Moultonborough PD

fatlazyless · 07-28-2009, 07:10 AM

Yesterdayès Union Leader had about a 4 paragraph report on the Saturday night 3-hour Moultonborough stop & search. It said that three arrests were made; for dui, drug possession, and transporting alcohol, plus a number of violations such as inspection stickers and registration.

I wonder about the alcohol transportation arrest and what are the specifics on this law. I do know that a CDL truck driver who is driving a Budweiser truck full of Budweiser can be arrested for having one unopened can inside the cab of the truck as opposed to in the freight van, so hows the transporting arrest workÉ.

Does anyone know if the town is reembursed for the use of our K9 officer ? We had to foot quite a bill for this "service" , dog and handler training, special features in cruiser etc... I hear about it being used in other towns but rarely in our own. What happens now that it's been in an accident, I'm sure we have insurance but does that include all the extras? Moultonborough residents need to start attending the BoS, planning and zoning meetings. You really have no idea what is happening to this town. I had to laugh at one residents remarks when Miracle Farms wen t before the board for the "wood" business at the neck road, she said she was in favor of it because the business employs locals, is she living under a rock, they import all their help!! HELLO!!! Also he kills any other small wood business trying to make a few bucks. I will say the owner is very eager to help out with fund raising, donations of time etc... but these are tough times for many in town, why do they have to have their hand in everything. Sorry too much coffee this morning, I will stop now.

Some people do care: http://moultonboroughcitizensalliance.org/. At one point the Selectmen demanded they produce a list of members, which they didn't. What does this make one think? Besides the obvious, getting out to vote, and knowing who you are voting for and what they stand for is really important

I think I've had about 40 oz of coffee too ... Stop the spending!

Yes, most people, particulary seasonal residents don't have any idea of what goes on in this little town and the little club that runs every aspect of it. The Moultonboro Citizens Alliance ( I am not a member) does list it's officers on the banner of it's website. There is also another website called Moultonboro Speaks. Both are very informative.
Correct also that hardly anyone attends selectmen meetings or school board meetings and that's a shame.

I'm guessing it probably had something to do with alcohol being in the same vehicle as minors?
Or maybe Junior Johnson was making a moonshine run from his stills in the Ossipee Range to Southern NH when he ran headlong into the checkpoint with a trunk full of White Lightning?

The thing about Moultonborough is that the tax base is so large, seasonal people may not realize the extent to which that town spends money. My taxes in Moultonborough are about equal to those in my year round house, but the Moultonborough one would sell for about 3x as much. Sounds like they've got their spending under control, right? What people may not understand is that Moultonborough's valuation is somewhere in the $3 billion range, higher than all but a handful of places in the state and most of those are much larger towns/cities.

One could start just about anywhere when talking about spending up there - from the PD which is staffed as if summer was 12 months long to the never ending parade of new fire equipment (gotta keep the Taj filled, right?) to the school which is always near the top in spending per pupil.

OK, rant over - but it felt good.

True about the tax base, but the latest valuation will be about a 1% drop in overall value that will have to be reconciled by either increasing taxes or by decreasing spending.

i am involved with MCA and feel more people should be aware of what they are trying to do. Yes, they have made mistakes which her them , but most of them don't have their own agenda. I give them alot of credit for speaking out loud what alot of us are thinking.
