Even in a small State like New Hampshire there is more than a plethora of issues to keep us in blog fodder for, well, forever. You see, since Progressives have carried out their “The personal is political, the political is the personal”, politics has been shoved by them into every nook and cranny of our very being and Progressives want that because where the political is, Government gets to control it. After all, it is for your own good (go ask Obamacare Architect Gruber to see if that it true!). But there is help coming as this next question brings up:
Question 9: There is a term out there going around “Conservatarians” [ “Conservative with (small “L”) libertarian leanings” -Skip]; A lot of people ran for office in the Republican Party this year. It was amazing, I think, in the primary how many people were running against each other in districts. In many of the districts around me, a lot of people that would call themselves Conservatarians won and they have more of a Liberty mindset that they are more vocal about Liberty issues. Do you see the demographics in the House changing this year from the last time; do you have a sense for that at all?
And of course, when people whose real domicile is not in New Hampshire they can decide to steal a vote:
Question 10: Voter ID problem; a judge in Strafford County gutted domicile which pretty much made that pointless endeavor. Domicile is a huge problem what can we do and can we get it through a Democrat Governor?
Previous Questions:
- Question 1 – Compliance continues to be an issue but costs are the biggest barrier in my mind. Many people can’t even afford to obtain copies of public records because the fees are too high. What can the legislature do to make public documents accessible to people of all income brackets?
- Question 1A – RTKs by citizens are often met with hostilities and delays by public servants – is a remedy one that would hold them personally responsible (stripping away qualified immunity in egregious cases) for any penalties (fines and judgements)?
- Question 1B – Normally fines & penalties paid to wronged citizens are paid by the agencies from tax monies. More of an incentive to comply by stripping qualified indemnity and forcing guilty government workers to pay such out of their personal pockets?
- Question 2 -What happens if the Supremes rule against IRS subsidy rule?
- Question 3 – How do we transition people from Obamacare’s Expanded Medicaid before it sunsets?
- Question 4 – Energy costs are stifling business – what should be done legislatively about the PUC, regulations and the whole entwined system that we have right now which is one of the reasons the costs are so high against some neighboring states which are lower?
- Question 5 – New Hampshire has a number of unelected commissions who can circumvent elected officials/the voice of the taxpayers. What can/should the legislature do to keep/make them accountable to the people or move their responsibilities to people who are accountable? Would it be easier to shift/consolidate whatever it is those commissions do, to elected officials who are accountable to voters?
- Question 6 – These Regional Planning Commissions that were enacted by RSA, have political subdivision status, they collect dues from the Towns, they also take a lot of money in from the Federal Government and that feels like it is bypassing the Legislature and Executive Council. Does it feel like they are overstepping their bounds and they are using Federal money to do it?
- Question 7 – Is it the case that legislators are giving away their authority with passing broad “themes” and not holding them accountable for doing the nitty gritty details?
- Question 8 – With 40% of NH’s “revenue” coming via federal coffers and taking into consideration the current $2B hole (not including Medicaid expansion), what step can be taken, if any, to slow the hemorrhaging?
