The Meredith News Editorial AGAINST speed limit

It seems there has been a change in staff over at The Meredith News. The informative, accurate, well written editorial

speaks out against the speed limit on the lake. I provide a link here but the site requires a subscription. http://www.meredithnhnews.com/ (scroll to bottom for beginning of editorial)

Anyway, the editorial speaks of a "solution looking for a problem" and discusses the unenforceability of the law. It also advocates for an "initiative to actually enforce laws that are already in effect;" as a more effective safety measure than an ill conceived (my words) speed limit.

The editorial points out the bill's precarious situation due to the fact that Gov. Lynch has said he may not sign it into law. I don't trust that Gov. Lynch will not sign the bill. The paranoid side of me thinks that this may be a ploy to get the Senate to pass the buck, hoping that the Gov. will not sign the bill if it gets to him, taking the political heat. I think the Gov. will sign the bill if he gets it and I urge the Senate to defeat this bill when they get it.

Good paper that Meredith News, lots of local stories......
