Coaliton of NH Taxpayers...e-blast

[davemincin]

Greetings:

   The long hiatus from E-Blasts is hopefully coming to an end after having my mail list crash back in August.

   What is up:

   Today! The Alliance of Derry Taxpayers is in Rockingham Superior Court trying to get their petition for ballot voting before the voters much to the foot-dragging dismay of the Town officials. CNHT helped ADT put their case together and you can read it on the State Issues section of our web site www.cnht.org
   By the way, our web site is about to reach 9,000 hits. We have all kinds of material on it and if you have info from your town just let us know and we may post it. A taxpayer form Gilmanton said he was struggling for years with an issue in his town and received a response from a state department the day after it appeared on our site.

   The Winchester Tax Rebellion is beginning to get the attention of The Board of Tax and Land Appeals regarding the bad assessment done there by the assessing firm of Nyburg and Pervis. At the last hearing in October the owner couldn't answers simple questions about the mistakes in assessments. This time he blew off the meeting altogether. The BTLA is not amused. This may finally have the effect of holding assessing firms accountable all over the state like in Lancaster, Deering, Bedford, Effingham, and Uity, to name a few. CNHT is the only organization following this. The whole State Assessing Standards Board is made up of assessing insiders. That has to change. ( Note: We found another driveway in Bedford listed as an "out building." So if you have two driveways are they listed as two outbuildings? If I pave my driveway is my "outbuilding" worth more? And what is so hard about putting driveway on the assessment card?)

   Westmorland School budget DOWN! Why? FALLING ENROLLMENT!!!! New Hampshire's dirty little education secret is leaking out. Demographics are ramming reality into budgets as less students show up for school each year. Last year NH's total enrollment sank by 2000. Schools are trying to ignore state laws regarding posting the Average Daily Membership totals on the DOE Website until after the annual meetings. This is being done under the lame excuse that school board chairs forget to sign the forms for state reporting.

   CNHT is still working on voter fraud with the various groups from around the state. We think we have the best effort ever and results are coming in and being re-checked by our volunteers.

   Land scams are once again on the warrants and this year the biggest potential losers will be the taxpayers in Windham if the schoolies can persuade voters to buy a piece of landlocked property for a new school they do not need. The Windham school spenders, just like in Bedford a few years back, are trying to break an affordable tuition contract in favor of a new school to "build a sense of community." As usual they will do it by lying to the voters as was done in Bedford with the Flatley Property. That scam went like this: The land is a BUY at $3.9 million because it is WORTH $12 million. In 2004 the same land was assesses at $1.2.

   Strafford still has the 365 acres of "school land" they bought in 2001 and 2002 with an EQUIPMENT LEASE containing an escape clause, as deemed "legal" by their attorney Barbara Loughman, purveyor of the most questionable "legal advice" we have ever seen. If a private company tried the tricks schools use to acquire money, jail terms would be metered out. Since voters in Strafford are seeing a decline in student enrollment and are not voting to build a new school what are they going to do with the 365 acre swamp they paid $500,000.00 for?

   An interesting Letter to the Editor appeared in the Keene sentinel on Feb. 8. It was an apology by one Wayne Imon regretting being a voter in favor of destroying citizens petitioned warrant articles at the Deliberative session of the Monadnock SD meeting. He now understands that it is wrong and illegal to reverse or destroy the meaning of a Citizens Petition just because the school employees attending the deliberative session have enough votes to do it. A Citizens Petition is protected un the First Amendment and by state law until it gets to the Annual Meeting to be voted on by the whole town. A petition's language is prescribed by and protected by the law. This newest trend is being used by school spenders as a stop-gap protection of their industry until we change the law to address it. If NH had a real Attorney General, court system, and Secretary of State this wouldn't happen, but here we are. Wayne Imon for AG!

   Gambling hit the reality skids with the indictment of two NH racetrack owners allegedly involved with NY organized crime. How on Earth will NH officials fix an indictment in another state? Ouch!

   The NH Drug Task Force officers who were involved in drinking on the job and fighting in public got off the hook by hanging together and not cooperating with investigators. The investigators are off the hook of having to prosecute police and all is well until the next time...and there always is. Keep an eye on our CNHT Where Are They Now section of the web site.

