How big is Lake Tuscaloosa? I'm guessing under 6,000 acres, which would mean it has about one-sixth the acrage of Lake Martin. Which means, of course, that for Lake Martin to be equally served by the Marine Police, it would need six times the number of officers.
Does Lake Martin have six officers period, never mind six for every one that patrols Lake Tuscaloosa?
Yours is a good idea in theory; unfortunately, Lake Martin falls short in the categories of manpower, and patrol boats. If we ever get enough WPs on the lake to adequately enforce those rules, I'd be all for it. But until that happens, your idea-- however great it is-- just isn't feasible.
Another question-- when did this bill become all about speed? Weren't we told for a while that it was for greedy rich people who wanted to keep poor cruiser-owners off the lake? And then weren't we told that it was for big developers, who wanted to keep unsightly houseboats off the lake? When did it become all about speed? I missed that memo.
