Why is a “self-funded” state-owned ski area looking to take more money from taxpayers for such an egregious project? And how are they going to treat this new lift, considering they’ve already had three major emergency lift repairs in the past year from lack of maintenance?

Ask the following “Republican” state senators, who are sponsoring SB 55, why our tax dollars should be funding this wasteful project:
Gendreau (R), Jeb Bradley (R), Lang (R), Avard (R), Carson (R),

SB 55 goes before the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday afternoon.  You can register your opinion here:  https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/remotecommittee/senate.aspx

And e-mail the committee here:  James.Gray@leg.state.nh.us; Daniel.Innis@leg.state.nh.us; Regina.Birdsell@leg.state.nh.us; Howard.Pearl@leg.state.nh.us; Jeb.Bradley@leg.state.nh.us; Cindy.Rosenwald@leg.state.nh.us; Lou.Dallesandro@leg.state.nh.us; debra.martone@leg.state.nh.us
