Immediate action to save our lakes

Full story: Berkshire Eagle

The threat of a Zebra Mussel infestation in one or more lakes in Berkshire County has been known to local and state officials for at least three years so that the discovery of the scourge at Laurel Lake in Lee should not have surprised them.

Muscle the Mussels

Just keep dumping more poison in the lakes to kill the weeds. Never mind the thousands of fish that float to the surface and line the shores, after the chemicals have been dumped in. Just keep eating the fish that ingest those chemicals and telling the public that the poison has nothing to do with the fish dying.
That never bothered the officials or the people who claim to want to save the
Berkshire county lakes before, so why panic now?
Those mussels could have come in on the bottom of a kayak or a tube or even a ski rope. No way of telling.
Several lakes in Vt. are full of them.

No lake has been lost yet?

Did you misplace a lake we do not know about?

The answer obviously is to increase the budget of MA DEP and of MA Fisheries and Wildlife to a billion or so dollars.
Also, send Smitty Pignatelli and Ben Downing overseas on a $50,000 state-paid-for junket to attend the next Zebra Mussels eradication conference in Fiji, Tahiti, or Bangkok.
Better yet, Gov. Patrick should raise the state sales tax to 8.5% to take into account this new 'threat' to the environment (after, of course, Carbon Dioxide 'pollution').
Thank goodness our Liberal Democrat politicians are protecting us and looking out for our best interests, and the best interests of our water bodies.
