"When the next legislative session opens, it is critical that lawmakers restore to the state's university and community college systems the funds they cut in the last session." --from this editorial on Seacoastonline pointing out why education and training matter to New Hampshire's economy.

According to Granite State Progress, Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport voted against funding to restore the community college system of New Hampshire and Josh Davenport voted for an amendment that would cut an additional $2.4 million from the New Hampshire University System budget after it had already been cut by $48 million.* 


*Adam Schroadter was listed as "Not Voting" on this amendment.

A fair trade?

I sat at the Candidate's forum with my question in my hand. I hesitated to get up in the beginning, and was later beat to the microphone for the last couple of questions. My question involved women's rights, something that was barely mentioned during the 2 hour event so I left a little disappointed.

But I listened and it's taken a few days to decide how to put words to my feelings.

A theme that I've noticed lately (at the candidate's forum and in conversations with friends) is a separation between the economy and the "social agenda."

During the forum Adam Schroadter said that he was running as a pro-business candidate. He mentioned oyster farming, relaxing restrictions on home beer brewing and supporting the Polish Club in town as examples of his record. Sounds good, right?

But both he and Josh Davenport failed to mention their voting records on social issues.

So we get more oysters and home brewed beer in exchange for limited access to health care, dismantling women's rights, diverting money from public schools to private and religious schools, an expansion of the death penalty, guns in the Statehouse, legalized discrimination, a cumbersome and unnecessary voter ID law, guns on college campuses and a repeal of universal kindergarten. 

It's not just Newmarket. Ovide Lamontagne opposes gay marriage, opposes legal abortion, opposes funding for planned parenthood, supports turning Medicare into a voucher system, supports privatizing public education and supports abolishing the Department of Education while running as someone who will improve the state economy.

And it's even more obvious on the national stage--when my Republican friends tell me that they are socially liberal but are voting for Romney because of the economy they're basically saying lowering my taxes is more important than my GLBT friends, women's control over their own bodies or how we educate our kids. But he's a business guy, so it's ok?

What's hard for me to reconcile is that it's not like it's all or nothing with the economy--I hear people say that the recovery just hasn't happened fast enough or been strong enough or taxes aren't low enough. 

We can debate how much we should pay in taxes. I get that. 

But I'm not willing to debate what I can do with my body. Or what you can do with yours.

All candidates are pro-business. It's what they are "anti" that we can't ignore.

Right To Work
From Granite State Progress:

The New Hampshire General Court voted on whether to pass HB 474, the so-called "Right to Work" bill that would have jeopardized job-based health insurance, pensions and worker safety programs - important foundations for a healthy and productive work place that have largely been secured by organized work forces. The bill sought to interfere in private work place matters and bar employers and workers from arranging a fair share clause in contracts to help cover the collective bargaining costs of negotiating good jobs with good wages and benefits.(HB474, Roll Call #182, 5/4/2011)

This legislation has been criticized by opponents as anti-union and supporters have called it "worker freedom." You can read more about Right To Work here, here and here.

Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport both voted in favor of this bill. 
Marcia Moody and Patty Lovejoy voted against it.

Today my usual routine of "wake up and work on my blog post" was replaced by "wake up and work on my son's Halloween costume." 

I'm using that as my official excuse for not writing a proper blogpost today.

But the truth is, I have a lot on my mind. There's the school issues here in Newmarket. I'm still processing the Candidate's Forum from the other night. And I read this article in the Huffington Post that has really stuck with me--I urge you to read it.

Balance. When people talk about balancing the budget, I focus on the word "balance."

I imagine that one has to take a hard look at programs and make cuts where necessary, even if they are painful. And in order to further balance the budget, I imagine that it's necessary to find ways to bring in more revenue.

The current legislature did not BALANCE the budget, they CUT the budget, sacrificing programs and services and downshifting costs to towns like Newmarket. 

One example of this is reducing the cigarette tax. The legislature planned on an increase in sales which would offset the decrease in taxes even though it was ill-advised and hadn't worked in other states as reported in this article in the NY Times.

