Where is the money for HB-162 going to come from?

Here's a great article that should calm any fears about the cost of enforcement;

I guess if they are finding that giving warnings and only a handful of tickets based on radar readings and officer observations is good enough to make the identical law work there, we should expect to find the same here, no? Or is their water "denser" there too? And they are not spending "hundreds of thousands" on training and overtime and signs.
I've also been speaking to radar manufacturers, including Kustom, and to enforcement officials outside of Glendale, including our own SP. In fact, the basic radar training course, good enough for certification, is only 8 hours, not two weeks. Or else, they can send one officer through a two week program where he/she can then become a qualified instructor and can then train our other officers in the field, for free, while they are out on the lake protecting us and earning that salary.
And I called over to Glendale to see how many officers they have at the seacoast today...none. So those officers, who are being paid today, could be doing their 8 hour course right now and not losing a minute of protecting us.

Denser water???

Are we looking for submarines now?

BL hit it right on the head...all the other lame arguments and scare tactics did not work; discrimination against fast boaters, live fast or die, unenforcebility, ineffectiveness, bad for the economy, inability to plane, shore erosion, cancer from radar waves, etc...so now they are resorting to this latest Johnny Cochoran attempt to create a shadow of a doubt. It will not work either.
The people who own NH's lakes, by a huge margin, want speed limits on them. Woodsy and his group are in a very tiny, but very vocal, minority, who is also in the wrong, but refuses to admit that and accept the inevitable. In the end, the people of NH should have what they want on the lakes they own...reasonable and safe limits on boating speeds.

I live in MA????
