Not at all. Ya done good.

Yours is the only reply so far to the post. I hope others who have experienced
this wonderful fishery will contribute something to save it from development.
If this goes through, I see Lake Richardson turning into another Lake
Winnipesaukee in the next 25 years. I remember Winnipesaukee in the 40s when
it was undeveloped. Today it is a lake surrounded by a city.

Thanks for your and FFIM's help, Tim. I'll be at Lakewood on the 12th of June,
but may borrow a car from the Carters and meet you at the raffle.

Again, thanks.

I'm assuming that those are private lands that are being considered for
development?

If so I have missed feelings about this. I am in favor of not having
those lands developed, HOWEVER, I believe the landowners deserve
compensation for the loss in value that results from these new
restrictions. If you are in favor of placing new restrictions on a
landowner that results in a reduction of the value of his land, I
believe that you need to be willing to take the responsibility to
compensate the land owner for that loss.
