I welcome the opportunity for responsible boaters to have proper representation in the legislature. My observation over the past several years has been that there is a vociferous minority of individuals who have latched on to certain legislatures in order to stake their claim to boating on Lake Winnipesauke. A key concern on mine is that the majority of the boating related bills are without any statistical or factual merit backing them up. Presenting a bill based on personal opinion with no safety or environmental hard data behind it is irresponsible, and a waste of our representative’s time. We are all here to share the recreational resource that Lake Winnipesauke has to offer. I am eager to be involved in this organization, to put an end to “boat class” segregation, and discrimination when it comes to legislating who has greater rights to our lake’s use.
