I find it hard to believe that Weare, NH has a population of 8500. I know things have grown a lot here but that puts it in the "big town" category by our standards.
Win or lose, and you knew it was going to lose, folks' awareness of the issue has been heightened by this whole thing and the people who started this whole thing rolling get praise from me.
