If you're familiar at all with budget strategics, a policing entity that can show a marked increase in telephoned complaints from residents will receive more funding.

With speed limits on Winnipesaukee, ample calls will arrive at Gilford for enforcement—just what Director Barrett never wanted.

However, funds for the Marine Patrol will appear—via the complaints.
