They (Continued) <br /> implied that as they withdre�� the service, <br /> • the lake communities would fill ite And guess <br /> what? This is just what they are proposing to <br /> � do, via the LMCD. <br /> � The hard nose approach that I am proposing <br /> � might make them reconsider just like Congress <br /> right now is trying to draft up legislation to <br /> � cease making the �,rmy Corps of Engineers an <br /> issue in areas like Lake T�Zinnetonka. If the <br /> � Corps was not being sued by a citizen° s group, <br /> • I doubt that Congress would be considering <br /> such legislation. <br /> � The Sheriff stated in a story in the September 22 <br /> ` "Laker" , that the LMCD is playing into the <br /> commissioners hands and striping the Sheriff <br /> s of the statutory obligation, Also, no support <br /> from the LPdCD and no organized support from the <br /> � local governments. <br /> � Note the September lOth mailing �vhere the LMCD is <br /> � asking for "seed money" to start their nev� activity, <br /> Should not our response be the followingo NO: o : : <br /> � concerning the LMCD proposalo <br /> i Let' s organize with other lake communities and the <br /> .
