they do it on old hickory.. We're finally starting to get some milfoil back so I figure they'll get rid of it here in the next couple years again, sure hope not though

What kind of grass they spraying? Aquatic weeds or the stuff that grows on the edge of the water that always holds largemouth?

the grass around their docks that gets around props and keeps kids from swimming and stuff. i see both sides of the argument.

I imagine milfoil. I personally have a love hate relationship with the stuff. Its great when there is the right amount in the water. I have seen it grow out of control on Ky Lake at times and seen it where it choked out entire coves and unless you are willing to fish ledges or grass mats you have no where to fish. It seems like when we experience a drought is when it really gets bad and grows out of control.