   "Ethics" Governor Lynch is still being fawned over by the NH media tax-and-spend toadies in Fosters, The Telegraph, and NHNPR. Lynch still plans on using Jaffery Democrat, Bonnie Mitchell, the ex-New Yorker  turned unlawful sitting State Rep. He will not send his targeted aid plan to the Oligarchs on Noble drive but gets a free pass from the "press."

   The phone jammer hired by the Republican Party gets 5 months in jail. We are still waiting for the prosecution of anyone in the Democrat Party for the annual college voter disinformation campaign. (Don't hold your breath. All the non-resident college student need do is say, "I saw a flyer from the Dems. saying it was legal" and the appropriate "party" gets bagged. See where this is going...nowhere in this state.)

Greetings:

   This E-Blast is the property of CNHT and is sent to taxpayer activists all over NH and the U.S. the opinions and information are exclusively our own.

   Monday, Feb.14, CNHT taped a half hour cable access show with Rep. Pete Hinkle of Merrimack. The show was about NH voter fraud. It will be broadcast on Channel 22.

   Wednesday, Feb. 16, In Derry to tape a program on Assessments with The Alliance of Derry Taxpayers. This program will be shown on their local cable stations and was one of a three part series on the subject. We have a copy of part two that is well worth seeing if you need one for your group. Thanks to ADT for the professional editing.

   Thursday, Feb. 17, All day testimony regarding voter fraud in Concord. We covered several bills dealing with photo ID. Thursday Evening CNHT Radio with guests from Bedford. No, the Bedford school board has not given up on bankrupting a segment of their local population with a $70 million dollar school boondoggle.

   Winchester: the Board of Tax and Land appeals has given an order to Nyberg and Pervis the assessing firm that recently reassessed that town. The firm must issue a $75,000.00 bond and "fix' their first attempt. As you know, the Winchester Tax Rebellion has been putting heat on the company since they finished the first reassessment and did not leave maps of neighborhoods or understandable data for the selectmen to check the validity of their market model.

   This firm, Nyberg and Pervis, was also hired by the Town of Effingham and has had that reassessment thrown out in favor of a new one by a different firm Avitar. Avitar has been ordered by the BTLA to clean up the problems with their reassessment in Deering. They are currently half way through Hillsboro. CNHT warned taxpayers there not to release the bond until the work is satisfactory.

   None of this is news to CNHT or the groups of taxpayer activists we work with because assessments are a very important part of taxation in NH since most taxes we pay here are property based. The NH major media outlets refuse to repot this statewide scandal because most (except the Weirs Times) are part of a good-old-boy network more interested in selling broad based taxes and growing government. The Assessing Standards Board is packed with assessing officials in the "Public" members area. We need to clean up the woefully inept DRA involvement in assessing as well.

   Lynch the Governor has released his Capital Budget much to the fawning press's delight. He is pumping 10 million into LCHIP which anticipated such a move by voting at one of its meetings in October 04 to "Skim" 8% off each land deal they are involved with. The excuse is they need more administrative money. This makes LCHIP a taxing agency which collects taxes in the form of fees without any statutory authority to do so. They are funded through Conservation Plate fees and limited to $200,000.00 per year. Lynch The Governor got a standing ovation from the legislature for end-running their responsibility. Mr. Ethics.

   Lynch The Governor is also getting rave reviews for his "Healthy Kids" spending increase. Problem: Mr. Ethics can not show how many children are in the program, served by the program, or are defined by the program as needing help. The recent state audit of HK shows it is unauditable. Typical.

   Smokers get whacked as do small stores near state borders through the cigarette tax, an old Shaheen staple. His budget is up about 10% and depends on revenue estimates Gov. Benson would have been bludgeoned in the press for proposing. (And a new increase on restaurant food?)

   There are 15 new state trooper positions included in the Lynch plan for the Dept of Safety. We wonder if they are the same 15 positions that sat empty back a few years ago when the state bought cruisers they didn't need to eat up the budget surpluses they had then.

   At least HHS Commissioner Stephen is watching the store.

