Speed Limit Passes House

Let's look at this a different way... The proponents are complaining that the lake is overcrowded and dangerous now. Any issues with this so far?

Now, what will happen when the big scary go fast boats leave (being that is the thought process behind them)? Their thoughts are that lots of families will come back who have been previously driven out They will be bringing their boats, jet skiis and bad boating skills to an already overcrowded lake. What will now happen is even more crowding, higher likelihood of accidents because of the crowding and sheer volume of boats, more pollution from the added people, boat traffic, swimmers, etc..

Are you really going to be happy with the outcome of this all should it pass? What is your next argument? Ban them all I bet...I hope your attempt at revenge is worth it, you may be the one bitten in the end.

This state has some wacky rules...like I have seven: kayaks, canoe, rowboat,& sailboats and don't pay a dime for registration. Win $850,000 in the Powerball and the state makes a great big zero. Purchase a pizzarama pizza that needs to be baked at home in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes and still I pay 8% or 40 cents tax for the pizza. So, my pizzarama pizza is paying for the state services used by the Powerball winner (who shall remain nameless because he is a reverred state leader).

FLL. Have you ever stopped to consider why the State runs a lottery? They don't wait for you to pay taxes on the winnings. They take their half before they tell you how much you win. Then the Feds take another half. If you are Lucky enough to win a big one, they use your half for 20 years interest free. I doubt the State is unhappy with the jackpot being tax free.

Well put. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. I love fast boats because they have the smallest wakes.
