I have been silent throughout all of these discussions. I thought I'd throw in my humble little citizen view here.

This sounds to me like a few greedy men are out to make some big money which is great. That's what this country is built on. However, These few men (and their lawyers - lets not forget them) shouldn't have any say at all on what size boats other citizens can or can't use on public lakes. This is basic common sense. If they want to build the resort community. . . let them. What does this have to do with what size boats people can use?

Some lakes (or ponds) are very small and boat size is restricted to 'non motorized boats only' or 'trolling motors only'. This is for good reason. However, Lake Martin is no small lake. So this does come back to greed by a few men who are only thinking of themselves after all.

If this bill does pass. I would like to watch what happens when the development starts. I bet your going to see a few top executives of Alabama Power buying VERY large yachts (although they won't be able to use them on LM . . . Ironic) and VERY large houses over the next few years on their humble little salaries . I hope a few TV stations start watching this angle very closely.

I guess in the end my little voice means not. I get amazed at how such stupid ideas from a few greedy men can make it so far in government without anyone doing the right thing and stopping it. I'm not sure which is worse.
