Another "so cold the mask is primarily for warmth" type day out there... I forgot my binder of notes on bills for today's executive session, so I'll have to just be looking up everything from my previous threads... #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

so yeah consensus on HB1238 seems to be that it won't do much... looks like we're going to ITL it...Permalink On twitter.com

HB1238 is ITL-ed unanimously, 16-0... there was some fear that voting against this might get portrayed as being "anti-housing", but since it ended up being unanimous against it, I guess we don't have to worry about that; seemed pretty clear we were all just objecting to detailsPermalink On twitter.com

so, consensus seems to be that while OHRV noise complaints are a legitimate issue, tax abatements aren't the right way to go about fixing itPermalink On twitter.com

my preferred solution would be just to ban the sale and possession of OHRVs (and really all internal combustion engine powered vehicles altogether, tbh), but that probably won't happen...Permalink On twitter.com

looks like, instead of ITL-ing, we might be moving to interim study instead?Permalink On twitter.com

so yeah HB1289 goes to interim study instead of being ITL-ed; there were 3 "no" votes, so I guess that makes the margin 13-3?Permalink On twitter.com

Next: HB1293, preventing people from designing their own septic systems (which... what? Why could they in the first place? I'm guessing the Free Staters had something to do with it...)Permalink On twitter.com

this is a perfect example of something where the application of Mill's Harm Principle might not seem obvious at first, but becomes more obvious the more you think about it (poor septic design affects entire communities!)Permalink On twitter.com
