This is a response to Senator Gary Schroeder's recent effort to allow 
sewage to continue to flow into the waters of our lakes and rivers.
As a former resident of Harrison on Lake Coeur d' Alene, I take serious 
umbrage with Gary Schroeder's initiative to allow "cabins" on the lake, 
and for that matter, residences anywhere in our state, to continue 
discharging sewage into the lake and/or waterways of Idaho. I have seen 
the discharge pipes running into the lake fouling our waters, all for 
the summer pleasure of those wealthy enough to afford second houses.  
Senator Schroeder shows his bias for the privileged class with this 
action.
Many groups around the world work to provide education in the third 
world about keeping sewage out of drinking water. This is an effort to 
stem cholera outbreaks and the spread of other diseases. Now here, in 
what can be described as some of the most concentrated displays of 
wealth in the region, we cannot get people who have the funds to 
remodel, or put on additions to second homes, to upgrade their sewage 
systems.
Remember while your sewage flows downstream and out of your concern, 
those upstream are doing the same. Yuck Senator Schroeder, SR 114 reeks 
of special interest sewage.
