Open Lakes, Please Contact State Assembly Member Brian Jones.

Our city, county, and state leadership MUST be voted out or recalled immediately! Our access has been so poorly managed it is laughable. These C and D students, who have become politicians, do not know how to handle anything in the real world. They have ruined everything they touch.

- Closed all parks, lakes, beaches and launch ramps.
- OH Wait...opened the beaches, but closed the parking lots so people have to park on streets in neighborhoods and jam up sidewalks.
- Open parks, but no parking lots? What??
- Put meter maids at all entrances in mission bay and SD bay, instead of controlling flow to the ramps so people can launch boats with their own family.
- There is ZERO reason to disallow access to our lakes, bays, and launch ramps.... ZERO!

OPEN OUR STUFF!! IT BELONGS TO THE US!!

Our so-called "leaders" are drunk on power and control.

 

Agree with what you are saying, just wanted to say that most of our politicians aren’t C and D students, most of them were probably A and B students. Thing is those people have been blessed by luck and fortune and have had most things handed to them in life, which is how they got to the position that they are in. The C and D students are the ones suffering from people like said politicians who run the schools and universities. Yeah it makes sense to label them as “C and D students” based off their stupidity, but I believe that most of those politicians grew up and got to their position without struggles and difficulties, as they haven’t learned the perspectives of anyone but themselves.

 

My thoughts exactly! But they can't do that. Even on the City Lakes web site they are careful to say that activities enjoyed by the public are "supervised". In fishing that means opening the gate and chasing everyone off the lake at sundown. Very expensive!

 

Don’t forget the guy at SV That-chases you out of the ski only area even when no ones is using it. I don’t remember a time when any one checked me for a permit or a license on any lake in the county, In the last10 years

 

LOL, yeah that happened to me the last time I was there. Not a wake or ski boat in sight. I said,"so do we have to leave?" He said, "no, then I would have to run those other guys out". (pointing to other fishermen.)
Just wanted us to know that he could run us out!

 

How many people does it take to run a lake, lakes without contact, one in the morning to open the gate an over lap during the day with the person closing the lake. Post the time you have to be off the water, if they are not off at that time ticket them. They do not check permits, they do not enforce no wake rules (narrows at Hodges, you could sit in the narrows and fine about 10 boats an hour) Boat inspection can be done without breaking the social distancing protocol. Water contact lakes add one person for enforcement. If I saw the rangers doing ranger things it would be different but I don't hanging out and shooting the $h1t all day is not what I would consider Ranger work.

 

I heard second hand from a person that spoke to the Hodges dam-keeper that "they" are NOT planning on opening Lake Hodges at all this season. I don't know their excuses - maybe they claim they can't clean the floating port-potties ( so don't open them - ask people to hold it till they get back to the dock!) or some reason like that. You know the water authority hates recreation and would prefer Hodges never opens. Let your representative know that this is not acceptable.

 

How many city employees does it take to screw in a light bulb......50, and they're all overpaid!

 

It's interesting, none of the lakes,rivers, or streams I fish in the Sierras have permits, or on duty rangers. You just go fish and follow the f-ing rules.

 

Famous author Lawrence Durrell wrote about politicians: "the last refuge for a diseased ego"

 

The City has docketed a special budget meeting May 11th at 6:00 PM (please see City website for agenda and public comment instructions delivered by phone or webform).. This may be the last time to comment on proposed budget cuts that apparently include reservoir closures and or limited access.

PS that's tomorrow!

 

It’s not the employees that are causing this it’s the mayor and the city council, don’t blame the working people

 

Here are the various line items they are proposing to cut.

Most of us don't mind raising prices to use our lakes to achieve revenue neutral. I am a dis-abled vet and fishing is one of the only outdoor sports available to me and to others like me.
