Tyler,
In fact, all that information and data is already there, right in MP's files. It's just a matter of getting him to look for it. Mr. Barrett is a very intelligent fellow, I have dealt with him before. I'm sure that once he sees we are all working together he will be more than agreeable to cooperate with us. For instance, we can point out the two accidents last year involving boats travelling alone at high speed and losing control on Winnipesaukee. The information is all right in MP's files, but they have had these accidents mis-filed as "operator error" because there was no speeding violation to cite at that time. That's why the Director mistakenly said there have not been any recent speed-related accidents. All we have to do is show him where to find them. Every year has had at least a few accidents like this. I will print out articles from the Citizen's on-line archives and when we get there we can dig out the relevant MP files to show him how many speed-related incidents have been mis-categorized. I appreciate your cooperation with this and look forward to working with you.
Frank
