The arguments against the big cruisers are actually better than the arguments for a speed limit. The damage done by their large wakes is well documented and almost undeniable. The lake is a municipal water supply. Erosion is a serious problem. I can't see that the tourism issue will help the cruisers. Not many people are trailering in their Carvers for a Winnipesaukee vacation. |

I thought this was the ARG poll that was full of biased wording and only polled people in Manchester that were basically asked if they thought "safe boating" was a good idea.
More than once, myself and several others have pointed out the huge flaws in this "purchased" poll. I am very surprised that you bring it up, again. This poll was clearly a sham and this has been pointed out too many times. Pro-speed limit crowd designed it and paid for it. It was clearly a slanted poll and anyone with any sense knows it. R2B |

So is there a poll that has different results? The boating industry has deep pockets and could easily have sponsored their own poll to counter this one. Isn't it possible that the boating industry did do their own poll, but decided to keep the results under wraps? |
