Lynch Lies Some More

Lynch Lied...oftenHe lied about the confab being for campaign contributions, he lied about the deficit and spending, he lied about balancing the budget, the "surplus" meme is a lie in the context with which he’s applied it, he stood for parental rights then shot them down, he said he was against broad based taxes but signed on to RGGI which is a broad based energy tax on every family and business in the state, he was against gay marriage until–undoubtedly now–the gay lobby bought or extorted his vote, he claims to have lowered school drop out rates but never mentioned that he also changed the way they are measured (which makes his numbers look better than they are), and now he is accusing John Stephen of raising fees–and what do you know, that’s a lie as well.

The Union Leader editorial this morning reveals the facts about the latest Lynch Lie, the fees were not increased they were simply reauthorized. 

 "The department’s rules authorizing it to charge lab fees had expired. Stephen simply sought re-authorization for continuing to charge fees the state had always charged."

What else?  New fees were instituted by the legislature, and Stephen by law was required to administer them.  Yet according to the republicans for lying governors, and their democrat fellow travelers, John Stephen raised fees? 

…legislators passed SB 108, which mandated new fees for newborn screening tests. The bill states that “the commissioner of the department of health and human services shall establish fees, pursuant to RSA 541-A, to be paid by hospitals for the tests required under paragraph I.” Lynch knew that bill increased fees. He signed it into law. Now he’s trying to claim that Stephen unilaterally invented the fees that Lynch, by signing the bill, ordered him to create.

There are more examples, and in each case the Lynch claim is..well..a lie.  But we should not be surprised by this.  After six years in Concord, this governor has gotten comfortable with the politics before the people,  so perhaps from now on we should just refer to him as the dishonorable John Lynch.
