Youth Opportunity For Volunteering
Every year in school, our younger people in the communities of
Epsom, Chichester, and Pittsfield are required to volunteer for a
number of hours. Have you decided how to do that?
We
have the ANSWER! Join the new Epsom-Chichester Leos Club. This is
the youth branch of the International Lions Clubs. You will have an
opportunity to plan how you want to spend your volunteer time with
your friends. You get to plan the project.

a.m. to 2 p.m. for all the information plus refreshments. Bring your
buddies! Questions? Call Amy at 736-4744 or Elaine at

Letter Thanks To Epsom’s Board Of Select Persons
I
would like to publicly thank the EBOS for the action that they are
going to take in an effort to have the tax impact on each warrant
article placed back on the official ballot.
That action is to let the Att. General’s Office know that the voters
of Epsom voted by more than 4 to 1 to have it placed there. Also, to
enlist the help of our State Reps, to use any influence that they
may have, to aid this cause.
The
tax impact is information that we want and deserve to have to guide
us in an effort to control our tax bill.

Letter
To
my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, And Pittsfield: In session
this week: HB2010, the 10 year highway plan. Except that funding is
inadequate, it seemed reasonable, emphasizing that the I93 widening
must be completed, toll revenues are for toll roads only, and that
the passenger rail authority cannot borrow, spend or commit any
funds – except for some federal planning money – without explicit
legislative approval. The bill passed, 317-11.
HB1428, extending death benefits from the NH Retirement System to a
spouse even after remarriage, was killed because the vote took place
while many Representatives were straggling in from lunch: the vote
on the committee recommendation of passing was 162-167; the vote to
kill it was 173-169, and the vote to reconsider the vote to kill it
was 173-179. I voted to kill the bill; Representatives Brown,
Porter, and Yeaton voted for it all three times.
HB1664, cutting the state budget by $47 million: The Finance
Committee cut LCHIP by $1M for one year only, deleted funding to the
state film office, mandated a less costly medical plan for retirees,
and cut several HHS programs. Most contentiously, it cut state
contributions towards local employee’s pensions and prevented the
hit to property taxpayers by increasing employee contributions from
5% of pay to 7% (teachers) or from 9.3% to 11% (police and fire),
for one year. Immediately the Finance Chair introduced these cuts
and changes, but before anyone could question or speak on any issue,
a motion to table HB1664 was made and passed 212-151; I was the only
Representative from this district to vote against cutting off
debate.
Anyone interested in what’s going on at the State House is invited
to email or call me; those who’d like a more detailed report than I
can fit in The Sun should email me for my newsletter.