It didn't work. According to this article in The Eagle Tribune, the Department of Administrative Services show a $20.1 million drop in tobacco tax revenues. But to me, the kicker comes at the end of the article:

"But within 24 hours of the tax cut, manufacturer's raised prices 10 cents a pack--negating the benefit."

Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport supported reducing the cigarette tax--forgetting all about balance.

According to the Times article, "the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids estimates that if the New Hampshire cut were enacted it would mean more than $21 million in long-term health costs. The campaign also estimates a 10-cent drop per pack would result in 1,000 new young smokers in New Hampshire."

There was talk at last night's candidate's forum about being pro-business. 

I just wonder at whose expense?

In just 13 days we'll cast our ballots and elect the people we want to represent us. 

Tonight is your chance to hear firsthand what the local candidates for State Representative have to say.

Come to the Candidates' forum tonight in the Town Hall auditorium. There will be an informal meet and greet from 6:30-7:00pm, followed by a formal question and answer session from 7:00-9:00pm. 

See you there!

Representatives Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport both voted to expand the death penalty. 

The death penalty is one of those issues that people are either for or against and I'm not going to try and change any one's minds today. What I don't understand is how 2 of our representatives can fight so hard to eliminate a woman's right to a safe, legal medical procedure claiming to want to protect life, but then vote to support expanding the death penalty. 

It just doesn't make sense to me.

I've written twice now about gun bills and you can read those posts here and here. HB 536 is another example of the House's irresponsible policy on guns that eliminates the licensing requirement to carry a firearm.

Here's what that legislation would do:

• make a license to carry a firearm optional
• allow firearms to be carried or transported without a license --openly or concealed, loaded or unloaded
• reduces the fee for non-resident licenses from $100 to $20. 

It seems like common sense to me that a person should have a license to carry a gun, but Adam Schroadter didn't think so. He voted in favor of this bill. 

Marcia Moody and Patty Lovejoy both opposed this bill.

**Josh Davenport did not vote on this piece of legislation

The other day I mentioned that there are 3 Constitutional amendments on the ballot. The second amendment listed has to do with judicial oversight and authorizes the New Hampshire legislature to amend Supreme Court rules. 

This is how the ballot will read:

Are you in favor of amending article 73-a of the second part of the constitution to read as follows:[Art.] 73-a. [Supreme Court, Administration.] The chief justice of the supreme court shall be the administrative head of all the courts. The chief justice shall, with the concurrence of a majority of the supreme court justices, make rules governing the administration of all courts in the state and the practice and procedure to be followed in all such courts. The rules so promulgated shall have the force and effect of law. The legislature shall have a concurrent power to regulate the same matters by statute. In the event of a conflict between a statute and a court rule, the statute, if not otherwise contrary to this constitution, shall prevail over the rule.

Like most people, I haven't read the NH constitution (although I did just google it with every intention of trying to read it, but I took one look at it and thought, maybe another day.) 

So now I have to rely on my limited recall of how the government works. I seem to remember the idea of checks and balances and that we have 3 branches of government so that no one branch can become too powerful. I just don't understand how allowing the legislature to change the rulings of the NH Supreme Court holds true to that idea. 

I plan to vote NO on Question 2.

Executive Council

Have you heard of the Executive Council?

Wikipedia describes the powers of the executive council here. But these are the basics:

• It is a 5 person state board currently made up of 5 Republicans. 
• The Executive Council approves all state contracts over $5,000
• They approve all gubernatorial appointments (judges, members of state boards and commissions, etc.)

It's 5 people with a lot of power, even though most of us don't really know what they do.

In Newmarket (and Rockingham County) we are in District 3 and I urge you to consider Bill Duncan for Executive Council. According to his website, Bill is running "to bring balance back to state government.  I would put aside the social agenda and allow state government to work on important projects that create jobs, enhance our public education system and protect New Hampshire’s precious environment."

