Laconia Prison and the State Budget

Lynch was interviewed on TV. I read "between the lines" that his hint was the liquor stores at rest areas are not good profit centers. Makes sense: move them to malls where food stores are. OFF the highways. At rest areas, the state could rent the space to food concessions & sit-down areas, revamp the buildings with "information", making them more than a path to the restrooms. I never understood why a liquor store on an interstate northbound is a part of "welcome to New Hampshire"! Did Prez Eisnehower have this in mind when his administration designed the interstate highway system?

Lynch's actions were so unnecessary when EZ Pass was about to be implemented. Too long to write. If he makes changes to pass-holder costs, I'll go back to an account in another state; I will gain a no-charge transponder, and my only loss will be the discount at NH tolls. I reside in NH and used to have a NY account. My brother lives in MA and has had an account yet another state!
