Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

It's basically a free form of political protest, so it won't cost taxpayers a dime unless the feds decide to get petty with funding.

✅Who benefits

Local politicians get an easy PR win by standing up to the feds, and residents who like things the way they are keep their familiar lake name.
