I sincerely hope that the crowd's voices were actually heard. In an era when one "Karen" can cause whole industries to change, can we hope that a massed crowd's displeasure can bring about change?

Unfortunately or maybe fortunately depending on if you were a local resident or not, it was all about residents issues with the planned development of the area and not one thing was brought up about fishing access, unless you were a homeowner and live around the lake. The city council spoke first, then the residents.  I tried to ask about how the access was going to work at Andersen cove this Winter but was never given the chance because of all the residents there. Then after 30 minutes of questions, they shut it all down.

I’m glad I didn’t go to that meeting. Something told me that it’s just pop and circumstance and a bunch of hot air being blown up. I was up there today at my third attempt for a TM fishing wasn’t so great especially tearing up my prop when some bank tanglers kept asking me questions and made me lose my focus.(pretty frustrating).

The positive aspect was when I was cleaning up my boat a gentleman by the name of Adam, who runs the forest service side of things, stopped and chatted with me for quite some time. I was pretty direct to my questions of why off-season prices to launch are the same price as it is to go to big corporate lagoon and park?? Why are there no discounts for disabled veterans, and seniors who are retired. He said he would pass along that information. My guess from the conversation is there is a district forrest manager above him who made all these decisions and that is the person that we need to contact their boss if we want something to happen because my guess is they have a little too much power? 
He did say that if there is a group, willing to take care of the bathroom and be responsible, the forest service will be willing to open gates for them in the winter time we just need to contact them. some of this information might be redundant, but I did want to share it with the group.
