Is this good news, or bad news?
Hummm,,,

Sure makes me happy that I go out of my way to register in NH to make sure that my funds are used to support boating on the waters I like to use the most,,,

My boating is split 50/50 between the Merrimack River in MA and Winnipesaukee and I always register one boat in NH even if its the only one I register that year as my expectation was that the funds went to support safe boating and public ramps in NH,,, So much for that idea,,,
