Thursday, May 18, 2017 No. 16 HOUSE JOURNAL No. 15 (Cont’d) Thursday, May 4, 2017 Rep. Hinch moved that the House adjourn. Motion adopted. HOUSE JOURNAL No. 16 Thursday, May 18, 2017 The House assembled at 10:00 a.m. and was called to order by the Speaker. His Excellency, Governor Christopher Sununu, joined the Speaker on the rostrum for the day’s opening ceremonies. Prayer was offered by House Chaplain, Reverend Kate Atkinson, Rector of St. Paul’s Church in Concord. Thank You God: for resources that offer us countless possibilities; for wisdom that helps us choose how best to use them; for the knowledge of the needs of the world; and for the opportunities to make a difference. Today, as once again this body gathers to vote and to act, we pray for a renewed perception of how every decision we make touches human lives. Let us not be constrained by the fear of “not enough” but rather rejoice in the reality of our wealth and all we can achieve when we use it honorably. Inspire us, O God of unfailing generosity, to live in the awareness of abundance, to recognize that You are the source of all that we have; and, as we determine how to share what has been entrusted to us, may we honor You.

COMMUNICATION Via email May 17, 2017 Dear Mr. Speaker, I am writing to tender my resignation as State Representative for Belknap district 9, representing Laconia and Belmont effective 12:00 pm 5/17/17. Unfortunately, the libelous comments of an overzealous blogger and some of my colleagues have created a situation where I must consider the safety and well being of my girlfriend, my family, and myself. It has been a pleasure to serve in this house with those members who have integrity. Cordially, Hon. Robert Z.

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.
