Now how many of those people pay extra taxes as a result of living around the lake? Shouldn't I get 2 votes on this HB847 issue? 1 as a resident of the State of NH whose tax dollars support all NH lakes and streams, and a second vote because I also pay even more as a result of being a resident of Meredith and having lake access and such. If I picked up my property and dropped it in Pittsburgh, NH is it worth as much? Not even close, so I am taxed more as a result of my location. Being this bill is aimed at the very lake I pay "extra" taxes to live near I want my vote counted twice as opposed to some resident who doesn't pay "extra" taxes because they live in, oh let's say, Manchester, probably within 1 mile of 814 Elm Street.
There have been no "official" polls.

No polls have been funded by WinnFABS as you know very well. The first poll was unpaid. The follow up poll was paid for by the NHLA. If you can't believe me you should be able to believe Woodsy.

However those are just facts. You can't let facts get in the way of a good joke. Let's hope you find it funny next week.
