Where are you getting your information to back up this claim? The same place that provides you the impetus to promote hb162?
I've so far have stayed out of this debate, because I believe that "out of staters" are the ones who are pushing the passing of this bill. I know of no one who has lived here all their lives that thinks that a speed limit is the answer. It's been widely known for many years that the problem is all the tourists who do not obey or care about the laws that are already on the books and who also have a keen disregard for anyone but themselves. This problem is visible in alot of places, not just on the lake. And it's chalked up to progress, as alot of local folk depend on tourism for their livelilhoods. People put up with it, but do not approve of it.
However, I believe that it's one thing to standby and watch the changes to the landscape and economy that tourism provides, but it's a whole different issue to then standby and watch transplants attempt to push their adgenda via the political process and their$$$$
Even if people like you have the right to do such.
Therefore I must speak up for what I hold dear and have let my elected officials know my opinion on this subject. Which, btw is my desire for them to vote against hb162.
