  • 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.

  • From State Representative Rosemarie Rung
    Town Councilors: I am unable to attend the November 7 meeting, but I want to provide an update, as the bills that I will be sponsoring or co-sponsoring have been signed off and will soon be assigned to a committee to begin the legislative process. I want you to know why I support these bills. Title: requiring food service establishments to establish food allergy awareness procedures. Sponsors: (Prime) Rosemarie Rung, Janice Schmidt, Dan Feltes, Joseph Guthrie, William Marsh, Cam Kenney This bill came at the request of a Merrimack constituent whose family member died from an allergic reaction from food served at a NH restaurant. I worked on this after consultation with the NH Restaurant and Lodging Association and the NH HHS department. It essentially extends new NH food safety food code to restaurants that are not under the state’s authority (i.e., cities that have jurisdiction for restaurant licensing/inspection), will require restaurants to include menu language to instruct patrons to notify the server of any food allergy (required language now warns of raw or undercooked meat), and will allow restaurants to voluntarily be designated “food allergy friendly” if they meet national standards. Title: Establishing a committee to study the labeling of products containing PFAS. Sponsors: (Prime) Rosemarie Rung, Betty Gay, Deborah Hobson Following conversations with Eileen and Sarita about PFAS waste entering the treatment plant from car washes, I talked with Clark Freise about how to control PFAS discharge to municipal systems. He said most users don’t even know PFAS is in the materials they use.

  • The Koch's Criminal Justice Hypocrisy in New Hampshire
    CCWWTT::^^RRWW11aa^^ccWWTTaabb´´ 666AAA000===888CCC444 BBBCCC000CCC444 ???AAA>>>999444222CCC 77^^ffccWWTTAAPPSSXXRRPP[[00VVTT]]SSPP^^UU >dc^UBcPcT1XV>X[1X[[X^]PXaTb 77PPbb77ddaacc==TTff77PP\\__bbWWXXaaTT 1 Charles and David Koch pour hundreds of millions of dollars into our political system to advance their self-enriching agenda and elect their puppet candidates. At the state and national level, the Kochs use their unlimited resources to influence policy to suit their political and personal needs while hurting middle class and working families. The policies they favor include cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy; reducing and eliminating regulations to protect workers, consumers, and the environment; privatizing and cutting both Social Security and Medicare; and cutting other programs, including Pell Grants for college. For decades, the Kochs and their network of dark money political front groups have been pushing the Koch agenda in New Hampshire — perhaps more than any other state in the country — which has benefitted billionaires like the Kochs at the expense of Granite Staters. In 2016, New Hampshire will continue to be on center stage in American politics with the First In The Nation primary, a top- tier Senate race, marquee Congressional contests, an open governor’s mansion, and a number of hot button issues in the limelight. At the same time, the Koch network has promised to spend nearly $900 million to buy elections for candidates who will do their bidding for them. The Kochs themselves admit they “expect something in return” for the millions they spend propping up their candidates, but for candidates, backing from the Kochs comes with a high price tag.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.
