bottom line is whoever forges the strongest voice with the dep will have the greatest chance to win the tug of war. correct me if im wrong but imo the gist of this issue is that the lake homeowners represented by cla want to have the same rights as people who live on a private or semi private lake. they wish for the public to be denied or further restricted access to a public body of water. a body of water with a federal deed that requires its owners to allow "UNBIASED" access to all the residents of the state of ct. left unabated and unchallenged the methods to achieve their goals such as the sticker program will incremently(sp) strangle the publics access.
