In yesterday's Laconia Sun, there was a big front page headline article about the speed limits, HB162 bill, now in the Senate and how it could be sunk. The Laconia Sun is a freebie give-a-way paper that keeps getting bigger and better with more advertisers, more classified ads, and good local articles and good writers. As far as I know, it's not on the internet.

One thing it said was that the chairman of the Transportation Committee, (forgot 1st name) LeTourneau,(R) of Derry when asked how he will vote responded by saying 'look at my record.' It said he is a biker who voted against seatbelts, and motorcycle helmets.

Also, Sen Robert Boyce(R) Alton is against speed limits. And Sen Joseph Kenney(R) Upton who represents Wolfboro, Tuftonboro, Moultonboro is undecided.

A public hearing will be held in Rm 100, which is not a large venue, in the State House and did not say when.

The article went into a lot more 'ins & outs' of the poltical details about HB162 and overall made it sound like it will get sunk by the Senate which is 16 Republicans and 8 Democrats.
