Letter To The Editor

Words Without Knowledge

 

A letter writer to last week’s Suncook Sun implied that I deliberately misrepresented Maureen Mann’s voting record. He also said I “accused” her of what he called “voting atrocities.” So I went back and redid my research.

 

I found that the writer was clearly confused about Rep. Mann’s vote to defeat a bill that would have protected property owners from having government seize their property for private development. She did vote “yes,” but it was on a motion to kill the bill. She voted against property owners’ rights, just as I said.

 

She also voted for a bill that allowed lobbyists to sit on judicial rules committees, just as I said. The writer finds it suspicious that I omitted listing the conditions under which lobbyists are excluded. The fact remains, however, that it’s apparently just fine for lobbyists to sit on judicial committees--with certain exclusions--at least as far as Ms. Mann and the writer are concerned. Others might take a different view.

 

She also voted against allowing “any member of the public to record any public official in the course of his or her official duties,” just as I said. The writer’s defense is that some Republicans voted against it too, and besides, she co-sponsored a bill to require police to wear body cameras. So she did, but it’s still not the same as the bill she voted against.

 

Incidentally, why is reporting Maureen Mann’s voting record called “accusing” her? Also, if the writer thinks such votes to be “voting atrocities,” maybe he should reconsider supporting her.

 

In any case, I’d like to suggest that we avoid attributing dark motives to those we disagree with. Let’s stick to the issues. Personal attacks and hyperbole stifle the free and open debate so necessary in a democratic society.

Northwood Recreation Update

The Northwood Recreation Department has a variety of sports camps and activities for all ages to choose from this summer. 

 

Bear Cub Lacrosse- This is an introductory program for boys and girls entering 1st – 9th grade. We will hold practices on Tuesday and Thursday nights through the summer.  Not only will we be teaching the children lacrosse skills and rules, but we will also be teaching parents how to coach lacrosse.

Summer Soccer Skills – This is a program run by volunteer coaches that is ideal for the child who would like another night of practice to work on his or her soccer skills. We are offering this to children entering 1st – 6th grades. The group will meet Wednesday evenings during the summer.

 

Adult Co-Ed Slow Pitch Softball – Find 9 to 15 of your friends and register your team to participate in our adult softball league. Games will take place two nights a week during July and August.

Letter To The Editor

Let there be light! 

 

By the time you read this, the District 32 election will be over, and I hope that the better Mann won.  Regardless of the outcome, the struggle for New Hampshire’s future will continue.  And with the Free State movement continuing to infiltrate our communities, the call for “less government” will continue. 

 

So to celebrate progress to date thanks to MORE government, and give the lie to their core premise that less government is good government, let us celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Rural Electrification Act (REA) of 1935. 

 

On May 11 of that year, President Roosevelt issued an Executive Order establishing the Rural Electrification Administration that implemented the provisions of the REA that offered federal loans to cooperative electric companies to install electrical distribution systems to serve rural areas across the U.S. 

 

Wikipedia tells us that “REA crews traveled through the American countryside, bringing teams of electricians with them.  The electricians added wiring to houses and barns to utilize the newly available electric power provided by the line crews.   A standard REW installation consisted of … a ceiling-mounted light fixture in each room and one outlet.” 

 

It sounds pretty minimal given our electrified lifestyles, but I’m sure it was a revelation.  And some of us got a taste of that pre-REA life during one of last winter’s storms. 

 

And while this example of government intervention may sound quaint, New Hampshire’s North Country continues to suffer economically from a lack of high-speed internet service, as it did from a lack of electrification 80 years ago.  And where does a solution lie to that problem? 

 

The good news is that this New Deal progress won’t be undone. While some may exercise their freedom to live off the grid – and in the dark in other ways as well, the rest of us don’t have to.
