I don’t have a Facebook account, and I don’t know if you have to live in his district to sign it. He is trying to get the golf course / boat launch restrictions lifted.

Just thought I would pass it on.

NEW YORK, N.Y. — The New York City Department of Environmental Protection said Friday, April 17, that it has delayed the start of its recreational boating season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The season, which was scheduled to begin May 1, is to be postponed until Memorial Day weekend, on Saturday, May 23. The city agency, following guidance from health experts and government leaders, could postpone the opening even longer.

The recreational boating season allows for canoes and kayaks to be used in four of the New York City reservoirs in the Catskills: Neversink, Cannonsville, Pepacton and Schoharie.

If this shut down goes deep into the summer, the striper population will increase and also the overall fishing on Lake O will too in 2021. Alot of fish get kept on charters especially on lake o an the sound

Glasco and Malden are open. Just signs to boaters saying all occupants should be from same household.

Wonder if all people on the subway are from the same house hold or everyone driving around with passengers in there cars are from the same house hold. They have no right to enforce this bulloooo. Not only are states going to be broke from the corona virus but there will be thousands of law suits from small business owners.

I was told by the dutchess county leaders that the marinas are closed because they do not want to have to respond to an emergency on the river.So I guess they will not be checking boats for drunk boaters or enforcing any of the rules on the river.What a bunch of BS.
