Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,

This week, the House had its last session day, to vote on the committee of conference reports. It was a little easier than most sessions, because these reports cannot be amended, only voted yes or no.

 

HB 317, requiring legislative approval to the systems benefit charge, was debated as a partisan issue, with the opponents emphatically opposed to anything that might delay or interfere with their planned transition to 100% renewable power. It was not tabled, 158-180, then passed on a voice vote. I spoke in support of the committee of conference report on HB 1565, accrediting the secure psychiatric unit as a behavioral health facility. The opposition was the sponsor, who argued that this continued to criminalize mental illness; my main point was that we weren’t considering building a secure psychiatric hospital in this bill (no money, no plan – we don’t even know how big it should be!) and that accreditation would assure that the treatment given was appropriate and that patients were well treated. The House agreed with me on a voice vote.

 

My committee’s HB 1415, which the committee of conference had amended to include both the House line of duty death benefit for school employees and the Senate $10 million appropriation for school emergency readiness, was not debated but passed, 262-76. I spoke for our HB 1254, a study committee on code adoption, which was debated on the grounds that the moratorium on code changes impaired the committee’s work; it passed, 173-155.

 

Only two conference reports failed: HB 1614, which had been amended to include the non-governmental registration of non-resident semi-trailers, and SB 438, postponing local elections. Both were strongly opposed by local officials, and the votes showed it: 150-187 and 118-225.

Michael Briggs Spaghetti Dinner Thank You!!

 

We would like to extend our thanks to everyone involved with making our night a success.

 

We would like to start with the staff of Epsom Central school for volunteering their time and monies selflessly. Thank you Epsom Circle Market for your hard work in baking the Italian bread used for our garlic bread and the yummy cookies. Both were a great hit!  McBride’s Advantage was key in helping us get the word out that yet again, a blizzard changed our date. Much appreciation to them for changing their sign  for all onlookers and passers by at the traffic circle. And finally, a HUGE SHOUT OUT goes to Nam Knights, Manchester Police Department, Flowers For All Seasons, Davis Fuels of Epsom and the countless others who donated food, time, or funds to make this annual event the huge success that it was. We raised close to $2,000.00 and served 258 people! We truly appreciate the entire Epsom community,  and we couldn’t have done it without you.

 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Brodeur and Mrs. Donovan

Letter To The Editor

Guns Don’t Kill People, People Do

Seems simple, but is it?

 

I am a retired Air Force officer with a ribbon as a small arms expert.  My husband is a retired pilot, fighter pilot, educator, former hunter, and owner of many guns, including handguns, shot guns, and rifles.  I do not advocate taking guns away from him or any sensible, careful gun owner. 

 

But, I am sickened by the ongoing outbreaks of gun violence in schools and other gathering places.  There are too many young people dying at the hands of their peers.  It is an epidemic.  When faced with an epidemic of any type, action is mandatory.  This epidemic is no different. I am calling for action from our leaders.  I am calling for common sense actions. I guess I’m asking what can be done to prevent those “People who kill people” from doing so.  

 

In my mind, the first things that need to happen are communication and a readiness to compromise.  Let’s tone down the rhetoric and begin to consider options that both sides could accept. The pro-gun lobby and the anti-gun advocates need to work together and craft solutions.

 

Even conservative Justice Scalia did not feel the second amendment prevents laws from possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill or carrying firearms in sensitive places. We can support the second amendment and enact gun reform.

 

Some suggestions: universal background checks, 48H waiting period for gun purchases/transfers, permits for concealed carry, temporarily restrict certain people from owning a gun if signs of potential violence are present.  * Notice these are all aimed at control of people, not guns.

 

I for one am looking to our leaders to initiate the necessary conversations and I think we cannot wait. Governor Sununu, Senator Reagan, Representatives Klose, McQuire, and Brewster, are you listening?

 

Miriam Cahill-Yeaton,

Epsom
