Letter To The Editor
On March 14th, Epsom
voters will have the choice of two excellent candidates for
Selectman. Chris Bowes and Virginia Drew have both served the town
as elected officials and both are committed to serving our
community.
I am supporting Chris
Bowes in his re-election quest because having served with him on the
Board of Selectmen for the past two years, I have seen a man who has
worked tirelessly to make sure the town provides the services its
residents need, while at the same time keeping the town portion of
the tax rate from rising.
Working with his fellow
Selectmen, Chris has been instrumental in cost saving efforts such
as changing assessing firms, resulting in a significant reduction in
cost. Chris also worked closely with our financial administrator to
start the shift away from top tier health insurance plans that
stopped the astronomical growth in cost while at the same time still
providing good coverage for our employees.
The cost of our schools
is out of control due to unfunded mandates from the state and
federal governments. This makes it critical that the Selectmen
tightly control the costs of town government to help lessen the tax
impact of the school.
Re-electing Chris Bowes
will ensure that the progress the town has seen will continue.
Please join me in supporting Chris Bowes on Election Day.

Letter
To my constituents in
Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,
This week my committee
wrapped up the “early” bills, which will go on to another committee.
HB97, on the use of drones, was amended to remove most restrictions
on personal and professional use, and recommended to pass, 18-0. It
still contains the prohibition on weapons and limits on government
use of drones. HB307, banning reserved parking for low-emissions
vehicles at liquor stores, was killed, 17-0, as unnecessary because
the offending signs have been taken down and the liquor commission,
I believe, was warned that this is not the group we would want to
get reserved parking – veterans and first responders were suggested
as more appropriate. We also voted to kill HB645, ending retiree
health benefits for future state employees, and HB446, prohibiting
mandatory project labor agreements in state contracts. This would be
a nice gesture, but since the state has never required such an
agreement, and it would disadvantage the 80% or so of state
construction workers who are not affiliated with a union, there’s
not much chance of one being imposed in the future. HB624, technical
corrections to various retirement system laws, was amended to
consistently cover dependents up to the age of 26, and recommended
to pass, 18-0. HB649, making emergency medical technicians who are
not also firefighters eligible for a death in the line of duty
benefit, was amended to make the language more consistent and
passed,17-1.
The committee also voted
to retain HB192, on rules in the Department of Corrections; HB631,
creating a cash balance plan for new hires; and HB653, health care
premiums for over-65 state retirees. This last bill was the only
contentious one, due to the opposition we’ve all received from state
employees and retirees – the vote was 10-9.
Interested readers can
email me to receive my newsletter, which has more detail than fits
here.
