Obviously our elected officers are not boater friendly.

BroadHopper you obviously do not see the big picture as the legislators do.
The lawmakers have been brainwashed, no make that convinced, that the lakes are so much safer now that we have certain limits (I won't mention the dreaded topic but
thanks WinnFABS -
not). Really now, who needs more Marine Patrol?
The Marine Patrol Aux includes Mighty Moe. Other than being assigned an MP radio what does it cost MP to have him as an Auxiliary MP? Nothing. Concord obviously sees no benefit. I think he is an amazing asset.
It appears that Concord wants to do away with Director Barrett or his position to save $$. And they believe they can, now that
the big lake is perceived as so much safer than it was. 
With more boats on the water but a safer environment why not save ONE MILLION DOLLARS by cutting Marine Patrol budget (and eliminating the auxiliary)?
Get with the program BroadHopper
