Where's the outrage over this shoreline destruction by the environmentalists? Yet moving a boulder is a major problem?
How exactly do you propose we control that? A speed limit? Maybe a restriction on boat length, displacement, or hull type? Perhaps we should just accept the reality that in this state none of those things will come out of the legislature in our life time and just allow the construction of a wall around the entire lake? If you come up with any good solutions that might have even a remote chance of making it into rule or law please share it with the Wetlands people because we're all fresh out of ideas. (Oh yes, and while your at it, think about how you're going to sell it to those Safety people since they are the only authority that is allowed to regulate boating acting around here and if they won't support your idea it will be DOA.)

In the meantime, someone tell T.H.E. Binz to file a Standard Dredge and Fill Application to move that rock because the Town Clerk must forward that application type directly to the state. It cannot be held by the town.
