We hear about our so called loss of freedoms and liberty in regards to HB-462 but in fact many of the lake's residents who support limits have felt a loss of some of their freedoms and liberties (i.e. freedom to enjoy peaceful recreation) and that's what was behind the push for these bills.
But Sunset, who paid for the poll. Look a poll has to be paid for by someone, I think we are all smart enough to know that any poll, not just this one is not an equal playing field. While I will agree with you that most of society are sheep when it comes to voting and having an opinion on a subject. But with a vote that is passed on to the citizens, each side has an equal opportunity to present their case (media has to allow equal time). You do not have that with a poll.

I do have one question based on your response. Is it the Lake's residents or the states residents that are pushing for freedom to enjoy the state's lake? Not all lake residents are state residents. I know, I know, the "poll" said the state agreed.
