Letter


Last week wasn’t exactly a week to be proud of our State Legislature. In Concord, in between discussions on transsexuals using whatever bathroom they feel OK with that particular day and the fact that civil unions was just one step on the ladder to allowing gay marriage, our four state reps all voted in favor of the medical marijuana bill. That’s right, all four voted to allow people to grow and use their own pot.


Ironically, the liberals who think you are not smart enough to make good choices for yourself and try to force you to wear seatbelts and eliminate transfats from restaurants, feel that when it comes to marijuana, you are suddenly an expert.


How is this supposed to be enforced? Our Police have enough to do as it is (and usually short-staffed at that!). The key effective medical ingredient in pot is called Tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly known as THC. This can be prescribed by doctors, monitored by dosage and follow-up appointments. Instead, our State Representatives, Carole Brown, Carol McGuire, Charlie Yeaton, and Margaret Porter, all think that everyone is better suited to determine their own dosage and frequency. How are people supposed to control the production and quality control? What happens if someone overdoses or gets sick? Are they then going to sue the government? Unbelieveable!
These people don’t want to see gambling come into the State of New Hampshire to reduce our debt because they think it might increase crime. What do they think is going to happen when kids show up at school buzzed because their parents have a crop of pot growing on their windowsill? Come on, guys. Find something better to do with your time and stop wasting our tax dollars introducing ridiculous legislation.

The Epsom PTO Is In Danger Of Becoming Extinct!


The PTO has done many things for our students and our community in Epsom.


All the hard work and dedication of all board members and volunteers will be lost.


The PTO is in need of some new board members to  lead this wonderful group of volunteers.


Without new members, We will need to Dissolve the PTO.


I will personally walk anyone through the process of being on the board  in any position and what is required.


I will also remain on the side lines to insure that no one is overwhelmed.


Our children need us and I would hate to see the PTO dissolve.


Please contact me with any questions at: 608-7432 or 736-4090.


Thank you,
Diane Lewis, VP
Epsom Central PTO

 


 

Epsom Old Home Day 2009


The Epsom Old Home Day Committee held its first official meeting on April 28th.  Unfortunately there  were no new volunteers present.  It was decided that due to the lack of volunteers and the state of the current economy it would be best to cancel our festivities for 2009. Hopefully next year we will have renewed interest in planning this event. 


The EOHD would like to take this time to thank all of the local businesses for always willing to donate to this special day over the past years.

 

Epsom Residents To Receive Thank You Daffodils For Roadside Clean Up


Many Miles of Epsom Roads were cleaned up by local residents. Perhaps you have seen your neighbors out picking up the trash. Many families reported that their children worked diligently to help and commented how they were amazed at the trash they found. All residents who send in a tally of the trash and the area they cleaned up by June 15th will receive Daffodil bulbs in the Fall. Please contact the Epsom Conservation Commission by e-mailing [email protected] or mailing info to ECC-Epsom Town Office, PO Box 10, Epsom, NH 03234.


One resident found over 18 tires dumped on Old Mountain Road. One five year old and Mom picked up the trash from his home to the Epsom Town Library on their weekly 2 mile walk to the library. While many miles and areas have been cleaned up there are lots more. Please volunteer to assist with this effort in your neighborhood. The commission thanks all those who get out there every year and do their part. So won’t you help? Perhaps there is a section of road or area that is meaningful to you. Do it in honor of Spring, the natural beauty of Epsom, and the joy of seeing clean roadsides, trails and public areas. Pick a time that works for you, your family or friends.


Thank you or your Participation.

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield:
Another exciting week in Concord! First, of course, we had to declare the Chinook the state dog. After a few less controversial bills, we debated changes to unemployment: the federal government offered a one time $21 million payment if New Hampshire would change its unemployment regulations on victims of domestic violence and add coverage for people looking for a job after taking medical or family leave, and for people who move when their spouse changes jobs. These changes passed on a 212-151 vote.


Then came the “soft landing” for auto dealers, SB 153. We suspended the rules to deal with this, since the Commerce Committee had spent most of Tuesday with a public hearing, a subcommittee meeting and a committee meeting to craft an amendment approved by both the manufacturers’ and the dealers’ lobbyists. This bill was rushed through in an attempt to protect automobile dealers from the prospective closures of GM and Chrysler franchises, and increase payments from the manufacturers. I opposed this bill, first because it attempted to change the agreed-upon contracts, and secondly because the payouts would actually come from federal stimulus money, which is our tax dollars and government debt. With both the Democrat and Republican leadership behind this bill, it passed 295-66 and went on to the Senate and the Governor.


Finally we reconsidered HB 436, allowing gay marriage. The Senate amendments had been so hurriedly adopted that they sent a separate set of technical corrections attached to another bill! The House voted 178-167 to concur with the Senate changes, and I was the only representative from this district to vote against it.

 

Anyone interested in what is going on in the State House is invited to email or call me.
Representative Carol McGuire
