Letter


To My Constituents In Allenstown, Epsom, And Pittsfield:
Tuesday ED&A voted on eleven bills, nine of them about the retirement system. We debated three: HB1277, yet again extending the window for teachers to receive medical subsidies, was voted to kill 13-4. HB1428, extending death benefits even after remarriage, was recommended to pass 14-4. HB1530 would limit pensionable compensation to regular pay, omitting overtime, sick pay, and so on. It was killed, 12-5, but I voted for it. I don’t support this bill exactly, but something must be done. Towns and school districts need to change their policy on accumulating sick leave and vacation pay for “severance.” That inflates the pensions of those able to save up sick leave, at the expense of everyone in the state.


Wednesday was a long session. HB1444, a bill to allow prescription drugs from Canada, was sent back to committee, after failing to be killed, 153-177, in the first of 33 roll call votes. HB1274, restoring $5M per year of rooms and meals tax revenue to towns and cities failed to be killed 174-184, then passed 189-169. I voted for it both times and was the only Representative from this district to support it. HB1274, which restored $25M per year in revenue sharing to the cities and towns, was killed 191-172. HB1621, prohibiting lobbyists from serving on boards or agencies, failed 215 -147 despite seeming so obvious.


Two constitutional amendments limiting taxes failed. HB1594, repealing the gambling tax, failed 184-181. A series of bills to repeal new taxes, at various points from 2010 to 2014, all failed. I was the only Representative from this district to support any of these.

 
Anyone interested in what’s going on at the State House is invited to email or call me; those who’d like a more detailed report than I can fit in The Sun should email me for my newsletter.


Representative
