Remembering Democrat Rule In New Hampshire – In The Beginning…

The current New Hampshire Democrat narrative is one of a Republican Legislature with skewed priorities out to hurt the most vulnerable, but they only say this because it is (the proper word for it is projection) an agenda to which Democrats themselves can easily relate. 

In March of 2007, just a few months after claiming complete control of state government, this new Democrat Majority, in the midst of their out of the gate 2007 spending spree, found time to preserve barns, buy a Mountain, and enact a double-digit expansion of the bureaucracy, but voted down a floor amendment that would have fully funded and completely eliminated, the developmental disabilities waiting list during their first biennium.  In the same month the Democrat controlled Senate bulldozed SB 186, (a bill to provide a property tax credit for senior citizens) down to study committee that was then killed in the Democrat controlled NH House.

So despite the New Hampshire Democrats complete control of state government and an unhealthy and unrealistic desire to spend (spend - spend), instead of using that opportunity to live up to their rhetoric (to help some of the state’s most vulnerable) they kill bills to help those people and instead pass a bill that would allow the Democrat party to profit from the sale of the state’s voter list.

And this was just the beginning of the tax and spend era (and hypocrisy) of the Democrat party in New Hampshire.
