Let me rephrase, many voters believe what they are told, many pro sb2 people are painting a pretty picture of sb2. Now I am saying that there is a low percentage of the voters who will dig further to educate themselves. If you want you can compare this to town meeting, most voters know when it is, but what percentage (of able bodied residents who are in town that night) go! SB2 has some upside, but also has some downside!!! I wish the proponents would tell the whole story, thats all.

In general my experience with NH voters is that by & large most of them are intelligent, thoughtful, and care about their communities. SB-2 has been voted in small towns & large towns all over NH with very positive results. The citizens like it. They almost never vote it out. That's the reality of the situation. The SB-2 movement is thriving & expanding in NH because the citizens think it works better than town meeting in some cases.
You can see the same thing happening with the tax-cap movement that the city of Laconia just put in. Citizens want government to keep spending under control. There is no doubt that SB-2 will help control some of the spending issues that face our towns.
