Let's wait and see what Dept of Safety Secretary Flynn has to say about the Winnipesaukee-only speed limit petition which is currently awaiting his decision.

Certainly more likely than it was before, but perhaps not a whole lot. If the newly elected Senators vote on party lines (and 5 out of the 24 incumbents did not vote the party line on HB162 so it's really impossible to predict (for instance: Bruce Heald, a huge proponent of speed limits, is a Republican) but lets have a little fun...), it's presently 11 against the speed limit and 12 for it. I have no results for Disctrict 21. If Estabrook wins (did she even run again???), it goes 11 against and 13 for, if she loses, it goes 12 and 12.
With any luck, common sense will again prevail. I have little faith though.
