CNHT News

From Ed Naile

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.
