Letter
To my constituents in
Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,
This week, the House met
for the last planned session this year. The first issue was an
“enrolled bill” amendment on SB66, the fetal homicide bill,
correcting some language that seemed to allow a pregnant woman to
murder anyone with impunity. It was debated at length, with most of
the opposition from individuals who opposed the bill originally. A
motion to table failed, 177-190, and the amendment passed, 196-173.
The real action was on
the budget, now in HB144 and HB517 rather than HB1 and HB2, which
remain on the table. The Senate sent it to us at 11 am, and after an
hour of largely partisan debate, we passed HB144, 198-169. Of
course, I voted for it- committee chairs are expected to, but I
would have anyway since it includes tax cuts and even a total
repeal. HB517, the trailer bill, after a shorter debate, passed
212-161.
SB191, establishing keno
and funding full day kindergarten, was debated on peculiar bases.
Most of the opponents supported kindergarten but disliked relying on
keno, but some were opposed to full day kindergarten. Since I don’t
like expanding the state’s obligations, I voted against the
combination. It passed regardless, 251-111.

Build a Better World is
the theme for the Epsom Library’s Adult Summer Reading Program
(ASRP) which gets under way this week. Sign up at the circulation
desk, pick up the pamphlet and get reading! For each book you read
or listen to, fill out a coupon for the gift card raffle at the end
of the program in August. You are not required to read any number
of books or a particular genre but adding your reads to the raffle
jar improves your chances of winning.
Our first evening program
for the ASRP is a returning favorite – Liz Barbour of Creative
Feasts. She will be at the library Monday, July 10 at 7:00 with her
“Feasting From the Cookbook” presentation. She just published her
new cookbook “Beautifully Delicious: Cooking with Herbs and Edible
Flowers,” and will be preparing a couple of recipes from the book
for those attending. We have to let her know how many will be
coming for grocery shopping purposes so we MUST have sign ups at the
front desk by July 5. If you can’t come to the library to sign up,
please call 736-9920 and ask us to register you.
