I know some are tired of the discussion about HB162 but I think this is important so I want to look at this from a different angle.

I don't know about everyone else but I do not want my legislators voting for or against bills based on peoples opinion, emotion, what they hear through the grapevine or what they read in the newspaper. I vote for my legislators to pass laws based on documented evidence to prove there is an issue that needs to be adressed. Isn't that what we want our legislators to do no matter what the issue?

Collisions are not occurring on Winnipesaukee above or below the proposed speed limits of HB162(except 1 in Meredith). Maybe some boats are bumping others tied up at the public docks but thats irrelevant with respect to HB162 for obvious reasons.

If the legislators who represent me in Concord are making decisions based on peoples opinion, what their friends told them, what they read in the newspaper then I will not be voting for them in the next election.
