What If...
NH Faces $86.8 Shortfall This Year
April 19th, 2010New Hampshire faces $84.8 million shortfall this year
Shortfall on pace for $86.6 million next year; total budget gap close to $300 million
(CONCORD) The Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy has published a new report estimating the revenue shortfall facing the New Hampshire budget at $84.8 million for Fiscal Year 2010. The projection is based revenues through March 31, and a study of the spring revenue figures for the past ten years.
The report, authored by Josiah Bartlett Center President Charlie Arlinghaus, breaks the state budget into ten major revenue categories, and projects how each source of funds is performing compared to both the Legislature’s projections and historic averages.
“Based on historical trends, the state is currently on track to be $84.8 million short of its budgeted revenue in the fiscal year ending June 30,” Arlinghaus writes.
Arlinghaus concludes that next year’s revenue shortfall will also top $80 million, unless economic conditions improve quickly.
“The budgeted revenue for FY2011 includes no additional taxes or rate changes. It assumes a 2.2% growth in total revenues over the prior year,” Arlinghaus continues. “If we assume the same 2.2% increase off the new FY2010 base, revenues would be an additional $86.6 million below the amount budgeted to balance spending in the budget.”
“The two-year revenue shortfall of $171 million is the largest component of a budget deficit that is close to $300 Million.”

Tea Party Nevada
April 4th, 2010The mainstream media will not show you pictures which illustrate the vastness of the Tea Party movement.
This is a view of Senator Harry Reid’s hometown this week-end during a Tea Party Rally. This town of 500 voters was the site where at least 10,000 Tea Party Patriots came to hear Sara Palin speak. The town was so crowded the police stopped people from exiting the interstate highway. People were turned away because the town could not accommodate any more Tea Party visitors. Evidently Harry Reid thinks Tea Party people can be bought off just like some of the Democrats. His supporters were offering Tea Party visitors free donut holes and tea at a small stand.
Since the mainstream media will not show scenes like this, perhaps Americans should distribute this picture of Harry Reid’s home town over the Internet. Harry Reid is the fearless leader of the Senate who crammed government controlled health care down the throats of Americans though Americans told him “No, thank you!” Harry Reid’s approval rating is eight percent (8%), right behind Nancy Pelosi’s approval rating of twelve percent (12%). He is running for re-election, but he is beginning to wonder if the president will be able to get him re-elected as the president promised. He is counting on Americans having a short memory. He believes Americans will love being “controlled” once they get used to it!
Please help do the job the mainstream media will not do. Send this picture to people on your e-mail list who have been told by the mainstream media that Tea Party groups are composed of just a few radicals and the movement will never amount to anything.

“The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. … [I]t is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable — and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!” — Patrick Henry

Obamacare worth the price to Democrats
March 9th, 2010So there was President Obama, giving his bazillionth speech on health care, droning yet again that “now is the hour when we must seize the moment,” the same moment he’s been seizing every day of the week for the past year, only this time his genius photo-op guys thought it would look good to have him surrounded by men in white coats.
Why is he doing this? Why let “health” “care” “reform” stagger on like the rotting husk in a low-grade creature feature who refuses to stay dead no matter how many stakes you pound through his chest?
Because it’s worth it. Big time. I’ve been saying in this space for two years that the governmentalization of health care is the fastest way to a permanent left-of-center political culture. It redefines the relationship between the citizen and the state in fundamental ways that make limited government all but impossible. In most of the rest of the Western world, there are still nominally “conservative” parties, and they even win elections occasionally, but not to any great effect (Let’s not forget that Jacques Chirac was, in French terms, a “conservative”).
The result is a kind of two-party one-party state: Right-of-center parties will once in a while be in office, but never in power, merely presiding over vast left-wing bureaucracies that cruise on regardless.
Special Investigation
March 8th, 2010NH GOP DEMANDS HOUSE DEMS CALL FOR ETHICS INVESTIGATION OF EATON
Dem House Majority Floor Leader’s Intrusion Into Liquor Commission Probe Raises Serious Ethical Questions
CONCORD – The New Hampshire Republican State Committee called on House Speaker Terie Norelli to ask the Legislative Ethics Committee to investigate whether Representative Daniel Eaton (D-Stoddard) violated ethics guidelines when he allegedly interfered with a State Liquor Commission investigation. The NHGOP also demanded that Speaker Norelli immediately remove Representative Eaton from his House Leadership position pending the outcome of an ongoing criminal investigation into the same incident being conducted by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office.
“The allegations made against Representative Eaton are serious and raise concerns that he may have abused his office by trying to influence a State Liquor Commission investigation on behalf of a political ally. Representative Eaton’s actions have called into question the ethical standards of the House Democrat Leadership and impaired his ability to successfully discharge his duties as House Majority Floor Leader,” said NHGOP Communications Director Ryan Williams. “In order to preserve the integrity of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, Speaker Norelli must remove Representative Eaton from his leadership position and immediately call for an ethics investigation into his dubious actions.”
According to a report in the Union Leader (3/6), New Hampshire State Liquor Commission Enforcement Director Eddie Edwards claims that Representative Eaton tried to “stymie” an investigation of a Keene tavern owned by one of his political allies. Jerry Flynn, Executive Director of the New England Benevolent Association backed up Mr. Edwards’ accusations, claiming that Mr. Eaton “harassed” two state liquor inspectors that went to the bar and “made it very well know that he was a high-ranking public elected official.”
The Nashua Telegraph (3/5) also confirms that Representative Eaton intruded into the Liquor Commission probe when he participated in a clandestine meeting with the tavern owner and Commission Chairman Mark Bodi.
According to Legislative ethics guidelines, New Hampshire legislators are prohibited from “threaten[ing] reprisals or promis[ing] inducements of any kind to influence another so as to obtain special personal benefits for the legislator, the legislator’s immediate family, or for certain constituents which would not be available to others under similar conditions.” They are also barred from “conduct[ing] private negotiations with any governmental agency in an attempt to obtain a decision on a pending matter which would result in special personal benefit to the legislator, to the legislator’s immediate family, or to certain constituents which would not be available to others under similar conditions.”
Representative Eaton’s alleged “harassment” of Liquor Commission inspectors and his secret meeting with Commissioner Bodi during his department’s investigation raises serious questions about whether he violated these ethical guidelines.

Senator Judd Gregg warns of financial meltdown
February 25th, 2010US senator warns of ‘financial meltdown’ risk
By Edward Luce in Washington
The US is heading for a debt-driven “financial meltdown” within five to seven years, according to Judd Gregg, the outgoing Republican senator for New Hampshire.
In a robust and at times testy video interview for the Financial Times’s View from DC series, Mr Gregg also complimented China for showing rising alarm about the US’s mounting levels of public debt.
