Perhaps after awhile people will learn to obey the law. Hope they give every one of them that is in violation of the laws a ticket, and if they have two, take them off the lake. Homeowners do not need people peeing on their property, dogs doing their duty on the property, or the unneeded noise that some bring with them.

If tickets were not given then our tax dollars are not at work.

As long as the law/rule is on the books they can enforce it.

But as to tax dollars at work, I'd prefer they used mine to catch drunks and other unsafe boaters, rather than pass out what are essentially expensive parking tickets. Unfortunately, I don't get to make that choice.

As to people and dogs doing there thing, that's not covered by no rafting rules.

JRC:

I have to agree with you on that one. There are certainly more pressing issues at hand. It should be interesting in West Alton this weekend, as it looks like we are due for a mini heat wave!
