[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][#000000][size 2]COLUMBUS, OH—A bill being considered in the Ohio Legislature would restrict public use of thousands of acres of Lake Erie shoreline and compromise the Great Lakes Restoration Act, while giving lakefront property owners sole access to almost all of the lake's beaches.

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][#000000][size 2]League of Ohio Sportsmen's Executive Director Larry Mitchell, Jr. says if the language in the bill is allowed to pass, anglers who want to take their family fishing on the lakeshore will be, "pushed to an increasingly smaller and smaller area."
