Hi MRJS,

I absolutely agree that a compromise is a good idea. Or at least it would have been, if the opposition had been more flexible when this all started years ago.

But after years of hearing nothing but "no limits!", a compromise has about zero chance.

The opposition told us for years that radar does not work on water. But when a radar speed study seemed to support their position, suddenly radar became completely reliable and viable.

We were told speed limits are unenforceable, a totally insane argument since they are enforced on other lakes in New Hampshire and across the country.

We are also told that nobody is speeding, and at the same time we are told that the speed limits will ruin the economy and cost a huge fortune to enforce.

At least the pro speed limit argument does not contradict itself with every breath.
