Dear Senators:
Once again we are seeing posts about how this is not a concern or that is not a concern. Another favorite is the "we tried to compromise", or "I would rather have had a horsepower limit", or fast boats make wakes that kill loons, or an accident a few years ago caused by a drunk not looking where he was going somehow magically would have been prevented by a speed limit.
The bottom line: A SPEED LIMIT WILL SOLVE NOTHING, a speed limit will cause enforcement officers to move to the Broads looking for speeders who don't exist or are few and far between taking them away from much more productive public safety oriented tasks.
Why????
So a few people on an island (or islands) can put the first notch in their belt in their effort to remove boats from the lake. Don't fall for it Senators, your job, is to see through frenzies stirred up by rabble-rousers and do the right thing. The right thing here is to defeat this bill.
