Tucker: Makes it official
Republican State Representative Pam Tucker of Greenland and Newington announced yesterday that she will run for Congress in the First District. In announcing her candidacy, Tucker said quote,
“I am running for Congress to put a positive, forward-looking, reform-oriented agenda into practice. We did this here in New Hampshire, where we faced our fiscal challenges with spending restraint and common sense. We rose to the challenge in our state; now, it is beyond time to make the difficult decisions in Washington.”
Tucker identified defeating radical Islamic fundamentalism and ISIS, stopping Iran’s nuclear program, rebuilding our military and unleashing our economy as her top priorities. For more information about Tucker’s campaign, visit Pam for New Hampshire dot com

It ought to put to rest the idea that voter fraud doesn’t exist on a large scale in New Hampshire. Project Veritas leader James O’Keefe not so subtly hinted there are more videos on the way that will be even more shocking evidence of what’s taking place in the state’s polling places and why.
Long: Bill gets killed
The New Hampshire House of Representatives killed H B 16 11 last week. The bill, sponsored by State Rep. Patrick Long, Democrat from Manchester’s Ward 3, would have enabled communities to assess an hourly labor fee to comply with Right to Know Requests. Moreover, it would have allowed communities to charge the fees up front before doing any of the work. The House Judiciary Committee, on a sixteen to one vote, gave the bill an Inexpedient to Legislate recommendation, which the full house followed. Interestingly, the House also killed H B 15 93 which would have prohibited communities from assessing such labor fees.

So, parents, make yourselves known. We’ve got the links. We’ll hear from Ed comm. Member State Rep. Victoria Sullivan of Manchester Ward nine on this and other matters on tomorrow’s show.
News from our own backyard continues after this.
Hirschmann: Talked to the hand
Manchester Ward Twelve Alderman Keith Hirschmann is talking trash, or at least he’s trying to. At a meeting of the Special Committee on Solid Waste, Hirschmann raised the issue of condo associations leaving dozens bags of trash at the entrance to their developments. Turns out there’s a loophole in the city’s ordinance that leaves condo associations outside the city’s container regulations.
Barry: No problems in his ward
Despite confirmation of the problem from Solid Waste Coordinator Mark Gomez, Hirschmann was unable to get a second to his motion to close the loophole and develop container regulations for condo associations that leave their trash by the curb for city pick-up. Instead, Ward Ten Alderman Bill Barry praised the department for solving problems in his ward and at-Large Alderman Dan O’Neil made pretend the problem didn’t exist because the requirements existed for other properties. Committee Chairman Kevin Cavanaugh made no comment.
Stefanik: Rules for everybody
The committee also received and filed a complaint by resident Steve Stefanik. Stefanik’s elderly father’s trash wasn’t being picked up by the city because the container didn’t conform to city specifications. Stefanik pointed out that the green toters sold by the city and required for multi family properties don’t conform to the city’s ordinance either. He ask that the ordinance be changed or the containers sold by the city be changed so everything was in sync. He ended up talking to the hand. Apparently, the rules only matter when the city wants them to.
Sandown: Pinkerton propaganda wrong
The anti withdrawal crowd in the town of Sandown has become somewhat hysterical. Among the propaganda items being spewed forth is that Pinkerton Academy can’t be an option for the town’s high school kids if the town decides to leave the Timberlane Regional School District because, if it’s not full now, it will be if Candia decides to tuition their kids there, as expected, when its residents go to the polls next month to approve a tuition agreement with the school.
Pinkerton Academy: Plenty of room.
Of course, anybody whose followed high school issues knows, Pinkerton is desperately scrounging around for new feeder towns as the student numbers from its existing towns continue to plummet. The fact is there’s plenty of room at Pinkerton for Sandown’s high school kids, regardless of what Candia does. And, there’s plenty of savings for Sandown taxpayers as Pinkerton is several thousand dollars less expensive per pupil than Timberlane Regional High.
