Do you think this is a needless perk considering they already get paid $100?
More seriously, what effect would you have a privately manged Cannon having on the local competition?

Fortunately, my State Senators have been in favor of putting the state ahead of their perks.

I imagine things will be louder when a separate bill is introduced this winter.
Meh. I imagine that as long as Lynch is in office it will not happen once again. They have bigger priorities. If Cannon was losing lots of money, then maybe. But he is opposed to the lease.
And looks like folks are using the ski trails in the off-season. From Cannon's FB page:

You're overestimating the power of the Governor in a state that has a Republican House, Senate, and Executive Council.

Also, Cannon is costing the state millions of dollars. In FY11, for instance, Cannon is forecasting a $1M operating "profit." The operating profit doesn't include $0.5M of Cannon capital account debt payments and $1.5M of state capital account spending in FY11, nor does it include an estimated depreciation expense of $300K.
Not only that, but DRED is preparing to ask the state for $6.5M in additional Cannon state capital spending in the next few years, in addition to more Cannon capital account debt spending.
New Hampshire can't afford to be in the ski business anymore.

but they can afford a 14.5M bath house and concert stage at Hampton Beach????
checked it out this past weekend. going to be awesome. North bathrooms are already done. Nicer bathrooms than I've seen at any beach I've ever been to.

I suspect if the $14.5M had requested during this legislative session, it would have been rejected.
The new budget looks to be a double digit percentage cut.

Good thing they aren't respected figures in the hiking community.

Ah, so it's okay to hang-glide off the ski trails at Cannon, but it's dangerous and environmentally bad to walk on them?
I'd imagine you and all of your respected hiking community friends are outraged. Have you drafted a letter to JD over this evidence of blatant discrimination posted on their facebook page?

You hang out in public bathrooms or just cruizin' through? Spending too much time in a public restroom can land you in a heap of trouble.
Watch the stance.:razz:
If some stranger leans over next to you at the urinal and says "Nice Watch", it might be me

In all seriousness this might be a sign that the policy is no more.

As of yesterday afternoon, the signs are still up, so the policy is still very much in effect.
Why not write JD and ask what's up?
+ 1. Can't hurt. With all the attention to the lease proposal it will be interesting to get his take. Or you can ask him in the AZ Challenge.
