[GO-OKFISHIN]

I was there and like Mike said he mentioned "improving" the areas for bank fishing. I also believe his definition of improving is eliminating. There was a very good case made against his argument for security issues. What about all the boats that are locked through? They have no control over what a boat may have in it so his argument for security is null and void.

I worked for a large Local home builder here in the 90's. They were very successful and were bought out by a large public company from the Northeast. We were told nothing was going to change and everybody believed them. Well 30 days later the memo's started appearing about new policies and procedures and they kept coming. They began to infiltrate the company with their people and brought one person ( I struggle to call him anything else) in whose job was to harass and berate the people they no longer wanted. They eventually ran everybody off and brought their monkeys in. When the upper tier of management had things the way they wanted they got rid of the original goon.

IMO I can't help but think that DeLapp is that guy for the Corp. Doug Markham asked him why nobody else had implemented the policy and he admitted because nobody else wanted to confront this, as he pointed to the crowd. Either he has been instructed to enforce it, take the fall and move on or he has chosen to take it on, be a hero with his superiors and get the H*** out of the State of Tennessee.

He also made it sound like it was HIS decision to put up the physical barriers. He said Commanders in the different regions make their own decisions on how to implement the policy. He cited an example how some regions simply use buoys and signs and sometimes spray paint to mark restricted areas. Hopefully if this decision moves forward and stays in place they will nix the suggestion of the physical barriers and use buoys and signs. I believe he faces a real obstacle obtaining 2.5 million dollars for this..

Wonder how much they paid the one guy that stood up and supported it?
