New PROPOSED Waterfront Property Milfoil "FEE"

The quality of the lake matters to many including: lakeshore property owners, boaters, fishermen, local tourist related businesses, tourists themselves and towns with lakeshore property. Milfoil is here and it is a real threat to the quality of the lake.

Control will take considerable effort on a long term basis and this will require real funding. But guess what; no one wants to pay for it.

Most town governments around the lake are starting to budget for milfoil control and there is some ad-hoc coordination of efforts.

As property owners in Alton and on Welch Island my wife and I have a stake in the quality of the lake. I suspect that most forum members also have a stake in the quality of the lake.

I don’t know what the best overall funding solution is but it is appropriate to have a public dialog as to various approaches.
