Wisconsin’s regulation of wake boats up to local government for now

The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board (NRB) received a long-awaited summary of rules involving wake boats at its Aug. 14 meeting, but for now the best way to regulate wake boat use seems to be through the passage of local ordinances by town or county boards.
