Ok, I listened live to the legislative session when this came up for vote. There were multiple ammendment attempts to this law which would outright ban PWCs on the lakes in question. There was an ammemdment proposed to ban PWC use during the time frame of 6pm and 9am.

This is no joke, you may agree that some of these items make sense to most, but you are lost to the notion that either you or someone you know or are related to will be affected by future legislation. Most of the complaints are because some people have lost their common sense. It doesn't make sense to me for someone to be riding a PWC in circles at 6am, but I don't believe its my right to outlaw it... This is legislating common sense...

It wouldn't make sense for me to ride a PWC at night, but if it has proper running lights, it isn't illegal. I also don't think my opinion should become law. But then, I am not Bob/God and I am not use to making decisions for the poor useless public....

They will not set a speed limit on the lake because it would affect the fishing tournaments which bring in money to these coffers... Also, find a bass boat longer than 26' 11".... Most are well below this and have rediculous horsepower for their hulls.

Including Lake Jordan on this law is baseless. There are no marinas with covered slips. I do not know of a marina with a "Pump out station" on lake Jordan. It is already illegal to house a boat that has a Marine Sanitation Device (sewage system) at a marina with no pump out. So, if there are no marinas with a pump out then there are no "Big" boats... Other than the occasional weekenders who trailer in. BUT the public ramps are not built to support long trailers, so I don't see how big boats are an issue at Jordan to begin with. I guess it makes the representative more popular with the locals who are aparently scared they will be over ran with big boats. Lake Jordan is not desireable enough that it would draw in the big boat crowd anyway.

None of the legislaters are educated on the existing restrictions, and they are only doing what they are being paid to do... (under the table or otherwise).

Either way, regardless if you are for or against further legislation, it is coming!
