Township of Governor's Island, N.H.?

I agree we should be treated as residents for such things as fishing licenses and snowmobile registrations. But that's a state, not a town issue. Show me the state rep that will lift his/her pinkie for a non-resident/non-voter. I will say, Gilford treats it's (non bridged) island residents better than any other town on the lake. Partly because there are a surprising number of islanders who are also full time mainland Gilford residents, partly out of longstanding tradition, but mostly because Gilford islanders are organized and proactive on town issues that impact them. Perhaps Gilford needs a non resident taxpayer association to consolidate issues and bring a better voice to the discussion. Equally true for other towns around the lake.
