A government marine officer inspected launches on the Calumet river and fined several boat owners $200 for lacking a bell and lights. After red tape, fines were reduced to $10 and paid. Ed Petersen is the latest to receive such a notice. The system, critics say, should notify owners of requirements before fining rather than imposing confiscatory penalties.
