Dam I really missed the boat on this one.
This is a link to the Lake George Boat User Fee, the one that the CLA is supposedly using as their guide line. I can see no resemblance between the two at all.
Jon You are so right this is not a done deal. It is not a done deal until the legislative session ends. I am so afraid of this being attached to some other bill and being squashed as were the funds to make repairs and improvements to Latin’s Cove.
""I would be curious with 6000 boats docked on candlewood how many of these boaters buy fishing licenses. I thought our license paid for the stocking of such lakes. Why should the dep in turn stock a lake in which the only people who would spend 50 dollars to use the lake are the people who are docked on the lake. I wouldn't pay 50 dollars to use the lake maybe 5 times a year. RETHINK YOUR PLAN. I was also listening in on a CLA officer last year, who I overheard say to another it's time to go and harass the bass fishermen. something needs to be done!"" END QUOTE
I don't know of any more public meetings on this issue. I think the best way to influence this now is to physically write a letter. Write it out on your computer and use spell check and grammar check.
Once you have a letter you are satisfied with then send it out to your representatives, the head of DEP, the environmental committee chairs and The Governor.
Guys the hand written letter caries more weight than any other method of communication except a direct conversation and I'm sorry if it is more work but that is a fact. Club A asked what they should do to further influence The legilators and the response was letters. Emails are to easy make them have to open up a letter and read it. A written letter will get a written response from your local reprsentative.

Have a safe time on the water and may that tight line be pulling back.
