Another legislative session, another attempt to pass a casino bill fails. Don’t worry; it will be back again “tomorrow” which is to say next session and every session after that until it passes, which it did not in 2018.
D’Allesandro exhorted his colleagues in the Senate to make 2018 the year that his proposal would finally go through, vowing that he would not be bringing it forth again. But the longtime legislator, who began his public service in the state House in 1974, was thwarted once again as it failed on an 11-10 vote.
He submits a bill for Casinos every session. We typically get some prodding from the local opposition. And a string of articles follows extolling the virtue of a casino-less New Hampshire landscape. But we didn’t need to invest much if any bandwidth in blocking Lou ‘Millenial Gaming‘ D’Allesandro’s 2018 effort to plant Casinos in New Hampshire, mostly because no one prodded us.
There are a lot of bills and a lot of issues crammed into the first few months of every year, and we’d like to cover more of them, but we need more writers for that. SO, as an aside, if you happen to be a conservative (a real one) a Conservatarain, or even a libertarian who like to write on news, politics, and culture, I’d like to hear from you.
And yes, we can post your content anonymously under some clever handle. Yes, you can submit material, and we will handle all the backend stuff like editing, images, publication and social media sharing (though it helps if you can do some of those things).
Alternately you can send that excellent facebook screed, your Press Release, or random rants on issues of Conservative interest and we might post that for you.
There are no guarantees, of course. But we love sharing content that fits our mission, and if you’d like to reach a larger audience, we’re the only outlet for your voice. We have the (rapidly expanding) reach to make your words make more of a difference in New Hampshire, and increasingly, across the nation.
Even when we’re talking about Gambling which is one of those rare issues that has bi-partisan support and opposition. Republican Sen. Harold French is a fan while Sen. Martha Fuller Clark of Portsmouth opposes it. Not on moral grounds mind you. Her concern is that Casino’s will suck resources away from existing Granite State attractions, a problem that does not translate to her feelings about out-of-state non-resident voters who suck Granite State wages away to Washington when they vote for Democrats.
Next time the Cason bill might pass. We’d like to have your help promoting cultural common sense, economic issues, and regulatory reforms that make gimmicky Casino bill a thing of the past.
And, yay!, the Casino bill failed.