   We spent the day testifying about voter fraud at the hearings in Concord. The state media came in and got soundbites about how there was none then left. The ACLU and their cronies kept repeating what was and what was not constitutional, like they would know, and the partisan legislators for more fraud would leave at the slightest hint of anything they did not want to hear.

   I got to testify that no matter what you hear about NH clean elections, not prosecuting voter fraud does not mean it is not there. We have given the state ample evidence they dance around every time. The lead dancer, Assistant AG Bud Fitch got a verbal spanking for his foot dragging from Rep. Paul Mirski and me. I hope he liked it, more is on the way at a national level. Go do a google search for "voter fraud arrest" and see for yourself. Other states can define domicile if Bud Fitch can't.

   Good news: Voters in many towns we see are not in a spending mood. Budgets are being carefully scrutinized. Billions are bout to change hands at the school and municipal level. This is where we focus our attention.

   Bad News: NHMA the New Hampshire Municipal Assoc. is now run by the schoolies. They changed their name but not their spots when they added school superintendents to their board. Get your town out of this organization. CNHT will begin showing the seamier side of this group shortly on our web site. www.cnht.org check out "Ethnic Cleansing" while you are there.

3. Hey Stupid! Your Microphone Is On
4. Bare-knuckle Knuckleheads

As reported in today's Union Leader (Manchester Edition), a story we have know about since last week.

   Three of Bedford's finest school spenders Phil Bruno, Peter Wellagora and "Chuck" Grau (a lawyer no less, with Upton and Hatfield LLC, a firm that represents schools and towns) were preparing for their little Cable Access show "Between The Lines" on Bedford Community TV last Friday evening at 6 pm. Their preparations consisted of some discussion about how they would have to demonize one Haig Yagoobian, a local taxpayer who has put countless hours into a proposal for a private high school for Bedford's students currently enrolled in a tuition contract with Manchester. Haig's proposal would compete with their desire for a new $70 million dollar high school. A boondoggle project defeated countless times over the years.

   Now the fun part. As they sat talking, the conversation turned "Bedford-like" and suggestions as how to make Mr. Yagoobian look like a "terrorist" evolved. They had no idea the program was transmitting live!!!

   Enter one plucky member of the audience who promptly began writing down each comment in the slander plan as it was hatched. CNHT knew within hours. We were waiting to see if the press would report the activity and we commend the UL's Scott Dolan for doing so in an even handed article. 

   It is not often the public gets a glimpse of what school construction supporters do to their opponents. Many of CNHT's Directors and supporters have been slandered repeatedly. This is an eye-opener for beginners.

   Yes the tape will in all probability be erased or "edited" before we get a hard copy so the live plot to destroy Haig Yagoobian's character will not be available for our library in Concord. But the citizen who grabbed pen and paper knew what was at stake and we have this one for posterity. This is a lesson we should all keep in mind. Get evidence, and get it fast!

   CNHT has worked with the taxpayer activists in Bedford, fighting to keep their high school kids in an affordable, quality school students overwhelmingly want to stay with. We have seen and been subject to the infantile hand gestures, heard the demeaning comments and shouts of "Nazis" at the petition signature takers on voting day. The continual over-the-top hate-letters to the editors in the local "Happy Papers" aimed at anyone opposed to a construction bond over the last two years have only served to weaken the schoolies cause.

   We have had Haig Yagoobian and his Bedford Academy Plan on our radio program several times even though it competes with the tuition plan put forward by the taxpayer group. Haig has never been anything but open, honest, and a gentleman. Lets hope this final fiasco sheds much needed light into what school spenders will stoop to get their way.

   While we are on the subject. Ask yourself this question. It came up during our last CNHT Taxpayer Radio program Haig was a guest on.

   Do people with nothing more than a desire for a new school go to these lengths to assassinate people's character or is it some back room land investment deal on the part of some proponents who are looking for school-funded municipal improvements to roads with commercial property? We have seen incidents of school board members in other towns championing new construction only to resign from the board to become paid clerks of the works. There are "volunteers" who work for companies that build schools who "help" municipalities they live in "plan" construction bid on by their firm. We have seen school bus contracts negotiated with specific firms in mind. You never find out until AFTER the issue is voted on but the pattern of strange behavior by school officials and supporters is usually a tip-off.

