Dear Editor:As Lake Parsippany residents prepare for the upcoming LPPOA (Lake Parsippany Property Owners Association) board elections this September, we face an important question: what will it take to preserve and restore the lake? Full lake members, those who actively use the lake, would contribute at a higher cost and retain voting rights on lake management issues. Lake Parsippany should consider similar approaches to ensure that those who actively swim, fish, boat, and invest in the lake have a meaningful voice in its stewardship. The President that is elected will determine whether future generations inherit a thriving Lake Parsippany or know it only through photographs, memories, and stories of what once existed here. Let’s keep the “Lake” in Lake Parsippany.
