It does feel like kind of a complicated issue in that it's a small town with a lot of non-resident traffic. They should be able to capitalize on the situation at least enough to make up the extra traffic their lake brings, and really they should be able to profit. The fact that the lake is run by Brigham City but the town has to manage the recreational use is probably a major factor. What does make the problem BS though is the amount of money they make from tickets, they write a total of tickets that is over 3X the population of the town and the revenue is over $200,000 a year from those tickets.
One thing about this particular sign issue is that if you all recall they have done the same thing before at least once in the last few years with the confusing signs, this is not a new ploy from the township of Mantua.
Why not just build a little marina/restaurant combo over there to the east along with some more parking and make money legitimately? Running the small-town extortion game so aggressively just seems like a good way to bankrupt your town when the state finally shuts the game down.
