My family visits multiple times a year because of the floating house we own there. We would not visit if it weren't for this.

Our family and friends have used these lakes used or own houseboats for as long as I remember. Our dollars go back into the local community.

Best vacations of my life are going to my family's house boat. I would choose going there over anywhere else. Way too unique and beautiful to remove.

Our family enjoys vacationing at Norris lake at least twice every year and more if possible. It is one of our main destinations. We thoroughly enjoy being right out on the water in a floating house. Additionally one of the biggest draws is the community along with resources of state and national parks. A goal for my wife and I is to own a floating house ourself, and make frequent trips to the area. I completely understand conservation and would support those efforts. I do not feel that floating houses need to be removed to accomplish this goal. I believe that we can preserve this amazing resource through regulatory requirements and maintenance of these structures gaining the most from both sides of this debate. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you

Working together for the good of all involved is a much better approach then faulting and devaluing what so many have invested their hard earned money in. TVA has to except their own lack of responsibility for the issues at hand.

If this thing passes can you imagine the slum this lake will become with vacated and ill kept floating homes? Where is the incentive to maintain? We pick up so much flotsam in our cove already that we can't keep ahead of it. Cannot imagine how that will look without us.

I am 31 years old and have spent my entire life on the lake. I enjoy the lake and my floating home to the fullest. My husband and I take pride in our floating home and we respect the waters and keep our floating home up to highest of standards. DONT LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON US!!!!

We love our floating house and enjoy the water. We respect the lake and the environment.... And want to see it well taken care of. That's why we do all we can to keep it clean and nice!!

My sister just recently had a nice houseboat built to let it stay on Norris lake. To go to all that expense and then find that the board don't give a "pile of beans" about her loss or any others', makes many people upset with them. This lake, like other ones was to serve all the people and not for just the people on the board's enjoyment.
