Rumor has it Geno Marconi opposed developing offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine. I have also heard from fishermen (through a third party) that Geno opposed the redevelopment of Rye Harbor, which would wipe out the shacks and kick out local business owners. If that’s true, it is no mystery why Geno was put … Read more
There has been a lot of talk on social media and around town. I thought I would share a little and offer some insight to folks. Rye Harbor, Hampton Harbor, and the Portsmouth Commercial Pier are all managed by the Pease Department Authority. Please see my attached image of who the board members are and … Read more
The Pease Development Authority (PDA) manages coastal development in New Hampshire. It derives this power from Section 12-G:43 – Division of Ports and Harbors. As an expression of this power, the PDA has set its sights on Rye Harbor, which we’ve reported on previously here and here. In my remarks I expressed concern for the … Read more
If I hadn’t heard rumors about Geno Marconi’s concerns and, some would say, opposition to the Gulf of Maine Wind Boondoggle and Pease development plans for Rye Harbor, I’d think this was legitimate. I don’t. Concord, NH – New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella announces that New Hampshire Supreme Court Associate Justice Anna Barbara … Read more
I have been independently investigating the Pease Development Authority – Division of Ports and Harbors [PDA-DPH] regarding decisions and process issues that I believe are unfair and discriminatory and appear to violate New Hampshire state law. This matter was brought to my attention by a Rye Harbor fisherman who had concerns that the one business … Read more
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield: This week, the House and Senate met for the last scheduled session for this year (a veto session is possible.) With minimal debate and voice votes, we passed 30 bills, including three from my committee.
Well, today was Budget Day in the House, and we learned how the House Democrat Majority and their Finance Committee took a perfectly reasonable and fiscally responsible budget presented by the Governor and turned it into an absolutely irresponsible tax and spend trainwreck. We started off playing really nicely together and voting for HB-25-A which … Read more
The New Hampshire General Court (i.e. our legislature) has finished its work for this year (except for a veto override session in the Fall). I have crunched the numbers – i.e. the voting records of 2024 – to determine objectively which members are RINOs – Republicans In Name Only.
With the final day of the session past us, it is time to reminisce (cue misty dream sequence) about the past few months. We’ve been sharing – to the dismay of some – a weekly list of Republicans who missed roll call votes (and how many). Today, we have two lists. The Republicans voted in … Read more
The New Hampshire General Court (i.e., our legislature) has reached “crossover.” The House has acted on all its bills and has started to deal with Senate Bills. The Senate has done the converse.
Thursday is session day, and if you missed Judy Aron’s round-up this morning, make a note to check that out (right after you’ve finished looking to see if your rep missed any roll call votes or if they missed a lot of them).
In NH, we are blessed with an Executive Council: 5 elected representatives who review and approve (along with the Governor) significant government expenditures and contracts. They are a line of defense against unethical and illegal spending.

…The entire premise behind population control is based on the faulty logic that humans are not valuable resources. The fact of business is that humans are what the late Julian L. Simon called the ultimate resource. That fact becomes apparent by pondering this question: Why is it that Gen. George Washington did not have cellphones … Read more
URGENT Please call your Executive Councilor and tell him to vote NO on retroactive funding for Planned Parenthood! Planned Parenthood was defunded in New Hampshire in 2015. The people of NH made their voices heard after the shocking videos exposing the selling of baby body parts by Planned Parenthood. Now the State of New Hampshire … Read more
This is useful and entertaining. It includes links to things that the authors have claimed are a result of Global Warming or will be caused by it. There is also a dead links list below, that includes things caused by Global warming but for which the link is no longer active–but someone made the claim in print … Read more
Over the past 5 years Sen. Kelly Ayotte has proven herself to be a threat to local control, local politics, state sovereignty, the party platform, and our State and Federal Constitutions. Perhaps not as much of a threat as Maggie Hassan but the bar is set so low at this point as to be more … Read more
Someone, bless their heart, has compiled a well-sourced (their words) list of 519 examples of Barack Obama’s lying, corruption, law-breaking and cronyism. I am posting it as is with the understanding that it may take me days or even weeks to go through it, if I ever do manage to get through it. I encourage … Read more
