And from a REPUBLICAN Representative in a Winnipesaukee town.
Rep. Alida Mill ham, R-Gilford, agreed, saying that New Hampshire lawmakers are always hesitant to pass laws that impact people's freedoms, but she said certain issues reach a "tipping point" where action is necessary.

"I think New Hampshire is at that point," said Millham.

Millham said she has had two close calls while boating on the lake where speed played a part in a safety concern.


Can anyone explain why this boating Legislators opinion does not count?
So then, please enlighten us with who actually ordered and paid for the survey?

Actual speed is a matter of opinion unless being measured electronically. Not everyone can look at a vessel under way and estimate with a fair level of accuracy at what speed it is traveling. "Speed played a part in safety" does not mean that a boat was necessarily speeding. Probably an infringement of the 150' rule.

Spin away...
