Keith Kellogg, an enthusiastic “supporter of life” both as a volunteer and by his profession as an electrician, was there at Hannaford’s of Tilton when I collapsed as a result of an adverse reaction to prescribed medication. He happened to be returning from a National Electric Code training update on the Life Safety Code. Based […]
I recently organized and held a benefit spaghetti dinner at the Elks Lodge in Franklin to raise funds for my neighbors, Steve and Cindy Waterstrat and their sons Kyle and Corey Wiley. This family lost their home and all of their belongings on February 28 due to a fire that originated in a recently-cleaned chimney. […]
A rush of action as "crossover" looms
The Senate Medicaid Expansion bill passed the House on a vote of 202 to 132. The House sends its bills to the Senate in what is called Crossover with a deadline of March 27. Accordingly, a mad rush is on to finish voting on all our bills by that date. This means two- and/or three-day sessions […]

Same charge for every member
If you get your electricity from New Hampshire Electric Cooperative, you’ve no doubt noticed the Member Service Charge portion of your bill. It’s a fixed monthly charge that is paid by all Co-op members, regardless of whether you use one kilowatt-hour (kWh) per month or 1,000. No single charge on your monthly electric bill attracts […]
Wouldn't solve problems it addressed
For House Bill 1589-FN, requiring a criminal background check for certain firearms sales or transfers, it was difficult for me and many other New Hampshire State Representatives to decide how to vote.
