Hi RG,

Yes, I think LI received the response he was looking for given the question he posed to the NHMP: "...So I have sent a note to the Marine Patrol to find out if they started removing the markers earlier then normal this year. As well I asked for any information they could provide as too the normal plan of record as to when the lighted markers should be availble both before and after the summer boating season..."

It appears that your (and a number of others) understandable concern of why the markers are removed by that date and not later in the season is a second but just as important inquiry.

Remember, you are dealing with a government entity. Personnel are trained to only answer the question as posed, and then only if they have authority to do so. The lower you make your contact on the organizational ladder the less chance you have of an employee expanding on a response.

You pose an excellent question. I do hope you contact the NHMP direct and share your response with all. I do believe that your particular question will require the response of a supervisor, someone like Lt. Tim Dunleavy or you may be referred directly to the Director's Office.

I saluted LI for taking the effort and posing his question directly to the agency, then sharing the information gathered.

Hopefully he has started a trend!
