Who should fund the fight against milfoil?
A plan has been proposed to clean Lake Minnetonka, but should lakeshore owners bear the cost or should others share the burden? ... As with street assessments, some lakeshore owners have questioned the idea that property owners should bear the cost of improving a resource many people use. At a meeting this week, homeowners asked if people who own boat slips -- many of them in Gray's Bay -- would be considered property owners. Richard Gay, who has lived on Carman Bay for 10 years, suggested that all boaters who use the lake should pay for milfoil treatments through an annual fee. "There needs to be some kind of equity," he said.
