Letter


To my constituents:
Hope you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. 
Right now the legislature is getting organized.  We’re choosing our leadership, making committee assignments and submitting bills for 2011.  Carol and I believe our whole district supported Mont Vernon Representative, Bill O’Brien, for Speaker of the House.  He was the eventual winner in a very close race.  We’ve known Bill for over five years.  He’s a thoughtful conservative with proven leadership skills.


I have submitted a half-dozen bills, mostly to reform the bureaucracy.  The one that is getting the most support from my colleagues would create a free-market option for health insurance.


Right now we have one of the most expensive, heavily regulated and least competitive health insurance industries in the country.  We currently impose a laundry list of mandates, down to the wording of application forms.

 
Originally I wanted to submit a bill that would remove some of the most egregious mandates, but there are so many of them that it was an almost impossible task just to list the sections of law to be deleted.  Instead, the bill will allow a willing buyer to contract with a willing seller for health insurance on any mutually agreeable terms.  The only requirement is that the contract states that it is not subject to regulation by the state, other than normal lawsuits and criminal fraud statutes.


This will open up the market for competition and allow buyers to only get those features they want to pay for.  My rough estimate is that this will save insurance buyers about $250 million per year.


Next week I’ll discuss the other five bills.  I welcome hearing from you at [email protected], or 782-4918.


Yours,
Rep. Dan McGuire
Epsom

Thanks To Your Generosity Loudon Food Pantry Gave Out 129 Thanksgiving Boxes

 
Last year we gave out 120 Thanksgiving Boxes. This year it was 129.  Not much of an increase.  Please keep in mind that we now service between 90–95 households per week.   Some of our patrons from last year have lost their homes and/or have moved out of our service area.  We would prefer to lose our patrons to better circumstances (getting jobs, circumstances overall getting better etc.).  Some patrons go and more patrons join us.  Until the economy gets better we will go with the flow and help as many as we possible can.


This year, our donors came through with flying colors.  We had donations of all types (holiday and non-holiday items).  The items that were not donated were purchased with funds that were donated.  We can not thank you enough for opening your hearts to those in need.  We would like to thank Foxy Hair Care, Meadow Ledge Farm, Freihoffers, and some very generous personal donors as well.  But whether you donated pennies, dollars, time, space, food or goods we appreciated all that you do.


The boxes contained fresh potatoes, carrots, onions, bananas, apples as well as turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, yams, dinners rolls, rice, dessert and they picked off our food shelves to have enough food for 10 days (because we’re closed the following week).


Donors, if you can’t make it to the pantry to donate, you can drop by The Ivory Rose in Loudon and leave it there for us!  We also have two of our new cash bins at that location as well.  Thanks Ivory Rose!


Did you ever ask yourself “How does Loudon Food Pantry service five towns from just three rooms”?


Believe me, we ask ourselves that same question every day! Are you curious to see what we do and how we do it?  Well, let’s start the new year right, have you over and answer all your questions.  You’re invited to visit us on Saturday, December 11th between 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM.  It’s just an all around get together so you can get to know us and we can get to know you.  We’ll have refreshments and coffee as well!  See you there!
