It seems like so many Senators (especially at the national level) forget that and are concerned more with doing the popular thing to get re-elected than doing the right thing.

12-years active duty in the Air Force......anybody know what rank he achieved....captain or major....just guessing?

It sure seems like his vote is the swing vote what with two for, and two against within the senate transportation committee. Hey, there's no rule that the full senate cannot decide to overlook the recommendation of a committee and not go along with its' recommendation.

So's locally, the two state senators with towns that border Lake Winnipesaukee, Senators Bradley and Forrester both say they support the speed limit. Have to wonder which way the third local state senator, Senator Forsythe, will be voting?
