior and it provides entertainment (and $$$) for him. This is the same business that wanted to calm the lake down because it was hurting his rental business?

Personally, I think that the advent of available rentals the last several years is a great thing. However, in the interest of safety for the entire lake, it might be time to think about banning the rentals of boats on the lake.

That may sound harsh, but many people live in fear of the renters, and for good reason. I think it's time to shut down the business for the good of the entire lake.
