In a recent Letter to the Editor in the Keene Sentinel, Varrin Swearingen wrote, “I’m confused. Do Democrats care about education or not?
If so, Keene’s voters have been duped by the empty rhetoric of those currently serving in office. On Wednesday, Reps. Burridge, Chase, Johnsen, Phillips, Robertson, and Weed voted to shut down education scholarships for New Hampshire families.”
The only representative from Keene to oppose the elimination of the scholarships & tax credits? School Board member Kris Roberts, who in 2 weeks (March 12) hopes voters will re-elect him to the School Board.
While I applaud Representative Roberts on voting correctly on this bill, I have to wonder if he voted the correct way because of principles or because he hopes it will help him get re-elected?