   There is definitely something more than meets the eye in Bedford if the character assassination plot by the bond proponents is any indication.

Greetings:
This E-Blast, its opinions, news, and information are solely the property of CNHT. It is sent to taxpayer activists all over NH and the US.

Several items, and an important one at the end.

#1. Here is how the Dept. of Education figures no one will find out about falling enrollments. See the email from them to me:
Ed:  Mike Schwartz indicated that you had inquired about fall enrollment numbers for 2004-05.  Those are currently being reviewed for errors prior to publication so they are not finalized as yet.  You will be able to access them on the Department website at www.ed.state.nh.us in the near future. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Bureau of Information Services at 271-2778. Anne

I have a question. Why bother collecting the information if you can't get it out in six months? This happened last year as well. How about loss of funding penalties for schools that do not comply with state law. Taxpayers need to make decisions based on facts. Many of us would like to know if the statewide student enrollment or enrollment in our individual schools went down again this year before we vote on more spending.

#2. The Merrimack Porcupines (Free-Staters) had a dilly of a time Saturday. Jane, Howard and I went to their gathering after the CNHT Executive Board meeting in Concord. Millie's Pub in Manchester almost ran out of chairs and tables.

#3. Kevin Landrigan of the Telegraph spent much of his most recent article taking shots FORMER Gov. Benson (Its the end of February already!). Looks like he doesn't want to comment on "Mr. Ethics, The Boy Governor" until after he walks off the end of the rosy revenue projection plank.

#4. Gerry Johnson, Bob Gallagher, and Arnold Waldner, along with two other Directors of The Bedford Taxpayer Association are up against an "off the reservation" chairman, Roy Stewart, who has taken up with the "let's build a school we don't need" crowd and is making public announcements without a majority vote of the board. Roy's pro-schoolies are in utter turmoil since his newest strange behavior after several of them got caught live on cable TV plotting character assassinations against their opponents. (You can't make this stuff up.) Let's hope the whole thing blows up in their tax-and-spend faces once and for all for the sake of the taxpayers in that town. The school is riddled with behind the scenes costs. The school board is totally untrustworthy as it is without giving them $60 million dollars to waste. If you know anyone in Bedford get them to vote against the boondoggle high school plan. Enrollments are dropping and Bedford just spent $10 million fixing Manchester schools their high school students tuition to.

#5. (And I just sent a CNHT package of Elderly Exemption info off to a small town taxpayer activist.) Surprise! The Center for Public Policy Studies has come out, as usual, right before town meeting with "study" questioning RSA 72: 39-a, the Elderly Taxpayer Exemption. The Center's study raises concerns about "shifting the burden" of property taxes onto people under 65. Would those be the people who have been voting in all the $20-$40 million dollar school bonds since 1999? What about all the school spending shifted onto elderly homeowners over the years? The Center is kidding, right?

   It looks like The Center once again doesn't like the taxpayer involvement part of this statute. Just like with SB2, which in 2002 the Center finally gave up trying to weaken with last minute studies, voters INSIDE the town make decisions regarding their spending. The state has little say in what the voters use for means testing the Elderly Exemption. It is a real grass roots - home rule RSA, custom fit for each community. CNHT has been promoting it for years as a local option measure to balance school spenders who are very effective mobilizing politically for school spending, while caring little about anyone or anything else.  (See: Bedford and Windham.) The Center hardly mentions the five year residency requirement for getting an exemption. Wouldn't it be novel to have the mobile voters who approve new schools stick around to pay off the bonds like our fixed-income residents have to!

#6. As you head to the polls remember: There is no such thing as "grandfathered uses or property" zoning is a land use REGULATION the zoners and planners want all properties to eventually comply with. And the courts back them up! (Except their own it often seems) Moral to the story: Don't let your town's centralized planners take all your property rights away no matter how good the scheme sounds. If you don't like that argument try this. Never vote for land use regulations that are not discussed at a meeting or deliberative session where you can amend them. If land regulations are on a yes/no ballot, vote no!

