New Hampshire's Virtual Town Hall
Over worked legislators
NH legislators must consider slowing down.
We don't need thousands of bills to complicate our lives, bloat the government, accelerate the spending, create a blizzard of mandates (most of them unfunded), find ways to downshift costs to towns and suffocate creativity and businesses.
It is getting to the point where one wonders when just getting out of bed in the morning results in violating some state statutes, laws, ordinances etc. The EPA is declaring that our life sustaining breathing itself is causing pollution.
I would like to see that the New Hampshire legislative body only convenes once every two years to consider the biennial budget and get rid of the process that generates a stream of bills year-in and year-out.
Texas legislature only meets for 90 days every two years.
Let us not go down the path of making NH legislature a career employment with all the best perks just like the federal government has become. It will do more harm than good for the general public.
We need to reduce the size of the state government and live up to the ideals of our state motto-live free or die.

Passing laws at the ballot box will be the only way to accomplish this, unfortunately NH is not a referendum state. That NEEDS to change. Can you imagine how clean the state, and Washington DC would be if we passed a law that gave 25 to life to any public servant who violated their oath, The Constitution, or was guilty of the least little bit of corruption, lying at any time, or witholding their secret agendas from the voters?
