Hour One: snippets coming soon!
Doug and Skip talk about the recent seatbelt bill passed by the NH House - 25 Republicans voted against the NH Republican Party Platform principles to help the Democrats pass it. If they had voted against it, it would have failed. Ramifications?
Laconia School Board - all other School Boards are being frugal - why is Laconia spending money they don't have? Oh yeah - the Stimulus bill! Are School Boards doing this in your area?
Former NH Gov. and new NH GOP Chair John H. Sununu comes on again to talk frankly about the state of the budget, the holes that Democrat Governor John Lynch has created, and the problems that the Dems are creating in trying to "transform" NH into Mass-lite.
Skip throws Gov. Sununu a curve in bringing up HB583 that will set up a 5% Income tax in NH and makes all teachers state employees. Once again, Democrats trying to consolidate power in Concord instead of keeping with traditional NH values with local control on Education.
Hour Two: snippets coming soon!
NH Representative Dan Itse comes on to talk about HCR006 - the House Resolution that tells the Federal Government to "bug off" - putting NH's sovereignty in primacy. It has caught fire, as 24 other States are rising up to tell the Federal Government that the 10th Amendment says "this far and no further" and to stop encroaching on States Rights! And he did a fine job on the Glenn Beck Show.
We also talk with Peyton Walcott about the movement to put School Board / District Check Registers on-line so that all can see where the money is going.
