Closure of Camp Bay access is criminal

| November 7, 2023 1:00 AM

The closure of the Camp Bay Road public lake access is a crime. 

The public waterfront at Camp Bay is being stolen from the people of Bonner County. This backroom deal was made in the shadows by officials with major conflict of interest. Now, the commissioners continue to act in a dictatorial manner by refusing to allow the access issue to be reopened.

The Camp Bay public access has a market value in the tens of millions of dollars. This public boat launch, ferry terminal, fishing spot and beach is of immeasurable public value for years to come. The claim that this access is only "50 feet" in width cannot accord with the historical record. Everyone in Bonner County is witnessing the truth about "our democracy" with this illegal and immoral gift to private interests.
