Water Quality
Since milfoil affects the water quality everyone who benefits from higher quality water should share the burden. That includes all residents of New Hampshire who share in the tourism tax dollars. If the lakes were totally infested wouldn't tourism and the taxes generated by tourism decline?
How about the cities and towns (like Laconia) that use the New Hampshire lakes as their drinking water supply. Shouldn't they share the burden? Or is this just an idea to stick it to those that are presumed to have more money?
