To the Twitter troll who insisted that there was a lack of or incomplete paid for notations on the Asian’s for Trump signs that we reported were being destroyed. I don’t see anything filed with the NH AG about that problem, but I did find this.

“Stare At Your Cell Phone For an Hour” House Committee Member Ann Kuster
An update on the ground about Ann Kuster’s service to New Hampshire in Congress. So what does your current representative do in Congress all day? Who knows. I’m there a good bit of the time and stop in to check in on what [AnnKuster is]doing. She’s only on one committee. Energy and Commerce and I … Read more
About That Charter Schools Funding
From the Daily Caller. A charter schools advocacy organization in New Hampshire has captured video showing (New Hampshire) Democrat Mary Stuart Gile, who chairs the education committee in the state’s House of Representatives, apparently changing her position on charter schools in a four-minute flash. Opponents of the bill want to see the bill fail because … Read more
Save HB 540 – Biannual Auto Inspections [updated]
It’s not unsafe. It will not turn into a short film titled ‘Death on The Highway II,’ but it will save everyone a few hours and a few bucks. It’s HB 540, the bill to move New Hampshire from annual auto inspections to every other year.
Opponents have come up with all kinds of reasons why we shouldn’t do this but my favorite was this; that an inspector might have to let something go that was not yet in violation but that could become a violation before the next inspection. So we’re all unsafe, irresponsible dopes? No sense of self preservation apparently either. We just drive along until the next inspection….I don’t think so but nice try. The other classes of opponents are bureaucrats and rent seeking mechanics who enjoy state mandated visits to their repair shops. I’ve no time for them either.
Then there is this. It is testimony from Rep Steve Vaillancourt, a fellow Blogger at NH Insider, and a guy who can post more content than me on a good day. He’s also someone with whom I disagree on most social issues, but we see eye to eye on taxes and spending (as far as I can tell), and on HB 540.
Here is Steve’s testimony before the Senate Committee, courtesy of BikerBill (on the jump). It’s only three plus minutes so check it out. Then check out Steve’s Blog at NHI and Bill’s Youtube Channel, both worthy excursions across the New Hampshire Political Landscape.
And don’t forget to contact the committee to tell them you support HB 540. And remember to be polite.
