I think everyone's reading too much into it.

That being said, I'm sure the plate is directed more toward the small percentage of people that come up here from mass and other points (just so happens to be moreso from mass than anywhere else) and are disrespectful to the area--loud, arrogant, inconsiderate people who come in and act like they own the place (some of them do, but others just rent and have the same attitude) and trash everything. 90% of the people who come up are perfectly fine but it's the 10% that stick in everyone's minds.

I live on Shellcamp Pond and a majority of people here are from Mass during the late spring, summer, and early fall. Most of them are terrific guests to have in our area but there are a small percentage of them who litter and generally have a complete and utter lack of respect for the area and everything it has to offer. That's what irritates me, and it just so happens there's usually a mass plate attached to the people doing that. I'm sure there are plenty of in-staters that do the same thing but it seems few and far between.

Though the revenue generated is a good thing and helps the state overall, some people just would rather not deal with the added traffic and disturbances of the peace that often result.
