Default Threats will get the Law passed?

Looking at that link:

First of all, the logic there is the same type used by the guy that got up at a forum meeting this summer in favor of the Bill by saying "I am a Bass fisherman and my boat will only do 45 mph, Please pass the speed limit so I can be more competitive in the tournaments" duh!

Secondly, if all these go fasters do leave as they threaten to, that just means the lake will become more appealing to families with pontoon boats and smaller, slower family boats. They will now rent where the go fasters vacated and pump money into the local area. The down side of that is??

Thirdly, "Property values will go down if the go fasters pull out" Maybe that just means property will be more affordable for the middle income families that will be bringing their slower boats and revenue to the Lake's Region. Again, the downside is?

Finally, my feeling is, pass the Law, and wave good-bye as the go-fasters leave, and post their McMansions 'For Sale' cuz there is always someone ready to come in. Bottom line is, there will always be someone there to come in and take the go-fasters place. They will continue to pump money into the regions economy. And if the Law does pass, you will see just how many empty threats of leaving were made.
