...and let's not forget the Marine Patrol cruising along the shoreline in front of these houses every now and then to keep people from getting too close.
My husband and I have been by there three times this summer to check the progress and MP was there twice, cruising the shoreline, ONLY in front the the properties. We watched and concluded (hopefully incorrectly) that MP was there to specifically prevent boat traffic from coming too close. Not protecting the lake, not protecting boat traffic -- but protecting the properties.
I truly hope MP is being paid by the owners of those houses -- would really tee me off if my tax dollars went to protect the privacy of those who build houses crying out for attention.
