  New Hampshire State Senator David Starr (R-Franconia) recently reported on legislative progress in Concord including asking his constituents to be “pointing out bills that you care about.” There is a bill that I care about and if it passes into state law would result in needed statewide economic development and especially local tax base relief across the expanse of senate district one which is everything north of Plymouth. Senate Bill 310 would allow two casinos in New Hampshire including 5,000 slot machines, 240 table games like blackjack and roulette and the increasingly popular sports betting. If this legislation passes these two casinos would generate at least $134 million dollars a year in revenue to the state treasury. Revenue that could be used to solve many of the issues that now plague the Granite State: better roads, better schools, family leave, more social workers and local property tax relief.

The Wall Street Journal has had some good recent articles about low commodity prices, particularly in the agricultural sector. It's a reality and from a strategy perspective should be most interesting to see where this goes. Some basic economics would say that as supply leaves the market the prices should be coming up. But for whatever reason(s) this doesn't appear the be the case. And not strangely surprising the politicians aren't saying too much. Remember the Farm Bill? Low Commodity Prices Cause Many Things.

To The Editor:    Governor Chris Sununu is headed over to Dubai for a robotics conference. My question is what will this do for New Hampshire?       There can be little doubt that in the evolving sphere of robotics technology there are some big things happening like life changing things. Many New Hampshire schools are now building robotics into their STEM curriculums and there an increasing defense industrial complex in the southern tier of this state that has ties to developing robotic technology.       But Chris Sununu is the Governor of New Hampshire and he isn’t the Commissioner of Education or Business and Economic Affairs and he is leaving the Granite State at a time when there are pressing leadership needs here, whether this is the unfinished state budget or continuing issues in health and human services, transportation infrastructure and more recently, the liquor commission.       In the past I’ve spoken to Governor Sununu when he was an Executive Counci
