Thank you for you letter of concern,

=============================

You've heard good news travels fast - well how fast does bad news travel?
Well - let's take a look.

With our state in the midst of an economic disaster, our legislators are doing what they can to make sure the tourists that we may rely on for a financial shot in the arm have plenty to talk about.

LD 114 sponsored by Rep. Anne Perry (D) Calais and it's intention is to make overnight parking of RV's in public parking lots illegal.

The Portland Press Herald reported on Sunday: "She wants RVers to feel welcome in Maine, she said. But if RVers avoid the state because they aren't allowed to park for free, that's not a great loss."

RVTravel.com, and online resource for RV owners in the US and Canada has already posted a commentary urging RV owners to contact a number of folks and voice their collective discontent with the proposed bill.

Isn't it time that we pay attention to the financial state of the state and make some moves to get us in the right direction? Is this really a good time to offend a large population of folks with disposable income?
