Ok, I'm coming clean. I was the one interviewed by WSFA. They gave my family a 20 minute window of opportunity to make a statement. The interview with me was the only reason WSFA was at Anchor Bay. It just so happens that the fire was the same morning, and obviously they would want to make two stories out of one. I was standing right next to Don when he told the reporter that he was the previous owner and that his wife is now the manager of Anchor Bay. WSFA made that error. When Don gave his interview the fire Marshall/inspector had not shown up yet. His statement that he hopes it was not set because of his backing of the bill was him stating a possible motive for the fire and he has every right of freedom of speech to voice his concerns/thoughts whether they are valid or otherwise. As he stated, he wishes that it was a pure freak accident.
As for my time with the camera, everything on the news gets edited. They did not show the name of my boat, although they filmed it from close-up. I am not ashamed of any of my posts, or my wife’s posts on this subject matter. I only wish that the law would include scientific justification (or even state the obvious business justification). AND I wish the general public would have been given its ten seconds on the soap box.
I have stated that this bill actually will increase the value of our “Grand-fathered” boats. That still does not make it right. I listened to the Senate audio online. There were amendments offered that would ban the use of PWC during the evening and early morning hours AND this proposed amendment included ALL Alabama lakes. There was also talk about banning “floating condo’s”, and condos on pilings, in addition to the banning of multiple other items.
Anyhow, I would have hated to miss the opportunity for my opinion to be aired on the media, regardless of the outcome. I only wish they would have given us enough time to rally some more supporters (20 minutes).
