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!!

Don't group all island property owners together as supporting the law. I for one do not support it and personally have made hundreds of posts debating it over the last few years, most likely many more than you. Hazelnut is another. There are dozens of us on here debating it daily, however the bulk of the islanders supporting it are from one island, and probably in particular one end of that island.

The whole taxation bit is another issue already debated. My taxes are ridiculous and for what??? I get to dump my trash at Glendale and MAY be supported by the fire boat if in fact it could make it to me before my log home burned flat. I don't use the schools and all roads leading to my slip are state maintained. What do I pay $9k in taxes a year for, for a seasonal property???

I don't know if you remember what it was like before the seasonal property owners were r@p%d, but I do. The schools weren't that perty, and nothing much was there in many towns. Not just NH, it was a meal ticket for many areas,.