#7. We were very excited when our web site hit 8,000. That was just a week ago and now it looks like 10,000 is just around the corner. Let us know if there is something going on in your town we can post. We want to cover as much of NH as possible.

#8. This month is our membership month. Join CNHT if you want, we can use the support. If not join a group you are more interested in but please help out and keep NH a small government beacon of freedom. (All our info is on the site.)

Important stuff!!!!

[CNHT]

Hey guys,
If you want the e-Blasts into your own little mailbox, just go to www.cnht.org and sign up. It doesn't cost anything (although we would welcome any donations) and you can be sure to read about all the stuff that is happening all over the state.

Ed puts enormous amounts of time into his volunteer 'job' as Chair of CNHT and prepares these missives just so folks will know what chicanery is going on all around the state so they can be prepared to fend it off in their own towns!

Getting the e-Blasts in your own mailbox saves people from having to pass them around.
I had posted one to the Porc Yahoo groups that I knew of (Monadnock, Seacoast, Merrimack) but it was just a 'sample' to whet your appetites for signing up on your own which I hope you will do. I am not going to post anymore of them because it could become annoying to those who already get the information.

See you all at Margot's on Saturday?!

As it is public property, someone should get a Court Order for the tape.

This was a very despicable situation indeed. When Mr. Yaghoobian requested tapes from the station he was told there were none. Also I was told by the station manager that only the owner of the program can release the tapes. But this whole incident is an example of just what kind of thing we are up against in Bedford.

When this Atty who works for many towns and school boards as their legal counsel was caught saying he was planning 'vicious personal attacks' on live TV, that was pretty sweet. (Not that we did not know they thought this way) One of 'us' took notes and they did a story in the Bedford Journal, the UL, and even on WMUR-TV. Of course the Bedford Bulletin made not one mention of it, true to form, was protection their 'own'.

Be wary of the press!

   We had a great April One event at Dartmouth College protesting to be allowed to vote in the Dartmouth Trustee election. Our pictures and story are posted on the Dartmouth Review web site www.dartlog.net and the photos were there even before we got back to Concord. (Thanks DR)
   Now it is time to send in your "ballots" for Peter Robinson and Todd Zywiki. We know as much about these candidates as any Dartmouth student/voter from out of state knows about the NH candidates they vote for or against.
   You can "vote" by sending along with your ballot any proof of NH residency such as a receipt from a NH pizza parlor or Chinese restaurant. If you do not have positive ID such as a Restaurant Guest Slip, swear out an affidavit and sign X. Or just say your homeless, then they have to take it.
   Emails are just as legal as ballots if I am correctly comparing Assistant Attorney General Bud Fitch's legal analogy regarding out of state students voting in NH. As long as you are a "trustee in your mind on the day you vote" anything goes. I hope we make a difference!!!

   I went to a Concord City Council meeting last night. On display was your typical cabal of liberal officials. They stare into space like it is a bother being in the room with the great unwashed. The mayor would not take any "tough" questions such as "Where are the ethics rules you promised to create when you campaigned?" That answer is self evident when he was Mayorly non-answering other questions regarding where public funds are going when it comes to Concord Cable TV. The Mayor used the time honored "I will not dignify that question with an answer" answer. (That is the first lesson you pick up in Mayor school.)
   Just like in Manchester, the Concord Cable TV station is a political roosting place for birds of a feather. (Before I go on I should reveal that I was the program director for the most popular/controversial show CCTV ever had... seriously.)
   Stay tuned for an expose' on CCTV as I gather, digest and simplify the 990 Charitable Org. Filings. Until then, think of CCTV as needing "smell detectors" like the Concord Sewage Treatment Plant. (Now there is a shimmering, stinking example of city project success..if your a blow fly.)

   New venture: A few of us activists met this morning to discuss combining efforts on House member scorecards. Gun Owners does one, Cornerstone Policy Research, The House Republican Alliance, and NH Liberty Alliance all do one as well. Why not combine efforts to expose anti-constitutionalists (anti-second amendment) and people who call themselves Republicans but vote against the party platform almost every time. RINO's used to vote for an income tax and we would drive them from office. Now they cheerfully avoid that tactic and in its place vote for the minimum wage/small business tax, really important things like bicycle helmets (until one single parent gets a $35 fine and the bleep hits the reality fan), birth control for minors who are not allowed to get tattoos??????? And a whole phalanx of liberal, feel-good non-sense. We even had to kill unbridled eminent domain for regional water districts.

