Letter To The Editor
Voting
Records On Senior Issues
When it
comes to support for the senior safety net, New Hampshire’s two
Senators could not be more different. The Alliance for Retired
Americans produces a voting record to show how committed our elected
representatives are to retirees and older Americans. Votes chosen
for 2013 were*:
Seniors
Program Cuts
Health
Care Repeal
Estate
Tax Repeal
Anti-Retiree Budget
Mandatory Benefit Cuts
Limit
Victims’ Rights
Limit
Voters’ Rights
Cut
Emergency Phone Service
Pro-Retiree Budget
Cut
Nutrition Programs
Senator
Shaheen received a score of 100%, which did not surprise the New
Hampshire Alliance for Retired Americans, since we have had
opportunities to speak with her in person both in her office and at
events around the state, and to hear her pledge her support for the
programs that not only benefit us, but our children and
grandchildren now and in the future.
Senator
Ayotte received a score of 10%, which, sorry to say, did not
surprise us. She has, her staff tells us, been much too busy to meet
with us at her office, despite repeated requests. Individual members
have attended events she held, despite the short notices, but have
not gotten any questions answered.
We at
the New Hampshire Alliance for Retired Americans believe that all
New Hampshire retirees and all New Hampshire citizens who care about
our retirees or hope to be retired some day should have this
information. Please visit our website,

information and how to contact us.

Northwood Business Directory: Ready For Business Review!
The
Northwood Economic Development Committee is finalizing the town’s
business directory. Before we convert everything to the

give their information one final review. The current information is
on the town’s website: northwoodnh.org (go to the Main Menu > Boards
and Committees > Economic Development Committee). If you have any
corrections or additions, or need help locating the list, please
contact Diane at 942 5586 x 214. The deadline is for any changes is
4 PM on Friday, June 20th,
Once we
wrap up the Business Directory, the EDC will be looking for new
ideas for supporting our local businesses. We encourage business
owners and community members to help us do so in any way that you
can – by attending our meetings, offering thoughts and ideas (even
just one!) or by becoming a committee member. We need your input to
determine what best serves our community. Please contact any
committee member or call town hall if you are interested.