On his website, Bill highlights many of the issues facing New Hampshire and I want to mention one here: education. I first heard of Bill through the website that he launched, Defending New Hampshire Public Education and I've been a fan ever since. He has stated that he will work toward ensuring a quality education for all New Hampshire children:

"The legislature has cut funding for higher education in half, raising tuition on middle-class families by 10 percent; cut state support for local schools, increasing local property taxes; and even tried to block local school districts from accepting federal education funds. I will work to get local school districts federal education dollars that help offset local property taxes and will support education appointees who will fight for good public schools.  I will work with the New Hampshire Department of Education to advocate for the needs of people in my district, advocate in the legislature and closely review the critically important education nominations that will come up in the next two years – the commissioner and deputy commissioner of the Department of Education, three state board of education members and university system trustees."

These are issues critical to Newmarket--we need people in Concord who will fight for us.

Did you know that in addition to all the federal, state and local races there are 3 additional questions on the ballot?

These are the things that get me every time. They're written in "legalese", and often receive little to no media coverage in the weeks leading up to a vote. If I haven't heard about them earlier, trying to decipher them in the voting booth isn't going to be easy.

In the hopes of alleviating some of that voting booth pressure, you can read the text of the first Constitutional amendment, CACR 13, here. 

But if you're like me, you'll take one look at that and hit the back button. Because really, who wants to read that?

This is what it will look like on the ballot on November 6th:

“Are you in favor of amending the second part of the constitution by inserting after article 5-b a new article to read as follows: [Art.] 5-c. [Income Tax Prohibited.] Notwithstanding any general or special provision of this constitution, the general court shall not have the power or authority to impose and levy any assessment, rate, or tax upon income earned by any natural person; however, nothing in this Article shall be construed to prohibit any tax in effect on January 1, 2012, or adjustment to the rate of such a tax.”

If passed, this amendment would change the NH Constitution to prohibit the creation of a personal income tax. Granite State Progress explains the problem:

"CACR 13 – which will likely be listed as Question 2 on the ballot -- seeks to fix a problem that does not exist. Neither the Governor nor the Legislature has seriously considered an income tax in recent years, while prior efforts to adopt an income tax were stopped over the course of the normal legislative process. Enshrining CACR 13 in our constitution would tie the hands of future lawmakers and deny our children and grandchildren the opportunity to decide critical public issues for themselves. We do not know what challenges New Hampshire will face in the years ahead or how future taxpayers might choose to meet them. It should be up to them to select the approach that best suits their needs and then to hold their elected officials accountable.

Furthermore, CACR 13 would freeze New Hampshire’s tax system into place, making it almost impossible to address its existing shortcomings, to reduce its dependence on business and property taxes, or to generate revenue for even the most pressing priorities. Simply updating the tax system to account for inflation could become problematic if it was deemed to involve anyone’s income."

There are many advantages to having no income tax in New Hampshire, but do we really need a constitutional amendment to help make sure we never have one? What if, down the road, an income tax in some form will help relieve the burden on property tax? Do we want to keep our options open, or do we want to eliminate them?

I wrote about HB 1 a little while ago and you can read that post here.

As part of that bill, Josh Davenport and Adam Schroadter voted against funding for alcohol and drug abuse prevention and treatment.

I read this post on a Catholic blog and this quote struck me: "I believe care of those in need is a measure of the quality of any society."

If a budget says something about our priorities as a state, what does this say about ours?

The War on Women

UPDATE: It's not just Texas and North Carolina. I wrote this less than a year ago and while I'm grateful that the NH House is currently controlled by Democrats, that could easily change. 

We hear about the War on Women and tend to think that it's happening somewhere else. Maybe you think of Virginia with it's transvaginal ultrasound law or Wisconsin gutting equal pay for equal work and you don't think that it could happen here in NH. But make no mistake, it's happening right here in our own backyard.

The 2010 takeover of the NH House by the Tea Party brought fiscal ultra conservatism and a social agenda to match. 

Here are some of the items the NH House took on this year:

• Defunding Planned Parenthood, jeopardizing the health care of thousands of NH women.
• Requiring parental notification before a minor receives an abortion even in the case of rape, abuse or incest.
• Removing comprehensive preventative health services for women, including contraception, from benefits expected to be covered by health insurers.
• Allowing employers to deny coverage for contraception based on the employers' personal beliefs.
• Forcing doctors to provide false information to patients seeking abortions, including that abortion causes breast cancer.
• Banning abortion even when a woman's health is in danger.
• Prosecuting individuals who knowingly or unknowingly cause the death of a fetus, a bill that could make it difficult for women seeking fertility treatment.

