Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield, This week, the House met to consider all bills that need to go to another committee. The most significant was HB1696, continuing the expanded Medicaid program another two years, past its current sunset of 12/31/16. This was something I’m wholly opposed to, since expanded Medicaid is for able bodied, childless adults under 65 who earn less than 138% of the federal poverty level. Since this is less than a full time worker at Walmart’s would make, it’s clear that this program is for people who choose not to work full time – or who are working “under the table” or otherwise have un-reportable income. We all know of people who enjoy this program so much that they have chosen not to work any more – from the dishwasher who refuses overtime to the small business person who declines jobs once he’s reached the Medicaid income limit.

 

I spoke against this, since it’s a very poor bargain for the state. Traditional Medicaid, requires one to be be poor and have another contributing factor: disability, severe illness, or pregnancy. New Hampshire has negotiated full coverage for this population at about $6,000/year: the expanded Medicaid population is expected to cost $10,000/year for able bodied, childless adults.

 

If you qualify you’re not working full time – and I can’t see that we should prioritize health care for these people over the handicapped or developmentally disabled, who will suffer if the state chooses to spend more on healthy adults. After an extended debate, and a number of amendments, HB1696 passed, 207-135, even though all representatives from the district opposed it.

 

Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details than fit here.

Letter To The Editor

 

The Board of Selectman of Epsom would like to thank the residents who came out to the Deliberative Session. The discussion was lively and positive. We would also like to thank the people who came out to support the articles discussed, including the committee responsible for almost a year and a half worth of work preparing plans which led to Article I, regarding a Town Office building.

 

Epsom will be placing their vote for Article I as proposed on March 8th. The article includes some unique financing options that would save Epsom taxpayers $75,000 in interest by using excess funds from an unreserved fund balance account. Article I is supported by the Board of Selectmen and the Budget Committee.

 

Options to Article I include continuing to rent space at the current location, which would cost taxpayers $457,000 over the next ten years and a total of $1,071,400 over the next 20 years with no ownership of a building. Choosing to build reduces the cost to the taxpayer down to $427,000. The plans allow for future growth of the town and its municipal needs.

 

The plan calls for the new Town Offices building to be built on land next to the Police Station.

 

The 2016 Warrant is available on the Town of Epsom website, www.epsomnh.org, listed under public notices. Please contact the Board of Selectmen or the Town Office if you have any questions. The phone number is 603-736-9002.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Joanne Randall
