HB-847 - The Fiscal Issue - Where do We get the $$?

If you live in the Lakes Region and want an informed insider's opinion on what's up with HB 847, then go take a drive to Lakeport in Laconia. At the newly enlarged HK Motorsports, there's Republican minority leader, State Rep Mike Whalley of Alton, and at nearby Irwin Marine, there's John Irwin Jr., president of the New Hampshire Marine Trades Assoc. They're a couple of terrific guys;, hardworking, dedicated, community leaders who would no doubt be happy to share their opinions with you about HB 847.

What information do you think they would have to tell you tomorrow, on Tuesday, Feb 22?

So, I just sent old GW an email, and he answered back and says that the answer to all of Winnipesaukee's problems is 'the 14' Alumacraft rowboat equipped with an Evinrude 15hp' and that is what President George Washington says in his email.....everyone except for himself must use that Alumacraft Evinrude combo.....President Washington wants a 47' Fountain w/ three 600hp MerCruisers......geeez....I don't know.....and wasn't

Jefferson was a founder of what today is the Democratic Party. Washington came before that and was not a member of a political party. Clay started the Whigs later. Of course Jefferson would never recognize the current party that evolved from his party. From wikipedia "The party insisted on a strict construction of the Constitution... The party promoted states' rights ...the party opposed such Federalist policies as high tariffs...

The numbers show that MORE THAN 99% of the boaters on Lake Winnipesaukee did not exceed 45 miles an hour even though there is currently NO SPEED LIMIT!

************************************************** *****************************
Guess what, at our lakefront cottage we have a total of 3 boats, and over the years their has been numerous others, but just for now lets say we have three boats, None of them will do over 45 miles an hour.

I really wonder how many boats on the lake will actually do 45 miles per hour. That and then how many of them are making them go 45 miles per hour? and for how long? perhaps between gas pumps!

I would hazzard a guess that perhaps 75% of the boats on Winni9pesaukee will not do 45 miles per hour going down hill!

The over 99% of boaters was taken from the MP report of which I provided a link to.

The actual percentage was 99.1% and it was in response to a post in which I agreed with Bear Islander. His statement was that most people are law abiding and I added the word "reasonable" given that 99% of the boats were clocked at under 45MPH thus proving no additional law is required.

So I would venture to say if you are representative of a lakefront owner with boats and none of your boats will do over 45 miles an hour then it makes the case even further that a speed limit is not needed.
