and you live in maine? i'm pretty sure all your "game wardens" or whatever actually do is zoom up to every one on a lake at full speed and ask if you have life vests for everyone onboard and make sure nobody close to the wheel is drinking

I only think they do this on peak days on the popular lakes. even then it's really for show cause that poo poo is completely unenforceable.

the original plan would have just given about $50 mil in city waterfront property to the organizers until some people who aren't as corrupt as the mayor started paying attention

it also said it would bring literal billions in revenue to the city because nobody was supposed to actually read the proposal and do the math [it said the average attendee would spend like $300k while in SF or something dumb like that]

my favorite bit is the mayor let them re-bid for next time even after all that

i mean, if you were a cop and had the option to a) do some stupid cop poo poo or b) pull over people in your sweet cop boat or c) profit?

this is a no brainer, they probably fight each other about it
