  • 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.

  • Regional Planning Report 2010
    The New Hampshire Association of Regional Planning Commissions (NHARPC) is the affiliation of the nine regional planning commissions in the state of New Hampshire. The members of the association are the Commissioners of the nine RPCs, and services are provided by RPC staff. Regional planning commissions are required by New Hampshire statute to prepare regional master plans, compile housing needs assessments, and review developments of regional impact. NRPC’s representatives to the NHARPC are Kerrie Diers, Mike Fimbel and Stuart Schneiderman. RECENT ACTIVITIES: News: At its recent Annual Fall Planning Conference, the Northern New England Chapter of the American Planning Association recognized the NH Innovative Land Use Techniques Handbook as the 2009 Project of the Year. The ILU Handbook was developed under the leadership of the NH Department of Environment Services in coordination with the State’s 9 regional planning commissions. Others contributing to the effort included the NH Office of Energy and Planning and the NH Local Government Center. Legislative Policy Committee: The NHARPC adopted the attached set of Legislative Policies and Priorities at its meeting on November 12, 2009. The LPC met on December 2 to review the approximately 900 LSR requests that had been filed at the Legislature. The LPC identified 60 bills that had potential interest to regional planning commissions. As the texts become available, the LPC will revise the list and distribute to members. The NHARPC will be reviewing the process it uses to solicit policy recommendations from member RPCs and hopes to have a new process ready for the Spring/early Summer.

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.
