The kayaker brings bottled water and a granola bar,which is not a bad thing........but doesn't do a lot for the local merchant.
I love to canoe and also have a day sailer......definately not dumping on people who don't own powerboats.Just stating the facts

Bear Islander is correct about restaurants and hotels. Go to this link then click on "Our Winnipesaukee Region Buisness Supporters". And this isn't even the updated list, I understand that list has over 400 on it.

Now here is the list that support the opposition, it's copied from the Oppose HB162 web page. Only 23 businesses, only 2 of them could be called a restaurant or hotel. But there is Nashua elevator company in there. If there is some other list I can't find it.

This idea that HB162 is bad for business is nuts.
