Why did you guys give up on that discussion and try to turn yet another thread into a "discrimination against cigarette boats" thread?
What happened to the concerns about buying all those signs to float around the lake?
What happened to the argument that we have to send every MP officer to an 8 hour training course in the busy summertime instead of sending just 1 officer to a 2 week instructor-certification course in the slow wintertime?
What happened to the argument that officers will have to spend hundreds of OT hours in court to enforce a half dozen tickets?
And why no mention of the CG's Recreational Boating Safety Program ( http://www.uscgboating.org/grants/state/rbs.htm) that we already take part in, which will provide upon application half of the state's costs for;
" Providing facilities, equipment, and supplies for boating safety education and law enforcement, including purchase, operation, maintenance, and repair" and " Training personnel in skills related to boating safety and to the enforcement of boating safety laws and regulations".
Let's get back on topic. |
I really never got into all of those arguements. It is obvious it will cost some money no matter how little. It will cost MP time, it will not be self enforcing IMO.
Maybe my post doesn't belong here, sorry FJ. I just don't think this bill makes the lake a safer place. So no matter how little it costs I see it as wasted money and time.
