So what did the Senate do?

In other words, whatever you are paying to "boat" on the Lake, add $100 to the pot - pay to play and be supervised, if unable to act responsibly, so that the Lake may be enjoyed by all.

One hundred dollars still buys a lot of groceries. Some folks scrape together $75 to buy a used fiberglass Lincoln el-cheapo canoe so that they can boat—at all!

The lake should be for all peaceable boaters to enjoy, even the financially strapped.

Maybe I missed it, but was anything decided? How long does it take the Senate to make a decision on something like this?

Your point is well taken and I agree.

Unfortunately, some are in fear of using the unsafe Lake and desire a speed limit to remedy their fear. Their remedy requires $$$$$ and that places a financial burden upon those financially challenged.

If the MP were properly funded, the current rules, regulations, and laws would provide for a safer Lake and dispel the fears of most Lake users - the rest will require professional help to overcome their fears.

Ever use a pay toilet?

Sometimes life is harsh for the financially challenged.

If the boaters pony-up, the swimmers (no fee required) will be able to swim without the alleged fears mentioned in the HB162 threads.

As an after thought, it never ceases to amaze me how people are able to afford cigarettes while complaining of being financially challenged – the joys of being an addict.

Again, sometimes life is harsh for the financially challenged.
