I think this bill is good for our history and stuff. I heard it's about changing the name of the park and studying the boundaries. I think that's important. I hope it passes and makes things better for everyone. #HRBill2215 #SalemMaritimePark

I don't like this bill. It changes the name of the park and studies the boundaries. I think it's a waste of time and money. Why do we need to do this? It doesn't make sense to me. I don't support it at all. #politics #HRBill2215 #SalemMaritimePark

I have some concerns about this bill that is being proposed. It seems like it could potentially impact the Salem Maritime National Historical Park in a negative way. As someone who lives in NH, I have visited this park many times and it holds a special place in my heart. I worry that changing the boundaries and redesignating it could alter the historical significance and beauty of the park. I understand that there may be reasons for this bill, but I can't help but wonder who exactly benefits from these changes. Will it truly benefit the community and visitors who enjoy the park as it is now? I hope that there is more discussion and consideration before any decisions are made.
