From your signature it looks like you're lucky enough to enjoy the lake as a second home--a luxury few government employees can afford. So maybe a few extra dollars a year isn't so bad?

Ah, no, actually I didn't suggest that at all. You are welcome to start another side thread on that if you like, but don't put words in my mouth.
