Thanks LTL, but we both live in the real world and we both know this had nothing to do with wake. Never has. This is all dirty politics with dirty money lining pockets of those dirty policians who wanted it passed in the beginning.

Why would I say such a thing???

The truth (and I will try my hardest to leave my opinion out) is that when the good Senator from the East side of the state introduced this bill a few things happened. Number one, he could not come up with one reason why the bill would benefit the lake. I know, my husband and I both called. He wanted to compare apples and oranges, but nothing directly based at our lake on WHY???? He honestly on the phone tried to bring up the excuse of pollution? Ha! Because my boat has a sanitation system? I have to get inspected on an annual bases to make sure that are are absolutely no pollutants entering the lake.

There was never a public forum. So all of us can claim to be the "silent majority" all we want, but truth is, we all lost some rights on that day. We hire politicians to vote for the people, but how do they know how their people want to vote? Plus the lawmakers from across the state got to decide, what do they know about Lake Martin? Did they once ever call in an expert for any of the assumptions? I listened in that day through the website... there were no witnesses, no public forum... nothing.

Also, I spoke with a lot of individuals involved in the politics of this state, and once they found out APCO was involved... they stated "might as well give up"..... hmmmm, that's funny, I thought the people were suppose to control the state, not the power company... but hey... they keep the lights on :0)
