It's in there.

The NHMP is not an expert in telling us what the citizens wanted and how satisfied they are with what they got. Why not just ask the citizens? I'm guessing that there will be another poll by the time the bill is ready for a vote that will show how NH's citizens feel about the speed limit. And you guys can show them your self-poll where you asked yourselves what you thought.

Exactly as I said. The NMSL was put into place in '74 to address the '73 oil embargo. It reduced any exisiting speed limit that was above 55 to 55, to save fuel. Did you think that we did not have speed limits before that and that this was the start of speed limits in our country?

That sounds wise. It would not have been good for your cause to have a guy show up and say "I'm a law-breaker and here's how I feel".

You should go to some of the Planning board hearings. Some of the things he ask for zoning changes. And you say he wants to change the lake to 'Golden Pond'? His establishment is an eye sore if you ask me............... The only Golden egg he wants to protect is his own.

We must be talking about a different thing. Who are you talking about?

Your boat would be just fine on Winnipesaukee now, except on the Broads during windy days. I have a small bowrider that has suddenly become plenty big enough. I know Merrymeeting well, and Winni is much like Merrymeeting now. And while many had lost their enjoyment of Winni in recent years, they are finding it to be a much better place now. I say this in all sincerity. I know you have been posting as an "anti", but if you give Winnipesaukee's new-found civility a chance, I'm sure you will come around quickly. You do not need a 30-ft boat to feel safe on Winni anymore.

We all own property that used to belong to someone else...and they had to sell it for one reason or another...and we had enough to buy it...and we can build whatever we want on it, within the law, once we own it. This is America. Maybe Obama can help you get it back from those "fat cats".

I would love to come so long as it is not at one of those places that opposed the SL. Most of those places are so seedy that I have to burn my clothes afterward. Let's meet at one of the area's more respectable establishments, like Church Landing.

On second thought...
