Quote about HB162 from Harold C. Lyon Jr. Ph.D.:
Quote:

As a 65-year veteran of fishing on Lake Winnipesaukee and author of a popular book, “ANGLING IN THE SMILE OF THE GREAT SPIRIT – Six Centuries of Wisdom from the Master Anglers of Lake Winnipesaukee,” I’m concerned about making our lakes and rivers safer for anglers, our families and all the people who enjoy New Hampshire’s water bodies.

Does Dr. Lyon secretly just hate hi-performance boats and his statement is just a "veil"? Since you think that the rest of us are lying about our motives is Dr. Lyon also a liar?
Interesting that there has been no response except mine to his very well written letter. Are those crickets I hear?
Another excerpt from Dr. Lyon's letter:
Quote:
Over 200 business owners have supported the 45/25 mph boating speed limits effort out of concern about the potential negative impact excessive boating speeds may have on New Hampshire tourism, safety and balance of use on our State’s lakes and possibly their businesses.
Close to a dozen marinas are now in support of this bill, too, as they realize that the future of their sustainable boating business is families, just as family-centered tourism is the heart of New Hampshire’s image and economy.

His comments are hard to dismiss.
