“But it will become their problem as local taxes are raise to cover clean up costs.”

While I agree with you, the idea of higher taxes is remote and abstract compared with a cranky wife and whiney kids. The one is a potential in the future while the other is real and immediate.

But will they, though? Aren't most lakes ecosystems handled by the State parks departments? Maybe some owned by county or big cities as municipal water supply, but doesn't the State still handle most recreational and nature-related stuff on the Lakes? But yes, even if local taxes do go up some, people are much more likely to attribute it to schools or police, than they are to anything else.
