BIA should impose a charity tax on all their members. You raise the $5 million to offset the reduction to Community Health Center funding. After all these clinics proved free health care and your member could cut their employees health insurances. The BIA also publicly supported eliminating the cuts to those with developmental Disabilities so raise another $26 million for that group. So your member tax should be rounded up to say $35 million. Your member are societies fat cats so they can afford it. It is time for big the really business that make up the BIA to put up or shut up. If you don't put up then you may want to shut up because the BIA is fast loosing it's credibility and being seen as fat cat hypocrites who want to pass all taxes onto NH's property owners. |

This is at least the second shooting by Concord PD that was hidden from the Public for a substantial period of time. Remember when two CPD officers shot at each other a year or so ago over on the Heights. It took weeks to find out what happened. It looks like they take the time to get their stories straight. In the last three years I have noticed that if sex is involved the PD can wait to run to the papers and try to smear people before all the facts are in. Why the double standard? What is going on in that Department? These shootings and unfair treatment of everyone raise issues of leadership. Time for a new Chief? |

Abe "The bill should be named the Right To Work For Less" Fact; "Federal workers, basically, work under a federal Right to Work bill." Federal works salaries far exceed those of State Employees. Maybe the name ought to be Right to Work for bigger salaries. |

From your article: "David Cay Johnston, a former Pulitzer-Prize-winning reporter for the Wall Street Journal, has studied the issue. He says that nationally, public workers sacrificed a dollar in wages for every dollar gained in pension and health care benefits." If the quote is true can you imagine what the Unions must have asked for given the fact that over the last 6 years NH State Employees average salaries have increased by 36.7%. and their increase in fringe benefits were even greater. If only the taxpayers on Social Security had such a deal. |

The Republicans rejected Governor Lynch's downshifting to local property tax owners. They cut additional spending to balance the budget. |

Over the last six years NH State Employees have received an average 37.6% increase in pay alone. Benefits are even higher. It is time to level the playing field. |

Over the last six years NH Public Employees average SALARY INCREASE was 37.6% according to the State data release under a right to know filling. Who in the private sector has had that kind of increase? Add to that their retirement and health insurance plans that far exceed anything in the private sector and there protected status and you begin to see why 93% of the voters who are not in State and Teacher Unions are delighted to see reality hit these unions in the face. If the current system was fair to all would the Unions have received their giant pay increase? |

"Politicians in NH have for decades had to take the tax "pledge"to get elected." Bingo! Politicians get elected because the vast majority of NH voters do not want a broad based tax! The will of the voters is why the Democratic Gov. says no new taxes. Respecting the will of the voters should be a bipartisan issue but it is not for some liberal Democrats who continue to believe they are smarter then those stupid self-indulging voters. Maybe the voters know that taking money from all taxpayers to give to many non-taxpayers has limits and this year they clearly said we have reached our limit. |

jseaver, how in the world did you reach your conclusion that , "Republican leaders in Concord don't seem to have learned their lesson about governance - a modern state budgeting process needs to focus on both revenues and spending." The article said Republicans were doing exactly what you proposed. In fact, any person family or government would obviously have to look at both income and expenses. The compare and contrast aspect of the article focuses on the opposite points of view about which comes first. Democratic in the last legislature determined what they wanted to buy and when out and purchased all they desired. When they don't have the money to pay for it they said two things. One was to charge it (bonding) and the other was to say I will sell my stuff and pay you later. Neither works very well because no we owe a great deal more on the credit card and can not make the payments. This Republican legislature's approach is to see how much money is in the pot and then prioritize their purchase and buy only what they can afford. Now that I think about it one approach reminds me of my teenagers and the other reminds me of my parents. |

Stop the name calling. Like their views or not calling tea party members "Tea Baggers" is disrespectful and does nothing to further your views. |

Just a couple of years ago state union employees insisted on getting their 6% pay increase (plus step) that resulted in lay offs of their fellow employees. As for the comment about being at the top of your steps, there are no steps in the real world of tax payers who are asked to financially pay for those steps and longevity increases.
Your comments shows a total disconnect with those voters who said enough in the last election. Keep on talking and you will see the same election result next time around.
