I think it would be lovely to have a president have a summer White House on our wonderful lake. Certainly it will get us national attention.

This is the same guy who several years ago had off duty Mass state troopers patrolling the waters off of his property illegally keeping boaters away. The waters of NH are a public right of way; we do not need over bearing arrogant politicians keeping order with their own private out of state police force.
If he was to get elected and visits the lake I think you will find a lot of unhappy inconvenienced boaters and drivers on that side of the lake.

This is important to know, if it happened.

Can you provide us with evidence of this happening?

If he were elected what make anyone think of all of the places he might go (with little vacation time) is to the lake. Safe bet if it were to happen it would be a short stay!

I agree. Mitt is building a huge house in California. Once the NH primary is over it may be out of sight out of mind for Mitt, especially if he wins the presidency. My guess is that he won't be here very much.

I remember when that happened,I think Don reposted it earlier in this thread

His actions made the news in both states and had many in this area shaking our heads at his actions. It was several years ago and was a topic on the forum.

Well one thing I will be willing to bet if he becomes president: He will not go to the dump-er transfer station- in his old clothes anymore.

Nor will he be able to just pop in to the local hardware store or lumberyard.

Reply by Islander:
As I remember it, the Massachusetts State Police detail guarding the Govenor put out those lines without a permit. That is why a boat could legally enter the area.

Below is a copy of the swim line rules. Boats are not allowed in swim areas. They also require that only the shore front property owner can obtain a permit. This shows the property owner has rights to the lake that others do not have.

Saf-C 404.08 Swim Lines.

(a) No person shall operate a boat within any permitted swim line on any public body of water.

(b) No person shall put or place a swim line in the public waters of any public body of water without prior written approval of the director.

(c) An application for a swim line permit, DSSS 41, shall be submitted to the director by the shore front property owner, or a duly authorized agent.

The above is a discussion between PROPELLER and Islander in the Diver Flag thread of the boating section. It ocurred in 2005. It is the only reference I could find in the forum in a search of Romney and Police.

We won't have to be aggravated by not being able to dock in Wolfeboro while looking at the handicap dock empty

. We won't be able to get by the armada blocking Wolfeboro bay.

From a private pilot's perspective, with Mitt as Prez, it won't be a good thing around the lake. Since 9/11, the Secret Service applies large area flight restrictions around the President where ever he goes.

So, I hope he's nowhere close by during the Winter Festival at Alton Bay, because there will be no Ice Runway flyin. And access in and out of Laconia Airport will likely be restricted.

MAXUM · 01-10-2012, 06:53 PM

Or how about the 4th of July? No fireworks?

No he said he likes to "fire" them.

Pineedles · 01-10-2012, 08:42 PM

At sometime we WILL atract his attention, and hopefully he will address our concerns.

HomeWood · 01-10-2012, 09:26 PM

It appears we are closer to possibly finding out.. He won NH.

In the long run if he wins it will raise property values in the area as well as the "American Spirit" and our overall standard of living in the entire country. Bring him on!

Greene's Basin Girl · 01-11-2012, 03:11 AM

On Fox last night they stated that Romney's summer house was in Belknap County. Do those reporter's from out of town know anything????

joey2665 · 01-11-2012, 07:08 AM

I also heard that on Fox and said the same thing to my wife.

Naaw. It's just the Fox (faux?) news reporters in general that don't know anything.

camp guy · 01-12-2012, 10:32 PM

I hate to display all my naivete at once, but I just don't think Mr Romney is the type of person who would demand a lot of "pomp and circumstance" around him when elected President; although, it may be that powers beyond his immediate control (ie., Secret Service protection details) would enact some level of isolation simply because he is the President.

A lot of people in Wolfeboro are somewhat used to seeing him at the local stores and transfer station, or bicycling in his neighborhood, or walking near his home, and he just seems like the type of person who would want to continue this pattern of behavior.

Hopefully, people would leave him alone when he is in Town.
