New Hampshire threatens border regions
2004-12-09
Legislators say they will file bills next year to expand the state.
"We need liebensraum!"
One proposal would declare the towns of Kittery and Berwick, Maine, part of New Hampshire. The two states have fought over the border for decades in a dispute over who owns the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
Obviously as a base of operations for the New Hampshire Navy
Another bill would welcome Killington, Vt., whose voters approved a plan to join New Hampshire because of a tax dispute with Vermont.
Sure, they "say" they just want Killington. Next thing you know, they'll be annexing all of Vermont into the Greater New England Co-Prosperity Sphere!
The Vermont and Maine legislatures also would have to approve the proposals. Their approval isn't seen as likely.
This means war!

#14  Ha! There is plenty of SNOW to ski on at Killington right as I type this. So all skiers should hit the slopes and not worry about any real estate battles because this would NEVER happen!

Ship, I thought that's the one where we take over Canada.

I get so confused...

Tax dispute with Vermont? You mean Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream does not keep Vermont afloat all by itself? Geez, who'd of thought...

#11  What's the difference? All these states voted for Kerry.

Then again, Vermont might roll over like France. 54-40 Burlington or Fight!

#6  Well, it's Vermont, the hippie paradise. Seems to me that if you just air-drop some Maui Wowie on the Vermont legislature they'll mellow out and cede the entire state to New Hampshire. Bloodless coup!

#2  ..oh, and the New Hampshire Navy is in the shed until I can repair the outboard, so don't expect amphibious ops in this campaign.

#1  We plan to start infiltrating Killington VT just as soon as they get enough snow base.

Mum's the word, RBers....
