House Democrats Defy Tradition, Set Dangerous Precedent

Concord--In what can only be considered the
parliamentary version of the "Cornhusker Kickback," House Democrats
created a dangerous new precedent on Wednesday by conjuring up new motions and
using coin flips to determine the state's fiscal policy for their budget
shortfall.

House
Democrats came to an agreement with the Senate, behind closed doors and signed
an agreement which called for a coin toss in order to determine which bill the
House and Senate would work on in conference to address their fiscal
mismanagement. The chair of the House Finance Committee then offered what
can only be called a "contingent" motion on the House floor, a
motion that exists nowhere in rules or parliamentary procedure or has ever been
used in the House that anyone can recall. This motion passed on the House
floor by only 12 votes, with a dozen Democrats joining Republicans in protest
of this dangerous, precedent-setting vote.

In comments
to WMUR-TV, Speaker Norelli commented that she would welcome the Republicans
participation in the process but that all she'd seen so far was
obstruction. In response to this outrageous comment by the House Speaker,
House Republican Leader Sherm Packard ( Londonderry )
stated: "I am shocked by the comments of Terie Norelli. When
Republicans offered $200 Million in cuts to the budget last year, we were
turned away. When Republicans offered over $70 Million in cuts to the
recent budget, we were turned away. All Speaker Norelli has shown us is
that her party has gone from 'yes we can' to 'no we
won't.' They have failed to balance their budget, they have
failed to govern, and they have failed to even work with the Senate and their
own governor. The only way Republicans have been obstructionists is in
protecting the interests of the institution. So I ask, who's really
doing the obstructing in Concord ?"

In a further
slap to the face of proper procedure, Speaker Norelli refused to take up the
Ways & Means committee's revenue estimates BEFORE appointing the
conferees on the budget bill, leaving them in the dark about where the
state's revenues are actually tracking. "In my twenty years
in the New Hampshire House, I have never been more disgusted by the lack of
civility, the lack of respect for our traditions and precedent and the way the
majority runs the House rough-shot," concluded Packard.

THE AGREEMENT

NH reps want to get tough with drug manufacturers May 15, 2010

NH reps want to get tough with drug manufacturers

Boston Globe

May 15, 2010

 "The lead petitioner, Rep. Al Baldasaro, R-Londonderry, said last week that he is happy with Ayotte’s progress, but he wants continued action."

"Each year, New Hampshire and the federal government split the cost of Medicaid, which helps pay for health care for the needy, aged and disabled, as well as low-income families with children.
What first caught Baldasaro's attention was a huge increase in state spending on newer antipsychotic drugs for children almost $4 million last year, up from less than $300,000 in 2000.
"What got me going is how much money we are spending on Medicaid dollars to drug our kids, and on prescriptions that are designed for adults and not tested for use by children," he said.
When Baldasaro and other officials saw other states taking drug manufacturers to court to recover money wrongfully collected from them, the legislators wanted New Hampshire to follow suit. Their petition asked Ayotte to sue Bristol-Myers Squibb, manufacturer of Abilify, and Eli Lilly, manufacturer of Zyprexa. Both drugs are prescribed for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder."

Londonderry Charter Commission doesn't exactly draw a crowd

By Suzanne Laurent slaurent@derrynews.com
—
LONDONDERRY The newly formed Charter Commission's first public hearing Monday was poorly attended, leading the nine members to question whether residents need more information about its mission.


Just 10 people showed up, including a Boy Scout, who was attending the meeting for a badge requirement.


Pauline Caron spoke first, saying someone from the panel should explain what would change in the way the town votes if it goes to an SB2 style of government, including how that would change the budgetary process.


Commission Chairman Brian Farmer said the Budget Committee would still be an advisory committee if the form of voting was changed to ballot-style. Just like on the school side, there would be a recommended budget and a default budget.


Farmer also said the panel could make a recommendation to the voters about having a quorum for the deliberative session. If the quorum is met, voters can argue and make changes during the session.


