  • 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.

  • The Koch's Criminal Justice Hypocrisy in New Hampshire

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.

  • Governor Maggie Hassan Office of the Governor State House 107 North Main Street Concord, NH 03301
    Governor Maggie Hassan Office of the Governor State House 107 North Main Street Concord, NH 03301 Your Excellency, It has come to our attention that members of the New Hampshire National Guard, of whom you are the Commander-in- Chief, are not allowed to carry firearms openly or concealed except under specific direction from yourself or the local commander. This fact appears to be due to current standing orders, regulations, or policies and denies to them the right of self-protection enjoyed by all citizens of New Hampshire. This right is embodied in Part 1, Article 2-a of the New Hampshire Constitution, which provides that “[a]ll persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property, and the state.” Due to the multi -dimensional threat posed to our nation and our state by various terror groups, including radical Islamic Jihadists (as demonstrated most recently in the military reserve and recruiting stations assassinations in Chattanooga Tennessee), it is our firm opinion that it is imprudent to continue to refuse New Hampshire Guard personnel their right to arm themselves at their own discretion. The current policy of not allowing members to carry concealed or even openly is a supreme irony in that we come from a strong Second Amendment state that is both an "open-carry" and "shall-issue" pistol permit state for concealed carry. Furthermore, people who have volunteered to put their lives on the line in defense of our state and federal constitutions should have the means available to civilians to protect themselves and their comrades at all times.

  • 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.
