Fulton Demontrates What is Wrong with Slow No Wake Application

So, as you see below, the Town of Fulton issues a memo on Monday morning indicating the conditions are acceptable to remove the Slow No Wake Order -- 5 days later, on Friday (tomorrow).

Yes, Lake Koshkonong water levels are/were dropping, but on Monday, the weather forecast for the remaining week was.....RAIN!

We need no further evidence that the SLOW NO WAKE order is applied and removed (especially true for removing the order) in a blatant arbitrary and punitive fashion.

By the way - today's lake level is 777.96 (up from yesterday).

On Monday, the lake level was 778.11 (a drop of 1.8 inches).

We must ask ourselves, is the county/town applying the Slow No Wake Order for the purpose the state statutes intended it to be applied, or, is it applied and removed arbitrarily, such as when the Holiday Weekend begins and County and Town Leaders don't want their phones ringing from their prohibition of boat wakes and their inability to enforce the order?

Frankly, if it is acceptable to remove the Slow No Wake order on Friday for the 3-day holiday weekend, then the town has violated its stated "policy" of removing the Slow No Wake at 777.00 and RKLD has proven our case that current procedures violate the Public Trust Doctrine that governs Wisconsin's waterways.
