GrokTV: Conservative Republican Candidate Home Event: Kevin Leando

“Last but not least, MY favorite House candidate, Kevin Leandro from Gilford” – Barbara Aichinger. Mine too!

I served with him this last year on the Gilford Budget Committe – he was ALWAYS thinking of the taxpayers! No, not in “where’s their wallets” but in protecting taxpayer’s private property (their money) from those that had no problem in spending it all in the name of “It’s for the common good” or “It’s for the Quality of Life”. He showed me an absolute bulldog sense of taking on anyone that he perceived as being in the wrong or spending for the wrong reasons. No, he didn’t always win all of the battles, but like the Prior Marine he is, it was always find the target and move forward!

I can guarantee that he will make his presence known on the floor of the Hall of Representatives – as opposed to the other Gilford candidate (registered Independent and almost always seemingly put his finger to the wind to see which way the political winds were blowing). Principles set, locked and loaded, you will never doubt where he will stand and never doubt his Conservative values. My personal friend, Kevin Leandro:

HB1279 – “AN ACT relative to voting rights of certain budget committee members”

From the text of the bill (actually, this is pretty much most of it): 1 Budget Committee Membership. Amend RSA 32:15, I(b) to read as follows:

(b) One member of the governing body of the municipality and, if the municipality is a town, one member of the school board of each school district wholly within the town and one [~~member~~] commissioner of each village district wholly within the town, all of whom shall be appointed by their respective boards to serve for a term of one year and until their successors are qualified. Each such member shall serve as a non-voting member and may be represented by an alternate member designated by the respective board, who shall, when sitting, have the same authority as the regular member.

While I was in Concord this week, I ran into ‘Grok, friend NH State Rep. Mark Warden, who is one of the sponsors of the bill and asked him “why the changes for SB2 Budget Committee?” since I have been an elected BudComm member in my hamlet for the past 6 years. Note: never again will I do an interview in a stairwell – apologies for the poor audio – but that was the only place we could find with decent lighting and a lack of foot traffic):

I also had the chance last night to quickly interview fellow BudComm member, Kevin Leandro, as he had given testimony to Mark Warden’s House Committee:
