Always interesting watching a thread like this one. Those who want something changed or to remain the same put the full court press on. Depending who wins the issue the other claims political pressure and it always is. So if the Lake stays open it was bowing to political pressure says one side. If the lake is closed bowing to political pressure says the other.

Now the closer side will claim science is on their side but in the real world at best science is half politics. It just varies depending on what science, issue, and cost to those impacted. The real world has little ownership in anything until political pressure is added. It is how our system works.
