Governor Sununu, We, the Undersigned
Governor Sununu, We, the undersigned Democrats in the New Hampshire House, implore you to immediately issue a “stay-at-home” order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in New Hampshire. As our hospitals and the mayors of our largest cities have noted, every day that passes without a stay- at-home directive brings exponential growth to the health risks faced by Granite Staters, and unsustainable pressure on New Hampshire’s healthcare services which will lead to unnecessary loss of life. As you have acknowledged, we likely remain far from the peak of COVID-19 infections in New Hampshire. Many of us own or work at small businesses and understand that ordering non-essential businesses to close is a drastic step that will exacerbate the disruption COVID-19 has already brought to everyday life. However, as we have seen in other countries and other states, taking decisive action will slow the spread of the virus, save lives and allow our economy to rebound stronger and faster. The steps we have taken so far, which include telling people to keep their social gatherings to under 10 people, are simply not enough. Monday’s announcement of the first death from COVID-19 in New Hampshire emphasizes the urgency in our communities to take decisive steps to combat this deadly virus. Closing non- essential businesses and ordering people to stay at home are bold steps critical to that effort. Please join the states across America, including our neighbors Massachusetts and Vermont, that have taken these critical steps to slow the spread of COVID-19. -

As this will be my last Speaker’s Notice, I would like to express how grateful I am to have had the opportu- nity to serve in the New Hampshire House for the last 36 years.

AFP-NH hopes that this Scorecard will aid you in your efforts to remain well informed regarding some of the key legislative activity that took place in Concord over this past year and its impact in lowering or increasing barriers to success and enhancing a free and open society. This year certainly saw a change in how the Legislature did business, in response to the pandemic. This led to fewer roll calls than in years past, especially in the State Senate. AFP-NH does not score every vote in the House or Senate. Rather, the focus of this Scorecard is to consider the most important votes cast in priority issue ares that impact our society, such as taxes and spending, health care, educational opportunity, worker freedom, regulation, free speech, property rights, ending cronyism, and having a criminal justice system that focuses on rehabilitation. This year, the Legislature had the opportunity to vote on important issues in these areas, which are laid out in the vote descriptions. Within this Scorecard you will find these votes that are essential to removing barriers to opportunity. -

The Northern Pass Project was proposed in late 2010 as a 192-mile-long high voltage transmission line through the heart of Coos and Grafton Counties and was intended to serve as an “extension cord” between Canadian hydroelectric power generators and Massachusetts markets. Originally proposed as an above-ground project with towers looming over the tallest trees, Northern Pass almost immediately met with opposition from North Country citizens, prompting the late County Commissioner and Executive Counselor Ray Burton to suggest in 2012 that they “pack up their tents and go home.” Unfortunately, the fight continued unabated until June 2019, when the State Supreme Court justices ruled unanimously to deny a request by project officials to reconsider a Site Evaluation Committee’s (SEC’s) earlier decision to deny approval for the project. -

FY20 Annual Report
Grafton County New Hampshire CardiganBeaver Mountain, Pond - Woodstock, Canaan NH Annual Report Fiscal Year 2020 July 1st, 2019—June 30th, 2020 3855 Dartmouth College Hwy. North Haverhill, NH 03774 Dedication of the Annual Report Fiscal Year 2020 The Grafton County Commissioners are pleased to dedicate the 2020 Annual Report to our valued Grafton County employees and elected officials in recognition of their selfless dedication to service throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic could have resulted in significant disruption of county services were it not for the exceptional effort of our employees. Our front-line responders in the Nursing Home, Sheriff’s Department and Department of Corrections showed up for duty every day with a determination to protect and serve the citizens for whom they are responsible and adapted quickly and without complaint to procedural changes that were implemented to keep everyone safe. Maintenance Department and Farm personnel continued to report to work each day to ensure that critical internal operations proceeded without interruption. Information Technology Department employees not only continued to provide uninterrupted support of normal county operations, but also took on the added responsibility of helping to set up remote meetings and remote access for other county employees so they could work safely at home. Members of the Registry of Deeds office showed up each day to ensure that critical documents associated with buying and selling real estate were processed in a timely manner. Members of the Administration, Human Resources, and Alternative Sentencing Departments, as well as the County Attorney’s office, quickly responded to the significant additional challenges that Covid-19 presented and continued to work hard to ensure that all County objectives were met and no services were delayed.
