Dear Fellow Voters:
In November, you will have a choice to make. Who
will you pick to take on Barack Obama and end the liberal,
tax-and-spend stranglehold on Washington?
You can choose a Republican who fought for state-run
health care while Governor, but now laughingly claims to want to
repeal ObamaCare.
You can choose a candidate who cosponsored a bill to
forcibly unionize government workers nationwide by federal mandate -
but now wants to claim the mantle of "Tea Party" champion.
You can choose a Governor who has been on record in
favor of taxpayer subsidies for illegal immigrants and has doubled
his state’s debt.
Or you can choose the one candidate in the race who
can honestly say that he is a lifelong, true, pro-life, pro-gun,
constitutional conservative.
They say people can tell the real deal when they see
one. I sure hope so, because that’s what Ron Paul is.
If you agree with his vision for America’s future
when you finish this letter, I hope you’ll support Ron Paul at this
crucial time in the race for President of the USA.
I will call this letter Ron Paul # 1. There will be
more on Ron Paul in the near future.

Letter
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and
Pittsfield:
The House met in session this week to take up some
late introduced bills and vetoes. The rules were suspended, 267-98,
to allow two redistricting bills, HB592 and HCO1, to report out
late. The redistricting committee is just starting its public
hearings now, one in each county. HB653, which reduces spending by
the $35 million we have to return to Medicare, was allowed to report
out on February 23.
By then the 2011 fiscal year will be closed out,
revenues for half of 2012 will be known, and we’ll know how much of
a problem there is.
HB652, establishing a commission to oversee the
transition to managed care for Medicaid, was thoroughly debated; I
voted for it because it explicitly states that the program must
cover all Medicaid populations, which the department is waffling
about.
SB198, including Social Security disability income
in the eligibility calculation for welfare, was a technical
correction which had been included in the budget, but not in HB2.
The debate was on the amendment, which strengthened language in HB2
that marital masters were not to be reappointed and vacancies were
to be filled by judges.
The problem is that any amended bill needs Senate
approval, and they are not likely to return this year. I voted for
it because I remembered from HB2 that any savings would go to the
hospitals for unreimbursed care, and I have found marital masters
problematic. The amendment was finally adopted and the bill passed,
237-126. I later found out that my memory was faulty: revenue
increases will go to the hospitals, but lower spending can be used
for anything.
Governor Lynch’s veto of SB91, prohibiting towns or
planning boards from requiring sprinklers in residences, was
overridden 266-61. Since the Senate has already voted to override
this veto, SB91 is now law.
