Do I sense some sarcasm that the lake level is 495.5 and we've had a lot of rain. Wait until July and extreme summer temperatures and see what happens if an agreement of some type on minimum water level is not reached.

As far as removing all boat docks from Smith Lake, Alabama Power is not that dumb nor do they have this level of control over existing docks. They may elect to restrict new docks installations in the future but I doubt this. Young people are experiencing levels of recreation that their parents and grandparent could not enjoy. Smith lake will continue to be developed until public sentiment is that the lake is too crowed and they will see that this is not a good investment.

The Boston tea party would seem like a day in the park if removal actions were attempted. Public sentiment would be somehing that they would never hope to ever see. I don't think that this country has enough federal judges to hear all the law suits that would be initiated.
