Portsmouth, not the Weirs. International airport, deep water port, scenic location, easy access to I-95 and under an hour from Portland, Boston and the lake, but not on it. Why we continue to ship bus-loads of gamblers and dollars to Southeastern Connecticut, or fly them to Vegas, rather than making NH a Canadian air and three-day Atlantic cruise destination for those dollars is beyond me.

And what do we do with the "revenue" (although I hate the thought of the "government" thinking it needs to be a profit center...)? We do exactly what Governor Palin did for the residents of Alaska: Write the profit-sharing checks back to the residents and cut their taxes.
