Letter
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
This week the House and Senate met to approve the budget and all
other bills agreed between the chambers. Dan and I both spoke in
favor of the budget, since it was vastly better than the original
House version: realistic revenue estimates, no new taxes or fees,
increased funding for charter schools and schools with high growth
in enrollment, and Medicaid expansion studied, not implemented. The
“back of the budget” cuts that some people railed against were
actually small percentages of the budget, well within the range good
management can handle. The budget passed 337-18, and HB2, the
trailer bill, passed 346-12. Most of those voting against either
bill were fiscal hawks upset that spending increased as much as 3%!
All the other bills where the committees reached agreement passed. I
spoke against HB124, because Senate added a special allowance for
the director and assistant director of homeland security, allowing
them to retain Group II pension status (police, fire , corrections)
in this desk job. Despite the fact that we had killed this provision
earlier, HB124 passed, 192-156, on largely party lines.
The Merrimack County executive committee and delegation met to
review the first quarter financial statements (right on track) and
appropriate money for the raises contained in the new union
contracts. Nursing home employees got raises of 2.5-1.5-1.5%, their
first since 2011; jail employees got 2.5-2-2%, their first since
2009. I voted for the jail contract because they had cleaned up a
lot of contract language, including a new schedule to minimize
overtime, and also because it was funded largely by an allowance for
litigation over various labor issues, which were settled by the
contract.
Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details
than can fit here.

Town Of Epsom Receives Assistance To Firefighters Grant
The Town of Epsom would like to announce the approval of a grant
awarded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the
Department of Homeland Security, the 2012 Assistance to Firefighters
Grant.
The grant money will be used to pay for Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for
the Epsom Fire Department. The total cost of this equipment is
$256,205.00, 95% of which will be covered by the FEMA grant.
Emergency Management Director and Fire Fighter, Rick Bilodeau, has
applied for this same grant since 2006 and has not been awarded the
grant until this year. The grant saved Epsom taxpayers $243,395.00.
The purpose of the Assistance to Firefighters Program is to protect
the health and safety of the public and firefighting personnel
against fire-related hazards.
