Isnt it funny how much the real truth hurts? Also as far as keeping my thoughts to myself on a public board, isnt that what this place is all about? Look at the facts everyone, no big smelly boats and you have no economy in the lakes region. HOW MANY PEOPLE in the lakes region have a job that depends on boating? Just look at all the marinas in the area, each of those marinas employs at a minimum, about 10 people. now multiply that by the ten marinas just on the south side of the lake, all of a sudden 100 people have no jobs......interesting isnt it? I mean come on everyone, this is plain and simple economics, loose the customer or the "demand" and you have no income, plain and simple.

You can't be serious Will. Taking a few stink-pots off the Lake is going to cause the Lakes Region economy to collapse? I'm not buying it!

Just for the record, we have legal professionals, medical professionals, educational professionals, police, fire fighters, restaurant owners, trades people, high tech, real estate, etc......... a whole lot of other careers that do not involve boats or the lake and we manage to maintain our economy pretty well thank you. We do have a short, but decent tourism season that adds to the economy - no doubt there. Everybody's (US) money is the same color, but what they bring with them is what matters and let's just hope and pray that you are the exception rather than the rule when it comes to what our tourism contributes to our environment and economy. Enjoy your day.
