I am not a tree hugger, and I'm not inconsiderate of the beauty and health of the lake either. I don't think the lake should be further polluted. HOWEVER, if someone is acting within their rights under the law (25 feet rule), I cannot fault them. Perhaps the laws should be changed and our distain for the pollution on the lake should be aimed at lawmakers for making wimpy laws in the first place. Don't know how things can be enforced, or even if it is lawful to tell people what to do with their property....but don't knock the guy who has a nice lawn and isn't breaking any environmental law doing it.
