new speed limit public hearing Sept 25

fatlazyless · 11-08-2006, 08:30 PM

...Who knows how all these new New hampshire political changes will effect a proposed Winni speed limit? Hey - wasn't that Arnie Arnesen earlier today down at a Laconia marina checking out a super-clean 2002 Formula 32'er with an off-season price.

....Who knows, maybe come next election cycle it will be Sgambati's name, up on that big sign board, where Boyce & Benson used to be?

It's no secret that what really effects the size of the motorboat traffic is the weather and the price of gas and then, in third place, just maybe a speed limit. It's hard to estimate.....too many variables?

As I have posted in the past, I have been keeping track of the boating accidents/fatals in NH that were reported by media this year.

Not one was speed releated.

PM me if you'd like the to see for yourself.

At this point I'd venture a guess that the legislature will rely on the folks that have expertise in these matters to handle it. In this case it would be Mr. Flynn and his staff.

Considering that Senator Carl Johnson was the only Republican state senator who supported HB162 in the senate vote, it was unfortunate for him that he was unable to attend the Sept 25 petition public hearing held at the Meredith Community Center concerning a Winnipesaukee-only speed limit.

Deb Reynolds of Plymouth, his opponent for the state senate seat, was there at the hearing. I have no idea why Senator Johnson was unable to be present and understand he is deeply involved in many different official local public agencies, so he probably had an excellent reason.

Senators, Joseph Kenney and Bob Odell, both Republicans, voted in favor of HB162 too. Senators, Lou D'Allesandro and David Gottesman, both democrats, voted against HB162.
