Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,

This Monday, the Merrimack County representatives approved the county budget. County managers did a great job, reducing spending by almost $500,000 and keeping the amount raised by taxes the same as last year. Revenue changed, largely in the nursing home, where various refunds and Medicaid reimbursements are intricately linked. One unexpected benefit to the county was a $2.5 million rebate of health insurance payments from the Local Government Center; 20% will be rebated to the employees as their share of the overpayments.

 

The House met this week and avoided a lot of controversy. HB357, allowing more time to report a change of name or address to the DMV, was chosen by the Finance committee to bring the entire issue of highway funding to a head. They prepared an amendment including the entire department of transportation budget, with drastic cuts which would require half the employees be laid off. This being unacceptable, they also provided another amendment with an 8 cent increase in the gas tax.

 

I opposed the gas tax, because it hurts everyone. So I went through the budget for the department of safety (DMV, gas tax collection, highway patrol, etc) and found $15 million per year by trimming the growth and cutting areas that the highway fund was over-supporting. With $20 million from UNH (still a good increase from the 11/12 budget), this covered the shortfall, so I had an amendment ready. However, opposition to gutting DoT and/or to the gas tax increase was so strident among Representatives that the chair asked for the committee amendment to be killed. The 3-365 vote was conclusive, so no gas tax was proposed and Finance went back to work to find other funds.

 

Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details than fit here.

Letter To The Editor

 

One of the “selling points” the proponents of “zoning” put forth is that it maintains or boosts property values.

 

OK.

 

Several people come together to formulate a plan as to how they can manipulate the local real estate market to their advantage, i.e., to maintain or even increase their property values, and, in the end, make money for themselves when and if they sell their property.

 

Their plan: to use force or threats of force against other people in town so as to force those other people to use their property in a certain way and, if they do not “cooperate,” to prevent those other people from using their property at all!  

 

Would you approve of some people in town doing such a thing to other people in town?

 

Would you participate in such a plan?

 

If someone tried to implement such a plan, wouldn’t they be committing a crime? 

 

Is there any difference in principle between a group of private citizens using force or threats of force against other people in town so as to force those other people to use their property in a certain way or to prevent those other people from using their property at all . . . 

 

And Town government using force or threats of force against other people in town so as to force those other people to use their property in a certain way or to prevent those other people from using their property at all?

 

The use of force or threats of force by Town officials in order to manipulate the local real estate market is not a legitimate function of Town government.

Epsom Food Pantry

 

As I look out my window it is raining. YEA, not snowing. Perhaps now the snow drifts will disappear.

 

We have been busy at the Pantry.  One of our volunteers, Alice Thompson, has completed the Food Safety program sponsored by UNH Co-op Extension program.  This is a must with the running of a Food Pantry and Alice has already brought our volunteers up to date.

 

We are in the process of filing IRS and State of NH papers and this with the help of Dorothy Duclos will keep us in good standing with the Feds and State of NH.  It is not all food people.

 

We have many duties that have to be attended to along with our Pantry, but it is all worth it as we have many families that are receiving good nourishing food and handled right in their own town by caring volunteers.

 

Until next time,

Priscilla
