According to the Alabama Marine Industries Assn, the Bill is being lobbied by the Geddes group in Montgomery who respresents Alabama Power and also another lobbyist hired by a realty company in Wedowee. It was started both in the House and Senate and both are out of committee. (The Senate bill by a committee vote of 10-0!)

The senate could vote as early as next week and with the Spring Break recess, it could take another 2 weeks for both houses to act on it - if we don't mount some stiff opposition.

I wonder how the legislature will deal with the boats and wetslips that would be outlawed by their action, the marina people that will be put out of work, or the cruiser families that will no longer be able to afford to enjoy the lake??????
