The define our customer has been clearly made. We just need the town leadership to do the work we taxpayers pay them for. The majority of homeowners and tax payers of Laconia don’t want day trippers to overrun the beaches with their trash, play loud music and pollute the water we drink. If the day trippers don’t feel welcome with our signs, they can stay home and trash their own place.
I am sure there are folks who will still come that share our values and will not be offended by a few signs. Meanwhile, I bet these folks will be more likely to buy lunch or dinner at one of the local restaurants.
What it comes down to, do you want to keep one business that sells disposable charcoal grills happy or bring in outside clientele who will open up their wallets and visit one of the many local restaurants?
