I live here year round all my life and I like the way NH is now. I don't like the way it is becoming. A metropolis of the Southerners who move up here.

I suggest you stay in Florida if you like it so much done there.

Don't tell me what I can do in my backyard.

This just reminded me of a well known ordinance in Norfolk, Virginia. (Circa 1963) It's called "Drinking in Public" and is NOT tolerated. Having a beer in your own backyard is a No No. If someone can see you doing it..You are in Violation of the law. and will be sited. NB

Right! That kind of Nanny law is wrong. Do we want to return to these same kind of laws? Resist the feel good laws. If someone tries to setup their own utopia by enacting laws that they think make their life better, eventually someone will make a law that objects to you enjoying your life. It all comes down to the following:

Be careful what you wish for.

"State House Dome: Bariatric Surgery, Winni limits ripe for veto"


So, how come no opinions or comments on this headline and opinion article by the long time Union Leader political columnist, Tom Fahey?

This article was probably written the day before the June 15 Diamond Island smash-up took place and the newspaper probably hit the streets of New Hampshire about the same time that Erica's Formula hit the granite ledge on Diamond Island.

What could Gov Lynch have been thinking at the time in terms for a reason to veto the Winni speed limits? He had previously opposed a NH mandatory seat belt law for adults age 18+ and that seat belt bill never made it through the senate, but did make it through the house.

Have to wonder which way the Gov would have gone? Only he knows and he's not talking! Just have to wait 15-years till he writes his autobiography titled "The Long Serve: NH's Longest Serving Gov'nor" to get the real-deal inside story on his Winni speed limits veto......except for a certain unexpected event?

Default why bother

First of all FLL, it isn't a headline. It is Mr. Fahey's opinion...I have mine as well and it is worth no more than his. Second, there are those who post on this forum that frequently submit their opinion to the local news rags and them claim such as facts. Are you too, attempting to use a local opinionists views as fact?

Pathetic, really.
