I don't necessarily agree. Laws regulating large trucks would potentially affect everyone on the road depending on the type of law. Casino gambling as well would affect all as it can change many things to do with our society.

Some voter in Manchester who has never been on a boat on Winnipesaukee and never will , and who have no knowledge of boating really is not an important opinion in my view. Regulating boating laws on Winnipesaukee has a much tighter circle of effect.