Women fought this war 40 years ago so that I wouldn't have to. My generation hasn't lived in a world without Roe vs. Wade, never mind these other abuses of power by the legislature. 

Where will it end? What will you do to stop it?

I believe that every little bit helps. Use your voice to write a letter, tell your sisters and neighbors, call your representatives and most importantly VOTE on November 6th.

State Representatives Josh Davenport and Adam Schroadter supported all the bills listed above. Is this what we want for New Hampshire? Is this what you want for yourself, your wife or your daughters?

In Newmarket and Newfields, I urge you to vote for Marcia Moody, William Connery, Michael Cahill and Patty Lovejoy. Together we can protect our rights.

Planned Parenthood is a topic that has been in the news a lot recently.

Planned Parenthood provides "a wide range of safe, reliable health care — and more than 90 percent is preventive, primary care, which helps prevent unintended pregnancies through contraception, reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections through testing and treatment, and screen for cervical and other cancers. Caring physicians, nurse practitioners, and other staff take time to talk with clients, encouraging them to ask questions in an environment that millions have grown to trust."

The Republicans in the State House worked to defund Planned Parenthood in a couple different ways including HCR 41 and HB 228.

Here's my question: if the goal is to eliminate abortion, how does limiting access to birth control for thousands of women help to achieve that?

Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport jeopardized the health care of thousands of Granite State women by supporting these bills.

The gun laws passed by the current legislature in New Hampshire have been described as reckless and irresponsible. 

Take HB 160, a law that overturned a 40-year-old ban on carrying guns in the Statehouse according to an article in The Wire.

Do our legislators really need to be armed?

Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport think so. They both voted in favor of this bill.

HR 29 is a message to federal health care officials that they drop the mandate on contraception coverage.

There has been much debate on this topic. Some people see this as an attack on religious freedom but I believe that this is about health care, simple. I particularly like this explanation in an article on Jezebel.com: 

The specific medical care that a woman needs is between her and her doctor, and if human beings are covered by a medical plan, then human bodies should be covered by that medical plan, regardless of what we do with those bodies. Full stop. Also, kindly stop thinking so much about what I do with my body. It's creepy.

There's a simple mathematical formula I remember learning in school. If a=b and b=c, then a=c.

So if access to health care is a right, and contraception is health care, then shouldn't contraception be a right too?

Josh Davenport and Adam Schroadter both voted against this basic right.

The New Hampshire legislature introduced a bill this year that would effectively legalize discrimination in our state. 

HB 1264 reads: 

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person, including a business owner or employee thereof, shall be required to provide services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges to an individual if the request is related to the solemnization, celebration, or promotion of a marriage and providing such services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges would be a violation of the person’s conscience or religious faith. A person’s refusal to provide services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges in accordance with this section shall not create any civil claim or cause of action or result in any state action to penalize or withhold benefits from such person.

This means that if a business owner objects to a marriage on moral grounds, that business owner can refuse to provide services to that couple.  And to be clear, this bill does not specify that it would need to be a homosexual couple--- a business owner could refuse to serve a biracial or mixed faith couple also.

Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport both supported this bill.

So much for "Live Free or Die."

The New Hampshire Legislature passed a new Voter ID law this year-over the veto of Governor Lynch. The issues with voter ID laws across the country have been widely reported and this law is no exception. 

From the Governor's veto message:

"This bill is unnecessary.
Any changes to our voting procedures must ensure a person's constitutional right to vote is protected. This bill does not meet this test."

You can read this op-ed in Seacoastonline and this article in the Huffington Post for a little more background on this law.

Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport both voted in favor of this bill which one judge described as "at odds with state law and would have a "clear, harmful effect" on the voting rights of college students and others."

Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport both voted in favor of diverting tax payer money to private and religious schools.

