The Marine Patrol speed stats have not changed much over the years of data collection . . .this includes before the 45/30 speed limits

The lake is way more congested than it was 20 years ago. Increasing the SL to 65 MPH is reckless and short sighted. And as far as support for 45/30 is concerned, 80% of NH reps supported the bill a decade ago that made 45/30 law, with an even higher percentage of reps from towns bordering the lake in support. As said, this bill is doomed with the potential for its sponsor to be a laughing stock.

Just go back and read the article from 2018....Same S***, different day.

Lose the speed limit - the world will not end, the icebergs will not melt, the oceans won't rise and Al Gore will still be a moron.

It is more congested.
But for the reps not attached to the lake... I think it is the visual.

Bordes represents a community that is attached to Lake Winnipesaukee... but has other more prominent issues. Obviously he can do more than one thing at time, but if he only sponsors bills on this issue, it may not go as well for the next round.

Trottier is my rep. Belmont is not attached to Lake Winnipesaukee, so questions as to his position have and are arising. When local Republicans are looking for primary opponents every cycle, it questions whether a representative can explain in a comprehensible manner of the value to their constituency.

I think Sylvia learned that explaining a position is pertinent. Even O'Hara is now being questioned about if the demand for transparency was just political expedience. Hopefully he will press the issue and become what the town needs.... competent honest representation.
