derryfiredepthampsteadroadToday the Union Leader reported that a group in Derry is going to hold a rally for the Derry Fire Department before the Derry Town Council’s vote on thebudget (even inviting union members from out-of-town).

Education Bill ALERT: HB 323 Compromise in Jeopardy

State-House-nhwatchdog

Guest post from Michelle Levell:

HB 323, the waiver bill, has been an extremely complicated and contentious bill all year. Multiple amendments have been proposed, but only one offered an acceptable compromise, the Bradley amendment, #1572s. Only this amendment specifically allows the SAT or ACT to be used as the 11th grade statewide assessment and closes the vague “such as” and “well established” loop-holes of other amendments. The Bradley amendment reduces testing, respects parents’ rights to refuse their child’s participation, and satisfies superintendents’ requests to use the SAT or ACT.

NH BOE’s Bill Duncan is lying and working against children and parental rights

Final DuncanTodaySchool Choice for New Hampshire’ wrote about the latest compromise in House Bill 323 – “An Act relative to the administration of the statewide assessment program.” Proponents of the original bill want to take local control out of the hands of parents and school boards and have it at a regional level. Opponents are fighting against this because school districts need to be controlled at the local level, not by some bureaucrats who have no idea what is going on in the district.

The Hypocrisy, intolerance and deplorable treatment of Yvonne Dean-Bailey by Maureen Mann and Democrats

manndeanbailyMay 19th will be a special election in Rockingham District 32 which incorporates Nottingham, Northwood, Deerfield and Candia. The candidates in the running are Yvonne Dean-Bailey (Republican) and Maureen Mann (Democrat).

Maureen Mann is a former state rep who lost her re-election bid which means she has a voting record. Yvonne Dean-Bailey is a college student running for the first time. The differences between the two is like night and day. Mann is fully on board with bigger government, higher taxes and less freedom while Dean-Bailey is for smaller government, lower taxes and more freedom.

Another twist in the ‘Balsams Boondoggle’: The financing scam

balsams3

On Wednesday a huge majority in the New Hampshire House voted to pass Senate Bill 30 aka the “Balsams Bill.” The bill allows “unincorporated places” to become a tax district, which also means they can now get funding from the state and have all taxpayers foot the bill if the deal fails. Of course, many legislators don’t want it to be referred to as the “Balsams Bill” but this bill didn’t come up any other year until developer Les Otten had his hand out demanding the state front a bond for him or he wouldn’t bother developing – “Plan B is Plan A.”

Bogus pistol license poll used by Democrats mocks their constituents

hirschYesterday Senate Bill 116 aka ‘Constitutional Carry’ was passed in the New Hampshire House by a vote of 212-150. Even though this bill was passed by both the Senate and house, Governor Hassan said she will vote against the will of the people and veto it. In her statement she states “citizens across New Hampshire, have strong public safety concerns about allowing people to carry concealed guns without a license.” Which leads one to believe she has read a bogus poll that recently came out.

‘Balsams Boondoggle’ continues with hearing on Senate Bill 30

balsamsYesterday the New Hampshire House Finance Committee held a public hearing on Senate Bill 30 (SB 30). The bill is “AN ACT relative to the establishment of redevelopment districts in unincorporated places.” It also changes the amount of the bonds the state can guarantee from $25,000,000 to $28,000,000 (the exact amount “needed” for the Balsams project to move forward) among other things.

What most people are calling this bill is “The Balsams Bill” or the “Balsams Bailout Bill.” Why? Because this bill never came up until the developer of the Balsams, Les Otten, informed the locals that he would need $28 million in order to move forward with his Balsams project.
