The last sentence in FlyingScot's post is all anyone needs to know about caring for our Lakes. The economy of the Lakes Region is the LAKE, whether it is swimming of boating, it is the LAKE. If the "warning" signs start appearing early in the season, the economy is at serious risk. It is a little like snow in the ski areas - no snow, poor economy.
"Jaw boning" people into protecting the Lake isn't working. We need some serious legislation designed specifically for the immediate problem. Maybe it is time, in some areas, that the "grandfather clause" be eliminated in favor of saving the ecology for our grandkids.
