I'm reminded of the October 2005 floods in Alstead, but I can only find a few sentences about those in the Alstead Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alstead,_New_HampshirePermalink On twitter.com

Meanwhile the floods the next spring in the rest of the state (including Concord) have their entire own article (which I've edited): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_New_England_floodPermalink On twitter.com

apparently the floods in 2005 and 2006 mostly just damaged state roads, while these most recent ones damaged municipal roadsPermalink On twitter.com

interesting how the sponsor list for this is mostly Republicans (only Dem in the sponsor list that jumps out at me is @kahnjay), when "bridges and roads" is primarily an argument that Dems use against Libertarians...Permalink On twitter.com

I like the idea behind this bill, since I like roads and bridges, but it sounds like there are some drafting issues with it that might require an amendment...Permalink On twitter.com

I wonder if they know the anarcho-socialist meaning of "mutual aid" as defined by Kropotkin, or if they're using the term more informally...Permalink On twitter.com

HB1046, on the election of Sullivan County commissioners, is next for exec-ing.Permalink On twitter.com

OTP motion for 1046 fails along party lines, 10-9, which seems odd, since it didn't seem like a partisan bill?Permalink On twitter.com
Mood -2 🙁

Closest thing to an argument I've heard from Republicans against HB1046 is that they think HB1397 replaces it, but... it doesn't? That's just about term length for Rockingham County officers, which is a completely separate issue from how Sullivan County elects its officers.Permalink On twitter.com

motion to ITL HB1046 passes by the same margin that the motion to OTP it failed by; on to HB1112...Permalink On twitter.com

HB1112 is @JulieDGilman1's bill for competitive bidding in all NH counties, which she thought to file after we killed a similar bill to do so for just Carroll County last year, on the grounds that it ought to be for all counties instead.Permalink On twitter.com

now Republicans want to ITL this bill because they don't think it should actually be for all counties after allPermalink On twitter.com

Motion to ITL HB1112 passes 10-9 along party lines; Republicans have no interest in remaining internally consistent, it seemsPermalink On twitter.com
