Not true BI. The Marine Patrol is being inconvenienced and tax payer dollars are being wasted enforcing a law that has been clearly shown is/was not needed.

How much of an inconvenience is it to enforce a law that nobody is violating?

How much can it cost to enforce a law that nobody is violating?



By the way my arguments along these lines are rhetorical. I know from personal knowledge that boats ARE violating the SL.

We have been through this numerous times.

To enforce this law MP must get extensive training, equipment must be purchased, etc... etc...

These are monies and resources that could be spent making the lake safer by going after the boneheads which we have discussed to death here.

Boats are indeed violating the speed limit as you mentioned however they are far and few between.

Impossible. According to the supporters, it was far too calm and civil on the lake this summer. There's no speeding in our new 2 year utopia!
