Belknap County – screws up again!

A couple of years ago, the Belknap County Delegation got caught short by trying to have a public meeting – without properly "noticing" / publicizing it properly.  Well, the next meeting on the County Budget was suppose to be tomorrow night. Well gues what – bagged again!  From yesterday’s Laconia Daily Sun was this notice: … Read more

The NH Rail Transit Authority: LET’S GET RID OF IT!

Why? Lots of reasons. But let me let State Rep. John Hikel explain why. As vice chairman of the State House Transportation Committee, no one explains it better than Rep. Hikel:

Passenger rail a boondoggle for New Hampshire taxpayers

By Rep. John Hikel

As a candidate for State Representative, I joined many who were elected in promising to be more careful with taxpayer money than our predecessors, who managed to grow government by 25 percent in just four years.  As a legislature, we have taken numerous steps to ensure that we watch every tax dollar that the state will spend to make sure it is delivering value.

For this reason, it is critical that we abolish the New Hampshire Rail Transit Authority (NHRTA) before it can…

New Hampshire and the Sacred Power of Jury Nullification

What appears immediately below is a text of an email I have sent to three lawyers I know on the State House Judiciary Committee.

Guest Post: Richard Olson Jr. “Send In The Clowns”

While the UL’s Mark Hayward story gives a description of some of the things the bill would allegedly do, the story also contains statements that the leadership disavowed this piece of legislation. Regardless of where one stands either supporting HB 523 or HB 330, it is clear that Republicans agree to disagree on some levels.

Mike Farley Uses “The Template”

So is Mike ‘concerned?’ Or is Mr. Farley either the biggest wuss in Manchester (and given the democrat company he likely keeps that is saying something) or is he employing the template of fear, using children as bait, to scare parents into doing his bidding–the work of making guns the thing we should fear, even in the hands of trained law abiding persons?

Brunelle Is A Distraction

My previous post on the pending investigation of Mike Brunelle was to poke fun at the lefts hypocrisy on the influence of money, anticipate the caterwauling, and suggest a course for clarifying the meaning of the text. In the intervening days, it seems obvious that I left some points out, some made by democrats.

The Historic State House session

It seems to me that the next two years are going to be extraordinary in the state legislature. The Democrats, as we all know, have run the state off a fiscal cliff in the past four years, and now the Republicans have been brought in to clean up the mess. The Republicans traditionally have acted as the "responsible tax collectors" for the Democrats, raising taxes in order to pay the bills that the socialists run up. Not this time, though. And that brings up an important idea….

Mike Earmark Brunelle To Be Investigated

The democrats are probably already crying like a toddler who just lost their balloon. (Ironic that they wont have to pay a fine.) But we should look at this seriously and in a context that the progressives understand.

What’s Good For The Goose..

Tom Fahey quotes our confused friend Harrell Kirstein, Spokesperchild of the New Hampshire democrat party in regard to Bill O’Brien’s choices for leadership positions in the NH House. (I have to call Harrell the Spokesperchild from now on. Spokesperson has the word ‘son’ in it and we know how sensitive Harrell’s spleen is.)

It’s Official!!

State Representative Bill O’Brien (R-Mt Vernon) was just elected as the Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, a positive step towards solid, consistent, Conservative leadership in New Hampshire’s government for the next 2 years.

I like this – a new Caucus in the NH House

FRESHMEN LEGISLATORS ORGANIZE NATURAL RIGHTS CAUCUS
Caucus to focus first on training lawmakers, then on uniting behind laws to secure individual rights

CONCORD, N.H.?A group of principled New Hampshire Legislators has organized a Natural Rights Caucus to ensure that an effective freshmen class can work with senior members to advance legislation that guarantees equal treatment under the law and defends individual rights to life, liberty and property.

The non-partisan Natural Rights Caucus, which will be narrowly focused on laws that advance the principles in Part I, Article 2 of the New Hampshire Constitution, held its first official meeting on Saturday, Nov. 27 in Concord to help freshmen members learn how to be successful in the House and Senate. Former Rep. Don Gorman, a four-term House member, led the training meeting that attracted a committed group of about 20 state Legislators during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

“It was very rewarding to lead a group of legislators who truly want to do what’s best for the people of New Hampshire,” Gorman said. “The dialogue was superior during the training session, and I’m confident this caucus is going to be influential in the state Legislature.”

To be clear, the Natural Rights Caucus will focus first on training its freshmen members leading up to the 2011-2012 Legislative session. Training will include lessons on proper decorum and rules of order, how to provide efficient testimony in committees, how to build effective coalitions, and how to avoid being intimidated or misled by senior members, agencies or lobbyists.

Members of the Natural Rights Caucus will then use their training to work as a voting bloc during the session. The caucus will be dedicated to preserving the rights of all New Hampshire citizens as articulated in Part I, Article 2 of the New Hampshire Constitution: “All men have certain natural, essential and inherent rights, among which are, the enjoying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing, and protecting property; and in a word, of seeking and obtaining happiness. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of race, creed, color, sex or national origin.”

The Natural Rights Caucus was founded last week by Representatives-elect…

A Presentation of Ideas Concerning New Republican Leadership in the NH House of Representatives – Part 3

Part 3 of a three part series of Guest Posts by the Honorable Paul Mirski, member of the NH House of Representatives (and one of the Fathers of Conservatism here in NH). He is seeking to be the Majority Leader in the NH House of Representatives.

  •  Part Three suggests five or six overriding legislative themes and then goes on to provide a basket of  choices for legislative action that are drawn directly from our current Republican Party Platform.  If members consider all of the media focus on Tea Party initiatives over the last 18 months, they will see that those Republicans who began rewriting our platform eight years ago were well ahead of the curve.We’re ready right this minute to create change. We don’t have to go searching for ideas.

PART 3

Proposed Republican Initiatives for the 2011 – 2012 Legislative Session:

The idea that all individuals ought to be able to seek and achieve their unique destinies is our core belief.

The Republican Party was founded by abolitionists to end slavery. We should be proud of our Party’s freedom legacy.  We must re-dedicate ourselves to our Party’s originating ideas and ideals if we’re to grow and thrive once again as a political force.
 
In conformance with the broad range of ideals, goals, and objectives outlined within our Republican Party Platform, here’s a presentation of numerous legislative initiatives that have been suggested by legislators, candidates and activists that could form the nucleus of a 2011-2012 Republican legislative agenda. The first six address money issues and were drawn from the expanded list below their listing. The first year of the coming session should focus primarily on spending and taxation.

Six Initiatives to get control of State spending:

  • Prioritize ALL functions of government and analyze costs accordingly.
  • Repeal all unwarranted increases in size and cost of government enacted during the 2007–2008 and 2009-2010 sessions.
  • Repeal all related tax and fee increases enacted during the 2007–2008 and 2009 2010 sessions.
  •  Initiate Sunset Review for all state agencies.
  • Reform New Hampshire’s State Employees’ Pension System
  • Return oversight and control over curriculum, administration, and funding of education to the smallest forms of political subdivision capable of educating New Hampshire’s children.

Education Reform:
