I wanted my vote against HB847 counted twice!

The so called official poll that may or may not have been funded by winncrabs (love that moniker and so I use it) was alledgedly supposed to be a man on the street type of questionaire to get the "pulse" of NH residents about speed limits in Winnipesaukee. 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.
