Governments mostly raise money and fix problems, or at least try to. Attempts to do one without the other often don't work. The latest proposal to install parking meters in North Conway is firmly aligned on the side of raising money. As for fixing a problem: What problem?

Conway selectmen are mulling an idea put forward to expand its paid parking program at four recreational areas to encompass all of North Conway Village. Soon-to-be town manager John Eastman said that by charging $2 an hour for 10 hours a day at 400 parking spots, “you can make some serious money.” That telegraphs it clearly is more of a money-making idea than a problem-solving one.
