Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,

This week, the legislature was called in for a special session to address the Supreme Court decision on Wayfarer vs South Dakota, which threatens that all internet sellers would have to collect and pay sales taxes to all taxing jurisdictions (something over 10,000, including counties and cities). That’s a major burden on small sellers, especially since New Hampshire only businesses don’t currently collect any sales taxes. So the governor created a task force and called a special session.

 

The first debate was on the rules. The issues were, first, allowing the special session to extend beyond one day and creating a committee of conference procedure if the House and Senate disagreed, and second, allowing the House as well as the Senate to introduce bills and resolutions. Amendments to change these failed, 125-188 and 98-216.

 

The Senate passed the special committee’s bill (SS SB 1) without amendment, and sent it over. It included a list of findings, a study commission on sales taxes, and a new law that required any attempt at collecting such taxes to register with the Attorney General and meet a number of criteria. The first action was an amendment to delete everything except the study commission. I was one of three speakers in favor of this amendment, since I believe that the New Hampshire Advantage of no sales tax requires stronger action than registration with the Attorney General, and I am not convinced that a 5-4 Supreme Court decision to send a case back to South Dakota requires immediate action. Rather to my surprise, the amendment passed, 164-151, and the bill, as amended, passed 258-57.

 

The Senate refused to concur with the amended bill and the special session ended with no action taken.

Hand Spinning Exhibit And Demonstration At The Epsom Public Library

 

To kick off our exciting new exhibit, Joyce Heck will be demonstrating hand spinning at the library on Saturday, August 4, from 10 am to noon.  If you’ve ever wanted to try spinning, come in and give it a whirl.  Children and adults alike are welcome to be guided by Joyce through the basics of this fascinating and classic craft.

 

Joyce is a member of the NH Spinners and Dyers Guild, a statewide organization of people who enjoy spinning and creating a wide variety of items made from handspun yarn. Some members of the guild raise sheep, rabbits and goats for their spinnable fibers, while others enjoy using cotton and flax.  Vests, sweaters, shawls and scarves made from wool, alpaca, mohair, cotton and other plant fibers are among the knit or woven articles that will be on display at the library.  Work by Joyce Heck, Emily Skofield, Fran Emory and Beckie Hanson are included in this exhibit of fiber items created much as they would have been two hundred years ago.  The show runs through September 15 and may be viewed during regular library hours: Monday through Thursday, 10 am to 7 pm, and Saturday, 9 am to 1 pm.  For more information, call the library at 736-9920 or visit www.epsomlibrary.com.
