And what would be "common sense" to 180 summer camp directors? Hmmm?
Actually, it was only in the closing week that I thought the bill didn't look so good. I'd bumped into a politically-well-connected gentleman from Rye, who said that New Hampshire was "fiscally conservative" but "socially libertarian". He didn't give the bill much of a chance. Yesterday's split, 193-139, said otherwise.
As to banning cruisers, what precedent exists for such a law?
Lake speed limits have been in effect all over for ages—even smaller New Hampshire lakes: I'm unaware of cruiser banning—anywhere.
Boy, are the go-fasts mad "over
there". They want to know where the supporters live on the lake, so they can make their lives miserable!
LG: Winnipesaukee boaters were "Home of the Brave"
last year—thousands of us—as you just stated. There's less reason to be "brave" now.
