Alarming Requests Ensure Tax Dollars Wasted and Freedoms Lost

People who have no idea how much freedom they will have lost if they get these items in place are making ‘demands’ as if these things come free. They do not. If Regional Planners are able to convince people that these ideas originated from the community, they will have the authority to implement their pre-determined ‘plans’. If this doesn’t spur you into action what will?

Here are some of the comments from the GSF public comment input page; some even asked for income taxes or more taxes (although most asked for less)!

“Public transportation would make this area better” – Andover
“I’d like to see more public transit (year-round on roads, seasonal around Lake Winnipesaukee)” – Meredith
“I’d like to see better public transportation options for commuters to Boston/south.” – Hudson
“Free townwide Wi-Fi broadband internet, composting pick up / delivery service.” – Unsigned
“Land bank – For all sales a percentage went to keep it natural! No McMansions” – Unsigned
“1. Commuter bus service from New London P&R to Concord and Lebanon (along I-89 corridor)! 2. More political/financial support for things like libraries, arts and culture. 3. More political/financial support for things like walkable communities, local agriculture businesses, and climate change adaptation that make our communities more resilient. 4. Economic development programs that focus more on retaining and supporting existing businesses than attracting ever more commercial development. 5. Less complaining about taxes and more reform to make them more equitable. Taxes can be a good thing – we all share in the benefits”. – Sunapee
“Make more electric cars so the world can be a better place so you don’t pollute the air.” – Newmarket
“The objective for the Great North Woods should be to bring its great expanse of unpopulated space into public ownership as the Great North Woods National Forest.” – Pittsburgh
“More land permanently conserved, more concentrated housing. More transportation options.” – Barrington
“Income taxes, Affordable housing.” – Keene
“…better schools. Institute appropriate taxes for above.” – Deerfield
“Railroad to Boston.” – Merrimack

And this hilarious suggestion that a new school be built without any taxes for it:
“A new high school (without adding to our taxes – budget money better and don’t look to residents for what a City/Government does supply)” – Pelham
