I'm not so sure a court will determine that the town can't enforce its own ordinances or that this particular ordinance in unconstitutional in some way.

Literally hundreds of towns across the country have similar ordinances that dictate house colors in historic districts and even the types of lighting that can be used. I know of towns in MA and CT that only allow black and white for retail signage. I think the towns ordinance will stand along with the towns ability to enforce it.

I'm from Merrimack! Class of '04. Loved growing up there. Now that I've traveled, encountered other states, and my own kids are entering highschool elsewhere in NH, I'm realizing how fucking lucky I was and the education I got was above standard. Don't know if it's still like that but I hope it is. I drive through there occasionally and I want to cry. Urban sprawl has made it unrecognizable.

How about they wrap that part of the building in a large canvas tarp while they work on getting the regulations changed? While I think it’s a beautiful mural, unfortunately laws are laws. Everyone loves donuts, but what if a XXX shop decided to paint their building with the dildos they sell? It’s the same thing.

I can understand how if the law is repealed, it could have unwanted consequences. But...is Conway really at risk of that? Billboards are pretty uncommon in NH as it is. I can't see people putting up billboards in the middle of nowhere.

And regardless of negative consequences anyway, I also don't see how it isn't a violation of the first amendment to make a law against putting up any sort of advertisement on land you own. Doesn't matter if it's a charming donut shop sign or ugly billboard for a strip club.

The government is never more of the people by the people and for the people than in a small town. They can easily ratify and change the wording of the law if they care. This is a really simple one. As it's written it's outside the rules. What's the point of rules if we make acceptions because we like one thing more than another? Change the rule.

off the top of my head I can think of 2 people i know personally who went to prison for deliberately setting cars on fire. Also note the burned out cars in the woods around Rochester, Manchester and many etc.

Blame me. Maybe it's shell shock / exploding car shock

Yes they are. Take a look at the chart titled "Levelized Cost of Energy Comparison (Unsubsidized Analysis)"

The company that produces this report is the go-to source for any professional involved in energy project finance (mostly investment bankers and institutional investors). People in the business know most of the numbers/ranges in this report by heart.

You've been badly mislead about the economics of power generation and energy finance. You can choose to remain misinformed or you can do some research so you don't continue to post incorrect things. It's up to you.
