Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, And Pittsfield:
On October 13, the legislature will meet to consider four bills vetoed by the governor. HB 53 simply clarifies the definition of a public body under the Right to Know law; it passed both the House and the Senate on a voice vote, without debate. The Governor’s veto message states that he thinks it might confuse people. I disagree and plan to vote against the veto.


HB379 also amended the Right to Know law, allowing a private joint contract negotiating strategy session with the school board and the governing board (selectmen or aldermen). This was a contentious bill in the House. I voted against it because I believe that the Right to Know law and open government are very important. The Governor agrees with me, according to the veto message, so I will support this veto.


HB1161 deletes the requirement for a local license to sell firearms, since both federal and state laws strictly control who can sell firearms to whom. This bill passed both the House and Senate without debate. It turns out that most towns didn’t realize that they could require a specific firearms sales license, rather than a business license for a gun shop, and don’t use them. A few towns issued these licenses, apparently as a way to keep tabs on people likely to have a lot of guns on hand, and the police chiefs in these towns liked the convenience. All in all, it seems like a small decrease in regulations, and I will probably vote to overturn the veto.


HB1490 was a complex banking bill that would, among other things, grant the Banking Commission sole authority to regulate financial institutions. Since they have failed to protect consumers from Ponzi schemes, this seems a poor decision. I voted against this bill in the House and will support the veto.

Letter


On 9/29, I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the Epsom Fire Department recognized for their hard work and bravery for their efforts during a Suncook River water rescue (in conjunction with the Concord Fire Department) and also during the Tornado (with Allenstown and Concord).


In addition to that, Colby Walker, Joel French, and Captain Matt Moulton, all received the highest commendation awarded by the NH Fire and EMS, Level 1 Medal, for their brave acts during the rescue efforts immediately following the tornado in July of 2008.


As far as I am concerned, every one of the responders that day should receive a medal. I know these people feel like they were just doing their job, but we all know the truth. They are uniquely qualified and talented people who gladly put themselves in harm’s way every day and at a moment’s notice to keep you and me safe. I am so proud of them, and I hope they know how much they are appreciated by their community.

Letter To The Editor


Editor:
I have served in several volunteer capacities in Epsom. I am writing this letter to give my wholehearted support to my friend and fellow public servant to former, Representative Tony F. Soltani, in his bid to return to the New Hampshire legislature. I have known Tony for about twenty years while he worked as a police officer, served on various Boards, and has tirelessly volunteered his talents.


Tony represented Epsom, Allenstown, and Pittsfield until 2006 to the best of his ability when he suffered an illness. He holds his small town values dear and sincerely believes that we should be safe in our homes, our streets, and our businesses. Concord Elite has lost touch with us.


As a small business owner, I know that we have had to scale back on everything just to keep our head above water. Our profit margin is minimal. Concord’s actions simply don’t sit well with our common sense values. Tony would never stand for that. More importantly, he knows his limitations, and I know first hand, that if he needs advice and information, he will read, call someone, or study the issue to educate himself. This sets him miles apart from the all knowing Concord crowd.


In these economic trying times, with high unemployment and the taxpayers under attack, Tony is the best possible representative we could have in Concord. I urge my fellow voters in Epsom, Allenstown, and Pittsfield to cast their ballots for Representative Tony F. Soltani on September 14, 2010. I know myself and my family will do so without hesitation. He has earned our trust and he has proven to be worthy of it, and I am not alone in saying that we need TONY BACK NOW.


Sincerely yours,
Ricky Belanger
Epsom, NH 

 


 

Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor:
I am a candidate for State Representative from the towns of Allenstown, Pittsfield and Epsom. I previously served four terms in the New Hampshire House.


The most important issue for every New Hampshire citizen now is jobs, jobs, jobs. People in New Hampshire are ruggedly independent and want to work. Yet, they cannot obtain the jobs that pay a fair and adequate wage. This ,in great part, is natural result of fiscal irresponsibility of the state. This issue is clearly and inextricably connected to the issue of taxation and spending.


We need only look to Virginia to understand that a state that was more than a billion dollars in debt, returned to a state of solvency and is now having a surplus in a matter of two years.


The people simply threw the self-serving rascals out of the legislature and the corner office. New Hampshire is a much smaller and more limber economy. Its ills can be cured easier, only if there is political will and intestinal fortitude on the part of our leaders.


Every day at my office, I make a point of looking at New Hampshire laws in effect as of 1942. They constituted two volumes. By 1955 they had reached five volumes. As of now we are close to thirty volumes and growing. We have bureaus, commissions, council, offices, directors, officers, agencies that that often the work is duplicated and the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.. This is a recipe for economic disaster and inefficiency. Yet, the 2004 report on streamlining New Hampshire government which was compiled at great expense has been ignored and is collecting dust at the State House. We have simply spent ourselves into a hole.


In the coming weeks, I will try to further elaborate in every one of these specific areas.

 

Respectfully
Tony Soltani

 


 

Greater Pittsfield Chamber Of Commerce Business After Hours
Submitted by Michelle Beauregard 


The Greater Pittsfield Chamber of Commerce held their monthly Business After Hours.  The event was sponsored by Ponderosa Disposal, LLC located on 78 White Birch Lane in Epsom, Tuesday, September 14th. They provided an exciting atmosphere for all Chamber Members to meet and interact with one another. 


Refreshments and snacks were put out for everyone to enjoy.  Rick provided everyone with a vegetable platter, subway subs and chips and then topped everything off with brownies.  We all grabbed a plate and sat down at one of the tables and enjoyed dinner together!  We ate like kings!!!


After we finished dinner we all went for a walk around Rick Belanger’s facility.  This is the cleanest salvage yard that I have ever seen.  Rick is wonderful at recycling the old to make something new.  He has busses in his yard where he stores things that had fluids in them so that they are under cover and off of the ground.  He has made most of his structural storage spaces out of recycled materials.  It is truly a work of art or at least I think so!!!


Ponderosa Disposal offers numerous services.  The first of many is the dumpster/roll-off containers which there are three sizes to choose from.  This is great for house demolitions or for people like me who need to strip their roof of the old shingles.  This is a licensed transfer station, licensed salvage yard and they also offer small structure demolition as well as tire disposal services. 


The best part of the night I do have to say is when he showed us the tractors.  For fun, Rick likes to have tractor pulls in his yard.  He has a small track set up to do such a thing.  He let one of the girls that attended the event ride the tractor around the yard.  We were all laughing but I think she had the biggest grin of all!!


The Members all enjoyed their time during The Greater Pittsfield Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours.  Each Member was able to interact to one another and had the opportunity to learn about the individual businesses and the services they offer.  For more information about The Greater Pittsfield Chamber of Commerce, please visit www.pittsfieldchamber.org.


We would like to send out a special Thank You to Rick Belanger of Ponderosa Disposal, LLC for offering his space for such a fantastic event.  Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see exactly what the facility has to offer as well as providing the space to network our businesses!!  For more information about the services offered at Ponderosa Disposal, check out their web site at www.ponderosadisposal.com.   If you have not seen this facility you need to go check it out!!!