This bill would hurt Newmarket schools.

This statement sums up my thoughts about HB 1607:

"The net effect is that the bill will support parents who already send their children to private and religious schools or who home-school their children. In short, legislators who vote for this bill are enhancing the liberty (choice) of a small minority of citizens and residents rather than promoting the greater good, including our nation's commitment to equality of educational opportunity." (You can read the full text here.) 

From Governor Lynch's Veto Message:

"Diverting public funds to private schools and downshifting costs to cities and towns is the wrong policy for our state and taxpayers, and is the main reason I have vetoed this bill and SB 372. But I have other concerns as well.

HB 1607, like SB 372, will also allow private, non-profit corporations to determine where public education dollars are spent. This bill does not identify those organizations beyond requiring that they be non-profits, register with the state's Charitable Trust Division and comply with applicable state and federal anti-discrimination laws. The bill also fails to establish a system of accountability for these private entities. I believe that the executive and legislative branches should determine where public school money is spent, not a private corporation."

"I strongly believe that any tax credit program enacted by the legislature must not weaken our public school system in New Hampshire or downshift additional costs onto local communities or taxpayers. Accordingly, I am vetoing HB 1607, and the nearly identical SB 372, because they do not meet that test."

See the progression of this bill here. 

This bill wouldn't support public education and wouldn't help Newmarket.

It's been widely reported that State Legislatures across the country have been introducing bills that would restrict women's control over their own bodies. Bills limiting availability to contraception, fertility, and yes, abortion have been have been popping up all over the country and New Hampshire is no different. HB 217 is one of those bills.

HB 217 prohibits violent offenses against fetuses. Now you might read that description and think, duh, what's wrong with that? Hopefully this excerpt from Governor Lynch's veto message will explain it:

I support legislation that would establish these criminal penalties for the death of a fetus, provided that criminal liability is triggered only if the fetus was deemed to be "viable" and that the legislation was based upon sound medical science. HB 217 fails to meet that standard. This bill would make it difficult for New Hampshire residents to obtain fertility treatments and unreasonably restricts a woman's rights during pregnancy. For these reasons and because this bill fails to contain a "viability" standard, I am vetoing HB 217.

Further, the definition of a fetus that is contained in HB 217 is ambiguous concerning whether or not the embryo stage is fully included or excluded. This ambiguity could affect the availability of reproductive medical treatments that are offered to women and men that assist in building families. HB 217 also does not provide sufficient protections when a woman is already pregnant. Because the medical treatment exemption is conditioned on the "request" of the pregnant woman or her legal guardian, it is not clear that an emergency room physician will be able to perform emergency treatment upon a pregnant woman brought in unconscious following a car accident or stroke, especially if there is no legally appointed guardian.

Josh Davenport and Adam Schroadter both voted in favor of this bill that would make it difficult for New Hampshire families to obtain fertility treatments.

During this project, I've started highlighting different pieces of legislation that have gone through the New Hampshire House of Representatives----some of it has become law, some of it hasn't. HB 1, in particular, is complicated and many votes were taken. You can view the history of the bill here and view voting records here.

The run in 2010 that led to the takeover of the House by the Tea Party Republicans brought a fight over the state budget. I understand that the Republicans in Concord believed that they had a mandate to reign in spending and get a handle on the budget. 

I'm sure that many people will argue that the budget cuts are necessary, but when I start to look at some of the programs the budget drastically cuts or eliminates, it leaves me perplexed. I don't understand how we can cut services to some of our most vulnerable citizens, particularly when the economy is in the toilet. 

Here is one example:
Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport both voted against funding for the Head Start Collaboration to help young, at-risk children better succeed in school.

This is one program they thought we could do without. 

What do you think we can do without?

31 Days

Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport both voted in favor HB 1659 which "would require pregnant women to wait 24 hours and certify they have been given information on fetal development before getting an abortion. Women would also be required to receive explicit information about the fetus and to view pictures and a video on the issue. Violating the law would be a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison."

