HOBOS state that they represent boaters. Aparently "Boaters" have no clout...

"In this short time, the HOBOs have grown to over 2,000 homeowner and business members who expect us to positively influence both governmental decision makers and Alabama Power Company to better manage our lake levels and to maintain water quality second to none."

"As representatives of the largest impoundment in the state, with over 7,600 homes, and many affected businesses, the Lake Martin HOBOs are uniquely qualified to share the economic impact of the lack of water. We would like to explain the true cost of low water levels on our economy; it is not only about recreation, it is about lives and livelihoods."

Leave the boaters out because their "plight" is recreational and doesn't have the same emotional impact as others...? Did someone forget that the entire economy is in peril? What is the honest affect of low water? Did anyone not use the area as much BECAUSE of the low water, or just inflation and recession?
