Did that title get anyone’s attention? Hopefully, it will get Tim Lang’s sometime before the senate meets this Thursday, May 2. On the agenda is the dastardly RTK Tax, known as HB 1002, which Tim Lang supports.
We know that Judiciary Chair Sharon Carson moved OTP, and her four peers went along with it. Shame on her and the two gentlemen lawyers on that committee! But shame on Tim Lang also! I found it necessary to shame him to his peers in, but let’s talk about Tim for a moment and the background to this article’s title.
Tim is a member of the Senate Education Committee and was captured in Allison Dyer’s video montage when he asked the NTU lobbyist if teachers had an obligation, to be honest with parents and was given word salad for an answer, both to his question and even more snarky one to his follow up. Keep in mind, dear readers, that this is the kind of treatment that Laurie Ortolano and her affiliates regularly receive from city hall.
SB 272, which was the senate counterpart of newly deceased HB 10, died an unfortunate death in the House when it was “indefinitely postponed.” I leave it to you to look up what that means and why, as Senator Gray would say, “butts in seats” matters when the House is in session, but let’s get back to Tim.
Because another Parental Bill of Rights cannot be resubmitted until after the next election, Tim cleverly repackaged it and filed it as SB 341 with a new name. Most people already know this, but I’ll point out again that I don’t have kids, but I made a special trip to Concord to speak in support of SB 341. Not only did I do that, but I also made reference to his 3/7/23 question to the NTU lobbyist while at the mic speaking to him and the rest of his committee on 1/4/24. This was something Tim and I agreed on, and I was happy to, as Nurse Terese would say, “lift him up in battle”(for parental rights).
Allison and I live in the same city as Laurie Ortolano, and it would be nice if Tim would “lift us up in battle”(against Nashua City Hall’s fortress of secrecy), especially considering that 2/3 of the city is being misrepresented in the senate by the mayor’s friend, neighbor, and water carrier, Rosenwald.
Public records should be open to the public, and Tim wants to tax access to them. So, back to the question, “How would Tim like to pay a Report Card Tax?”
