Drove back to Fern Lake to attend (with Marty) the Vermont Legislature’s Lake Shoreland Protection Commission Hearing in Middlebury.  Except it weren’t no “hearing”, unless you count the audience hearing a sales pitch from the Commission leaders and the Vermont Agency for Natural Resources as to why extensive new restrictions on lake shore development (and new bureaucracy) are needed to protect the quality of lakes and ponds that are mostly in excellent condition, except for Eurasian milfoil infestations… and the proposed new rules wouldn’t address that issue.
