There's been an interesting confluence of threads here at the Forum: Noise trespass, Rudeness Trespass, and Pollution.
It seems that NH's olde approach to "
The
People's
Right to
Bother
Residents" will need
reappraisal -- just like the recent taxing/hosing of lakefront property on Winnipesaukee.
1) The MPs are testing noise [pollution] off Timber Island. (But what's to keep the few offenders that were
actually ticketed from reinstalling the required quieting muffler portions temporarily?)
2) "Reasonableness", it seems, has been bulldozed right up to the beaches at Timber Island (by
Sschaar, Belmont Resident, among others.)
Can't say
I'm surprised...in fact, it was inevitable -- given the swelling numbers of Big Boaters and rack-boaters. (I called "rack-boaters", "
demand-boaters" a couple of years ago here. Looks like still another term for the same thing, "
valet-boater" has taken a nasty "Entitlement" turn).

Union-Leader, today:
"Real solutions to unnecessary pollution have been offered, but the
well-connected polluters have flexed their muscles with New Hampshire House and Senate leadership again and again to defeat the proposals.
"...it’s time to elect people who will work to reclaim our air
and water.
Environmental degradation has gotten a lot worse in recent years. Thanks to short-sighted current policies, pollution...
"But in terms of New Hampshire polluters taking
personal responsibility for the pollution they cause, that has yet to happen...preventable pollution is spewed out every day. This November, let’s make sure we elect legislators whose priority is to protect us,
not the polluters profits.
You didn't read the article, I guess:

Lobbyist pressure groups is what I mean when I say that "New Hampshire Needs to
Fix New Hampshire."
