Where is the money for HB-162 going to come from?

Bear Islander is wrong about (most) restaurants and hotels supportingHB-162.The fact is that owners of GF boats, as you refer to them, are mostly affluent.They eat out a lot,put up friends and family in local hotels and shop in our stores. Did you ever see a kayaker pull up to the Meredith docks with a party of 8 and go for dinner at one of the local restaurants, drop a few hundred bucks at Mills Falls and then buy $300 worth of gas on the way out? The kayaker brings bottled water and a granola bar,which is not a bad thing........but doesn't do a lot for the local merchant.
I love to canoe and also have a day sailer......definately not dumping on people who don't own powerboats.Just stating the facts