Resident Martin Sturgis said he's "been all over the map on this."


"I enjoy going to Town Meeting," he said. "But this year, only 318 people decided on budget items."


Sturgis said more people cast ballots. Commission member and state representative Al Baldasaro agreed. He noted absentee voters also would have their chance at the polls.


"I echo my support," resident John Curran said. "It's sort of bittersweet. I'm a history buff and would hate to see Town Meeting go by the wayside. I was at Town Meeting, though, and all contested issues went to secret ballot."


Jay Hooley and Tom Freda also spoke in favor of SB2.


"Looking at the votes, people want to preserve Town Meeting, but they don't want to go," Freda said.


Reed P. Clark III was the sole supporter of Town Meeting.


"I'm not in favor of going into a booth and spending five minutes making checkmarks when you may not have heard both sides of the issue," he said. "Secret ballots were after hearing both sides of the issue."


Caron asked the panel how many New Hampshire towns have adopted SB2 since it went into effect in 1996 and if those towns still have SB2.


Baldasaro had done his homework. In 1996, he said, there were 30 SB2 towns; by 2009, that number had grown to 65 towns. He said he would look into the second part of the question.

The group decided it would need to invite state, town and school officials to discuss budgetary aspects of changing the style of government in the hopes of getting more residents to attend future public hearings.


Three meetings were scheduled April 26, May 10 and May 24. Public comment will be heard while actual hearings will take place around the time of the first draft of the commission's recommendations is due Aug. 26.

LYNCH LIED !

http://www.lynchlied.com/ Governor John Lynch is experiencing a well-deserved loss of public support. In fact, according to WMUR, his approval rating is down 15 points from last year. This is no wonder as New Hampshire voters are coming to realize that John Lynch has repeatedly lied to us. ...

Marriage Amendment Vote

The Truth about the Results of
Town Meeting Votes on Marriage
92 NH Towns voted on an article that said:
Resolved: The citizens of New Hampshire should be allowed to vote on
an amendment to the New Hampshire Constitution that defines "marriage".

64 % of these Towns PASSED the Marriage Article
The total state-wide vote count was 61.3% YES, 38.7% No
The COMPLETE results to date are available at www.letnhvote.com/results.htm
________________________________
Spinning the Results
It is very noteworthy that groups like New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition
and Granite State Progress are focusing on who did NOT vote on the Article.
They emphasize the number of towns and cities where petitions were NOT filed.
They tried desperately to keep people from voting on the article by amending
or tabling it.  They successfully amended it in 16 towns and tabled it in 33 others.
Now they want to claim that these towns defeated the article, even though the
citizens in these towns never voted on the article's resolution.
They deliberately ignore the fact that the Article passed by an overwhelming majority
of the citizens who actually voted on it.  59 Passed (64%),  33 Failed (36%)
Help Tell the Truth
Many media reports this past week have presented the opposition's biased
view of the results.  Help clarify the distorted picture the public was given.
Please pass this information onso more people will know how many other
NH citizens agree that we should vote on the definition of marriage.
Letters to the editor are a great tool for bringing balance to news reports and
keeping an issue alive and fresh in the mind of the public.
You are welcome and encouraged to use the information here and on the
LetNHvote.com site for letters to the editor.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Ryan Williams
March 17, 2010
NHGOP STATEMENT ON HOUSE REJECTING LLC INCOME TAX REPEAL CONCORD – Former New Hampshire Governor and Republican State Committee Chairman John H. Sununu released the following statement today on the New Hampshire House rejecting a bill that would have repealed Governor Lynch's job-killing LLC income tax: "By refusing to back this repeal of Governor Lynch's job-killing LLC income tax, House Democrats have demonstrated a complete disregard for New Hampshire's small business community. "Enough is enough. The long, drawn-out LLC tax saga has created confusion and uncertainty that continues to hurt small businesses and cost New Hampshire jobs. It's time for the Democrats to finally listen to their constituents and immediately repeal Governor Lynch's job-killing LLC income tax."