Not only would this bill restrict a woman's right to obtain a safe, legal medical procedure, but it would also force doctors to provide false information to their patients. Yes, you heard me, it mandates that doctors LIE to their patients. To see exactly what I mean by this read the following articles at AddictingInfo and the Chicago Tribune and Seacoastonline.

You might be "pro-choice." You might be "pro-life." But maybe we can all agree that the women of New Hampshire shouldn't be lied to.

Thank you to Marcia Moody for fighting to protect the women of New Hampshire by voting against this bill.

HB 542 allows parents to object to any school curriculum for any reason. 

From the Huffington Post....
"under this bill, parents could object to a teacher's plan to: teach the history of France or the history of the civil or women's rights movements," Lynch wrote in his veto message. "Under this bill, a parent could find 'objectionable' how a teacher instructs on the basics of algebra. In each of those cases, the school district would have to develop an alternative educational plan for the student. Even though the law requires the parents to pay the cost of alternative, the school district will still have to bear the burden of helping develop and approve the alternative. Classrooms will be disrupted by students coming and going, and lacking shared knowledge."

This bill passed the House and Senate and was vetoed by Governor Lynch, but that veto was overridden and this is now the law in NH.

Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport voted in favor of this bill.

Wishful thinking.

At last night's Town Council meeting, a resolution was voted on authorizing the purchase of 8 new computers and a new server for the town.

To be clear, I completely agree with the council that 6 year old computers, described as "absolute clunkers" are basically obsolete and that was the general consensus last night when they voted to support this resolution.

The technology in our schools has come up in conversation a lot lately and it's my understanding that we are using computers that are 8 years old in some departments.

Personally, I will look forward to the discussion about technology during this year's budgeting process. My hope is that it goes as smoothly as it did last night.

HB 334 is described by Granite State Progress as "A bill that would allow guns on college campuses and dorms, in athletic stadiums and public parks and beaches. This bill additionally restricted local communities from making local decisions regarding firearms in these areas."

And how do you think our legislators voted?

Josh Davenport voted in favor of HB 334.

Adam Schroadter voted in favor of HB 334.

Marcia Moody voted against HB 334. 

Here is some more feedback about the bill:

From the Union Leader:
"Rep. Stephen Shurtleff, D-Concord, said the bill would allow guns at day-care centers on state property, including community colleges, and at the Merrimack County Nursing Home.
The bill “is like yelling fire in a crowded theater,” he said. “There are some places in New Hampshire where we just don't want guns. This bill will put guns in places they just don't belong.”

From the Nashua Patch:
Written by Terie Norelli, House Democratic Leader.
"All of New Hampshire’s public colleges and universities currently ban guns on campus, and HB 334 would mandate a reversal of that policy.  University officials and police, citing the prevalence of alcohol use and the fact that one’s college years are “often among the most volatile periods in a person’s life,” requested an exemption to HB 334 that would retain their authority to regulate the possession of firearms on campus.  That request was denied, as supporters of the bill actually argued that allowing everyone to carry guns on campus makes us safer."

Described as "lunacy" by Boston.com: 
The House approved bills allowing people to drive around with loaded rifles and shotguns, and to carry concealed guns without permits. But the killer bill, and I do mean killer, is HB 334: That one would prohibit college, state, and local officials from banning guns on state and community college campuses, and on other state property, including sports and concert arenas where alcohol is served and fights happen. That bit of lunacy passed by a 180-to-144 vote in the House.

There are 34 days until the election.

I know most people are focused on the Presidential election and with good reason. But I want to spend the next 34 days talking about New Hampshire.

I came across a great resource that explains legislation that came before the House this past year and I hope to highlight the issues that have come before the legislature and how our representatives voted.

In the past, I've simply voted for the person who represented the party I'm affiliated with (with one notable exception) because I really wasn't aware of the issues or didn't think they really affected me, but  they do.

For the next 34 days, I will post a new bill and how our legislators voted.


So here's the first issue:

HB 631-- Repealing universal Kindergarten.

• Joshua Davenport voted in favor of repealing universal kindergarten in NH.
• Marcia Moody voted against repeal.
• Adam Schroadter voted in favor of repealing universal kindergarten in NH.
