There are a hundreds of other lakes in NH and they don't have an MP office building on the shore. The MP is always on patrol on the big lake and their dock would still allow this. The on-duty officers would start their shift when they arrived at their boat, no loss of water time.

There is no practical reason to build the clerical functions of the MP on the waterfront.

Let's face it, the number one goal of government is to use taxes to buy votes. $7.8 million buys a lot of votes.
