It really was great to see so many people in attendance!
(I suspect it would have been higher if the snowmobilers realized that this issue would be facing winter speed on the lake too.

)

The moderator did a great job in regards to the speakers for and against the speed limit getting equal turns to talk.
The senators listened well and asked good questions.

In my opinion, the message that came across to the senators was that the lake is congested, mostly on the weekends, and that the 150’ safe passage law was not being obeyed. I could go on about different points of the hearing, but I think the issues have been covered well here already.

One thing I would very much like to know - how many of the supporters went over the 65 mph speed limit on the way to the hearing?

Another is why someone from Holderness, who boats on Squam – a lake that has a speed limit in place, would bother with trying to pass a limit on a lake they will not be using???

My sticker in opposition to the bill made WMUR's video. I'm almost famous?
