His need and dreams for speed was the only thing behind this bill and all his followers drank the Kool Aid. He bought himself a “Thunder Boat” and come hell or high water he is going to see how fast he can go and everyone else better get out of his way. That is immature in my book.
While I am for SB-27, I do find that article painted Scott in the worst possible light. If the whole "dreams" pitch was truly his it was not the best pitch to put out there in the news...

You are so right codeman671. I wonder if he cried at the meeting?

Just curious that's all.

I consider Scott to be a friend. I have worked with him on other legislation. He believes in what he is fighting for, and he is doing it in an honorable way. I also think the compromise he wants for the broads is reasonable.

It is unfortunate that a great many responsible boaters have been inconvenienced by speed limits on Winni. I wish there were a way to allow responsible performance boaters to continue to use they lake in the way they once did.

However there is an old saying that you can't make an omelet, without breaking eggs. At the end of the day, I support speed limits and he does not.
