I am currently organizing the collected signatures into a formal proposal for the Governor's office. Legal counsel is reviewing the existing executive order to highlight the specific language that needs revision. Expect a summary of these findings once the draft is finalized.

The current growth marks a turning point that allows us to move from gathering support to direct advocacy. I am now finalizing a formal letter to the Governor's office outlining the specific economic and recreational impacts of the current restrictions.

I don’t understand why I can’t sit on my pontoon with the same people I sit in my living room with. I do understand no congregating and riding with people you don’t live with. This def needs to be modified.

Some people are fishing to feed their family, remember most of us do not have jobs

This order seems very excessive. Social distancing on a boat is way more practical than in any grocery store, gas station or even ordering takeout. Why must you strip people of so many rights?

Absolutely absurd. No reason for banning the use of motorized boats with direct family onboard.

Boating is social distancing. Docs are built with public taxes. Basically illegal to take the right to boating away from boaters.
