Letter To The Editor
Epsom Town Office Space
I want to thank the Board of Selectmen and the Meeting House
Committee for all the time and effort each has put into proposals re
Town Office spaces. This does need to be on the front burner as our
lease option in strip mall comes due 2015.
Having said that, I am distraught re the path we appear to be on.
(Townspeople will have 2-3 months before voting on this issue, if it
indeed comes to a vote.) If I understand correctly, the end game is
to hold a special election in which voters are asked ‘Shall we
purchase Pathfinders Academy for Town Offices?’. I believe this
narrow proposal is a waste of time and money, further it will cause
much discord among residents.
As a taxpayer, I want all the cards on the table! When, and if, we
get to this vote, I suggest 3 options for the ballot: 1. Continue
strip mall lease for 5 years. 2. Purchase Pathfinders Academy,
renovate then maintain 7 town buildings from general building
maintenance fund. 3. Renovate Meeting House/Town Hall then maintain
3 buildings from general maintenance fund.

Letter
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,
The House met this week on 35 mostly minor bills. We dealt with 23
non-controversial bills at once. SB71, creating a committee to study
prescription drug misuse in workers’ compensation cases, was debated
on the grounds that it’s redundant to the dozen or so existing
prescription drug abuse committees, councils, and task forces, and
also that focusing on workers’ comp cases was wrong and an invasion
of privacy. I agreed, but the bill passed, 193-145.
SB83, repealing the sunset of the controlled drug prescription
monitoring program we passed last year, was briefly debated. I spoke
against it, but the proponents were convinced that if it were
repealed, they could get a federal grant to start the program: they
had no funding mechanism for the program when they started it last
year. The lure of “free money” and concerns about prescription drug
abuse (which is a real problem: I just don’t think this program is a
good way to deal with it) convinced most people and the bill passed,
238-105.
SB108, ensuring that landowners who allow other to use their land
for recreation are not liable for injuries by snowmobile trail
groomers or other people working there, passed on a voice vote.
SB187, a feel good bill freeing 14 slaves who had petitioned the
legislature in 1779 for their freedom, had no opposition. This
year’s legislature apparently considers 200 years the right age for
a petition, since it passed 344-2. After some other business, one
Representative moved to reconsider this vote so we could make it
unanimous. It was, 336-0, for the first unanimous vote in a long,
long time.
Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details
than can fit here.
