How "The Pledge" is hurting our towns and ourselves

This is an article I will be sending to our local on-line newspaper The Forum sometime in the next month, so that it appears just prior to the election in March.  It was inspired by Dean's posts on the pledge and my friend Chaz, who has been working on this for years.

HHS Cuts to Affect Childcare, Medicaid Reimbursement to Hospitals

The Concord Monitor is reporting the cuts that the state Department of Health and Human Services has had to make to close a $43 million budget gap. The reason for this gap? The broken economy has caused more people to seek social services. But the more people need services, the less they can receive. The biggest impact for individuals will likely come from reduced subsidies for child care, as ...

A tax whose broad-based mouth will suck the vigor from New Hampshire's pluck. A tax that kills the jobs we seek but builds the psych...
