Grokster Beth Scaer called attention to the NH Journal article about the (anti) Columbus Day bill, its recent committee hearing, and Dems’ shenanigans. She also pointed out to those not in the know that Catherine Sofikitis is her State Rep. Let’s talk about Ward 7 for a moment, shall we?

Avalon Lewis, a black immigrant from Barbados, worked very hard door-knocking as a first-time rep candidate in said district. He’s a good man and was well-received as per local comments I’ve heard. So, what happened? We all know by now that Nashua has 27 seats in the House and lost Ward 1’s Tom Lanzara, the only freshman, in a city-wide train wreck last November.
Sofikitis is as swampy as many of the Nashua swamp, and her antics are not new. Last term, she cosponsored a bill along with the infamous Jan Schmidt and their ilk, raising the minimum wage to $22.50/hour. I’ll step aside and let the Thomas Sowells and other real economists speak to that one for all of us. Sofikitis is also vicious and nasty to anyone who disagrees with her, no matter how plausible their talking points are. Did you know she’s a registered nurse? It would give me pleasure to see the weaponized state police zip-tie her and haul her off to the county jail instead of the clear-minded, righteous, and innocent Terese Grinnell RN.
Now for Sofikitis’s most recent nut job comment:
“I want to be brutally frank. There is not one person of color on this committee — not one. Racism matters.”
If Ward 7 had voted correctly and sent Avalon Lewis to Concord and perhaps sit on that committee, well, you get my point.
The NH Journal article also mentions Rep HORRible, um, I mean Tim Horrigan. His reputation speaks for itself. Also, there’s Rep Peter Petrigno, who told Elliot Axelman and the Liberty Block that the NH9 deserved their arrests when the whole legislature was emailed a questionnaire on what should be done about that travesty.
And lastly, to flavor up this House matter, let’s talk about the Senate and its senior swamp rat, Lou D’Allesandro. He actually made a good comment contrary to the above mentioned reps supporting Christopher Columbus. Just last month, he was the one to nominate SoS Scanlan to keep his job. Is there a pattern developing from these two oddities? Is D’Allesandro Concord’s own Senator Manchin? I won’t hold my breath, but as Nurse Terese would always say that nursing protocol often calls for “watchful waiting.”
