Quote from Miranda Rovetto:
"... a lot of people are going to loose money and move away from lake George because they have businesses selling jet ski's and renting them out and if we ban them they won't make that profit."

Quote from Jeff Bushey:
"Hundreds of people come to our lake to have some fun on their jet skis and if you ban them then not as many people would come to lake George and stores will suffer."

Quote from Paul A. Brown:
"Compared to the advent of automobiles, aircraft, motorcycles and all previous types of boats, the PWC industry is implementing and upgrading safety and environmental concerns much farther, much faster than any of the others did.  PWC safety starts at home, or with rental agencies.  Rental agencies should be required to give a minimal safety demonstration."

Quote from Alexis DeSantis:
"Jet skis are so much fun. They bring a lot of money and tourism to Lake George therefore they should not be banned."

Quote from Jackie Ross:
"I love jet skis and they are really fun just like you said! If everyone had one I'm sure they'd see another side..."

Quote from Adam Pensel:
"Why pick on jet skis because of their noise level, before they take care of the powerboats that drive by their houses at 11:00, or the Motorcycles, that I know, have woken me up several times this summer."

Quote from Catherine Tsavalas:
"... they're fun and safe and let us explore the lake more freely then a boat would allow."

Quote from Ray Schroeder:
"... many people come to Lake George with Jet Skis and even more people rent jet skis.  If the jet ski is used responsibly then it is a very fun and safe machine."

Quote from Michael Fischer:
"... I know that I give gas to many jet skis where I work. The people that give jet skis a bad name are the people that come from out-of-state and have no idea what they are doing."

Quote from Stephanie Mondella:
"Jet skis are so much fun and they have to be on Lake George, otherwise a lot of people will have them and not be able to ride them anywhere.. and they are awesome."

Quote from Matt Kruczlnicki:
"Jet skiing is fun, but unfortunately careless summer visitors tend to give the watercraft a bad name.  I think that eliminating rentals would prevent these problems, although it would hurt local businesses, it would make the lake a safer place to ride on."

Quote from Jeremy Bean:
"With PWCs being the fastest growing water activity in the country (USA), banning PWCs in any waterway would only cause hardship for any political official's career."

Quote from Gregory Allen Owens:
"Before taking drastic measures such as PWC bans, please, at least do the research to determine the real facts."

Quote from Stephen Daniel Bosco:
"I personally think this is a really stupid idea: if taken into effect this will cause a decrease in economy in the surrounding areas (i.e.. restaurants, hotels, etc.), and it will narrow the already limited areas where jet skiing is permitted."

Quote from John Reardon:
"Please don't discriminate against PWC just because a small number of special interest groups don't like them.  I hope you make your decision on sound science and common sense and not on emotion."

Quote from Steven W. Klinman:
"I come to Lake George every summer to ride my PWC as do many other people. If we can't ride there we will go elsewhere. The tourist industry will suffer significant losses."
