Our Accomplishments

Defeat of Proposed Permit System Rule Changes

Through the efforts of the SPC and GSLA Governor Patterson stopped the proposed rule changes that would have altered the way we enjoy the lake. 

Restoration of Exclusive Use Permits

The SPC and its attorneys succeeded in preventing the 129 miles of shoreline becoming public by restoring the exclusive use language on the permits and beach signs. 

Niagara Mohawk (National Grid) Lawsuit

The SPC and its attorneys prevented Niagara Mohawk from getting the permit system declared illegal—for their own financial benefit. 


The SPC persuaded the HRBRRD to drop a proposal to allow adjustments to the current permit boundaries. 

Local Representation on the HRBRRD board

The SPC identifies, reviews and recommends qualified candidates to the HRBRRD board. 

Legislative Effort to Abolish the HRBRRD

The SPC, its attorneys and lobbyists fight continuing legislative proposals that would abolish the HRBRRD, thus reducing local input to the board.

Beneficiary Studies

The SPC has and continues to monitor who is to be classified as a beneficiary and to what extent to protect permit holders from unfair assessments.
