Certainly not, but I do have to admit that I'd be even more concerned about my safety if noise bill HB1624 passes and safety bill HB162 does not. Although I repeat that I do support noise bill HB1624 and hope it passes, I worry about those 100MPH boats coming at me without the noise to warn me to get out of the way. Noise bill HB1624 is a great idea as long as it joins
with safety bill HB162 as the first steps in an overall strategy to repair the problems on our lakes, and is not put forth as some sort of a substitute. A noise limit is no substitute for safety.
By the way, how/why did HB1624 get ahead of HB162's final vote on the House calendar?
