"N.H. among worst for boating accidents"

If that's the case, maybe they should be taxed, not just on their "land" property but now, on the "water" property also. Imagine that, 71 square miles of untapped property tax revenue!! THAT should solve our school funding problem!!

Not all island property owners supported the speed limit. I know several (including myself) that fought hard against it. I also know plenty of mainland property owners who supported it. I will also fight hard against any bill that imposes any more restrictions on any use of Winnipesaukee. Please don't paint with such a broad brush - not all of us want to be associated with the speed limit crowd.

I apologize, Seaplane Pilot, I do realize that not all of the island property owners support HB-847 just as not all mainland property owners argued against it. I wrote that tongue-in-cheek, hence the laughing face after my comment. It was not my intent to anger anyone, I just thought I'd poke some fun at the situation.