   Update: Google Search for: Chuck McGee phone jamming = 11,700 sites. As opposed to: Sandy Burger misdemeanor = 544 sites. More of a reason to not buy into the "NEWS" you get from the national media, or for that matter most media. If there was a real investigative journalist in this entire state you would see a story about and maybe a picture of Jessie Burchfield. Don't know who he is? I rest my case. (Our Chuck gets top billing over Clinton's National Security advisor stealing sensitive documents from the National Archives?)

   Speaking of journalistic failure: The "Manchester Union Leader" has suddenly changed its name to "The NH Union Leader." No surprise they should change the name since they changed their spots years ago and are now just like all the rest of the state's papers. At NH Taxpayer radio we have been calling them "The Manchester Paper" for several years to point out the largely Democrat nature of the two. 

   It looks like the Deaniacs are winning the Letter To The Editor contest going on in papers all over NH. (They are the only ones participating) But what else are you to do after you launched the most successful losing presidential race in history. Think about it. All those groomed voter lists and activists purchased with tons of Democrat and left wing money spent in NH before November 2. Your only alternative in NH since you elected the "Boy Governor" any sane Dem. is afraid to let out of the box, is to mount a whiny LTE blitz at Gregg, Sununu, Bass and Bradley about "Anwar" or the "Sacred Filibuster."

   Read about the oil spill in Gilmanton at the LCHIP supervised conservation property? No probably not. Want to see pictures? Check our site. We have an activist out there who has done some fine research about how certain non-profits can skirt zoning, environmental, DES, and dozens of other laws and regulations before an arms length list of turned up bureaucratic noses. Here is a sample: from Mr. Berry of DES:  "the site is contained and the heating oil is only a light oil.......the sun will burn it right off." Taxpayers should look long and hard a LCHIP funding before supporting an organization that sets different standards for themselves.

   Here is a warm and fuzzy from the town of Grafton (Graft in Grafton - Yes a Ton of it). It seems that back around town meeting time a couple of supervisors of the checklist grabbed "a police official" and went to a Notary to get that Notary to notarize a voter checklist.............post-dated to NOVEMBER 2 OF LAST YEAR!!!!
   See criminal statutes for tampering with public documents and false swearing. RSA's 641:7 and 641:2. The "police official" said no thanks ladies. The Notary, opted out of the scheme to defeat a petitioned warrant article by switching lists and depriving the petitioner of the total number of signatures need.

   Hampton: What, no dancing in the streets? Not in your bare feet anyway. It seems some public officials are being targeted by individuals who stand to lose government gravy after voters snipped $3 million from the bloat in that burg. A box of nails was thrown on the driveway of one Budget Committee member's driveway. (A guy who attended our workshop last April.) And a note appeared one officials barn asking if he thought the fire department would show up if there was a fire.
   Reality check # 1. When yuppies converge and pass a huge unaffordable bond upon some little town which will drive the locals out of their homes, the "happy papers" quote the delirious, dancing, smiling, hugging, victors with saying wonderful things like "Now we can move forward" or "Let's put all the negativity behind us." Of course the "happy papers" never show the dark side of how yuppies "win."
   But let some town's voters opt out of a ride on the municipal bankruptcy bandwagon and this is what we see..."negativity."

   Top Secret: Who is running the show in Concord, as in, really doing the work of looking out for billions of tax dollars?
   
   Is it the Boy Governor? - No, he his avoiding controversy just like the Shaheen crowd is telling him to do.

   Might it be the "Speaker of the House" - Don't think he has enough time between making deals with the Dems. and his beloved RINO Party, not to mention floor fights with the Republican base.

   The Executive Council?   Hmmmm. They might be keeping their heads a little lower until the "Gifts" thing completely blows over.

   That leaves us with one person: HHS Commissioner John Stephen who is actually doing the yeoman's work in this state justifying every expenditure in the largest budget we have!!
