AC2717 · 11-22-2010, 08:56 PM

Here is one major problem
the town's control the land and the lake is controlled by the State

you cannot really make it a fee on something because people could choose not to do what the fee would be on, such as boat registration and the like

Millfoil is a problem and yes as a waterfront owner I do not want it taking over the lake.

How bout a review of the state's budget as ALL the Lakes provide income for the state and towns as far as toursim goes. Just as a city like Boston works with the State (and yes I cannot believe I am saying this but it is true) to Preserve city's landmarks to bring in the toursim. Yes that comes from taxes and what not, but the point is how its done

So, since I cannot vote in NH and my voice can fall on deaf ears, can someone please propose a budget review and allocation of funds. I do not know about the rest of you, but when I have an added expense I review spending as a whole and see if I can afford it and then where I can cut on other ends, I just simply cannot go to the bank (the taxpayers) and take more out

Sorry off the soap box now
