I actually was the one who called WMUR and convinced them to do the story last week. I did it because I called the governors’ office and was really upset with their reaction to this situation. Our lake is getting trashed. Our docks are taking on damage and people are ignoring the No Wake. Their response was that our Governor wants “Everyone to enjoy beautiful NH”. When I pressed about the situation and reminded them that there are plenty of taxpayers suffering , they directed me to marine patrol or wetlands. They actually said it was the MP fault things were out of control on the lake. I told the woman that the Governor is putting the MP in a no win situation.
Basically he is passing the buck and not dealing with the situation. I heard him speak at a business dinner and was embarrassed that he represents our state. Here he has a room full of business people trying to make his state better and tells stupid irrelevant canned stores he probably gives to the girl scouts. He was supposed to present an award to the fastest growing business in the state and he walked out just before the ceremony. Everyone should call the governors’ office (603)271-2121 and let him know how unhappy we all are.
The guy is hiding behind his desk with a stupid “no decision” on the lake level. Tell him to be a man and address the issue and at least have a response. Tell him to explain to all of us why he did what he did and what he plans to rectify the situation. Tell him to open the dam!

One would hope that highly qualified people are in charge of such things and have taken all the consequences of their actions into consideration when making their decisions. I seriously doubt the decision to set the lake outflow is made randomly, or at the Governer's level. I honestly hope he does not meddle with such affairs since he's quite likely not qualified. Managing nature has never been easy or wildly successful; the last person I'd want to even try would be a politician. Well, maybe not the last person, but close.
