NH Liberty Alliance‘s Activist of the Year, Keith suggests the following votes, for the reasons below:
I’ll be voting for Ian Freeman because he is this only candidate serious about decreasing property taxes.
I’ll be voting Yes on Article 1. Article 1 is the school board budget. Voting Yes increases property taxes at least 2.41% Voting No increases property taxes at least 4.27%. My guess is that the majority of voters will vote Yes on Article 1 and Yes on most of the other articles. That means property taxes will increase by around 3.23%.
Articles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14 and 16 are designed to increase property taxes or something similar. I’ll be voting No on those Articles.
Article 13 is for the school system to sell a property it owns. I’ll be voting Yes on Article 13.
Article 15 is to discontinue the use of the Jonathan Daniels facility as an elementary school. Since there is no need to keep this school open, and keeping the school open is expensive, I’ll be voting Yes on Article 15. BTW, I would like to point out that this Article was not created by the school board in the usual way. It was submitted by petition. Good work local activists!
Here’s a guest blog by NH Liberty Alliance Activist of the Year, Keith Michael W Smith regarding the upcoming senate vote on medical cannabis:
The SB 409 (New Hampshire’s Medical Marijuana Bill) committee vote will be THIS Thursday (3/15) afternoon. Last year the vote was 3-2, with Senators Jeb Bradley and Gary Lambert voting NO and Sens. Kelly, Sanborn, and De Blois voting YES. Senators Bradley and Lambert especially need to get called, emailed, etc., by constituents or anyone that lives in New Hampshire and can make a calm, reasonable argument in favor of Medical Marijuana in next couple days.
Jeb Bradley (R) District 03 271-8472 jeb.bradley@leg.state.nh.us (more…)
Bullet voting is where you only vote for one person (me) in a race in which you could vote for multiple people. This means that your one vote for me will count more than if you were to vote for the maximum of three candidates in the race.
Polls are open from 7:30 a.m. until 7 p.m. Wards 1, 2 & 3 vote at the Keene Recreation Center, 312 Washington Street, and Wards 4 & 5 vote at the First Baptist Church, 105 Maple Avenue. Same day voter registration is available.
We had our hearing on the medical marijuana bill (SB 409) Thursday afternoon, and it went extremely well. A major highlight was Enfield Police Chief Richard Crate being on the receiving end of some serious pushback from the Senate Health and Human Services Committee.
