Many of the people in the lake's region had been trying to improve the situation for a long time and gave Winnfabs their support, wrote their legislators, went to hearings, and sent letters to the editor. All any legislator has to do is be alive to know about Winnipesaukee's reputation. People from all over comment all the time on the lake's cowboy reputation. People on other lakes in other states have acted accordingly for a better lake experience and fortunately their legislators listened too. I can't imagine people made such a fuss about loss of liberty, wool being pulled over legislator's eyes, etc. when speed limits on roads were enacted.

Sunset as you know I fully respect your posts. Thats no secret, even though we disagree.. but to compare speed limits to the roads is an extreme to say the least. when you are traveling at high rates of speed less then 5 feet from other motorists next to you then of course there needs to be limits. When you are alone in an area as wide open as the broads to draw a parallel between the two is a far stretch to say the least (no pun intended
