Default Aside from the silly

This is important to know, if it happened.

This is the same guy who several years ago had off duty Mass state troopers patrolling the waters off of his property illegally keeping boaters away.


Can you provide us with evidence of this happening?

Default Presidential vacation time....

If he were elected what make anyone think of all of the places he might go (with little vacation time) is to the lake. Safe bet if it were to happen it would be a short stay!

I agree. Mitt is building a huge house in California. Once the NH primary is over it may be out of sight out of mind for Mitt, especially if he wins the presidency. My guess is that he won't be here very much.

His actions made the news in both states and had many in this area shaking our heads at his actions. It was several years ago and was a topic on the forum.

Well one thing I will be willing to bet if he becomes president: He will not go to the dump-er transfer station- in his old clothes anymore.

Nor will he be able to just pop in to the local hardware store or lumberyard.

Reply by Islander:
As I remember it, the Massachusetts State Police detail guarding the Govenor put out those lines without a permit. That is why a boat could legally enter the area.

Below is a copy of the swim line rules. Boats are not allowed in swim areas. They also require that only the shore front property owner can obtain a permit. This shows the property owner has rights to the lake that others do not have.
________________________

Saf-C 404.08 Swim Lines.

(a) No person shall operate a boat within any permitted swim line on any public body of water.

(b) No person shall put or place a swim line in the public waters of any public body of water without prior written approval of the director.

(c) An application for a swim line permit, DSSS 41, shall be submitted to the director by the shore front property owner, or a duly authorized agent.

The above is a discussion between PROPELLER and Islander in the Diver Flag thread of the boating section. It ocurred in 2005. It is the only reference I could find in the forum in a search of Romney and Police.

We won't have to be aggravated by not being able to dock in Wolfeboro while looking at the handicap dock empty. We won't be able to get by the armada blocking Wolfeboro bay.

From a private pilot's perspective, with Mitt as Prez, it won't be a good thing around the lake. Since 9/11, the Secret Service applies large area flight restrictions around the President where ever he goes.

So, I hope he's nowhere close by during the Winter Festival at Alton Bay, because there will be no Ice Runway flyin. And access in and out of Laconia Airport will likely be restricted.

In the long run if he wins it will raise property values in the area as well as the "American Spirit" and our overall standard of living in the entire country. Bring him on!

Default Perhaps an answer

Maybe the same architect that designed the Walmart Plaza in Gilford/Laconia also designed Mitt's house, and there is a corner of the property that is Alton .

Naaw. It's just the Fox (faux?) news reporters in general that don't know anything.

Default Laconia Airport and Noonans?

If Romney does become President, and there are restrictions at Laconia Airport, I wonder how this will impact the Noonans' skydiving efforts?

Is this the right thread to post this question???

During the recent campaigning, did Mitt stay at his own house at all?

Default What hapens to the lake if Romney wins?

I hate to display all my naivete at once, but I just don't think Mr Romney is the type of person who would demand a lot of "pomp and circumstance" around him when elected President; although, it may be that powers beyond his immediate control (ie., Secret Service protection details) would enact some level of isolation simply because he is the President.

A lot of people in Wolfeboro are somewhat used to seeing him at the local stores and transfer station, or bicycling in his neighborhood, or walking near his home, and he just seems like the type of person who would want to continue this pattern of behavior.

Hopefully, people would leave him alone when he is in Town.
