I have 2 fundraising cookbooks from groups in the lakes region. They're from the 90s and had some historic recipes in them. I'll check them out. Libraries might have these type of cookbooks you could check out.

My point exactly. Doctors, therapists, counselors, etc, all are qualified to deal with this. Not some potato head in Concord.

I mostly work on code review and design in or planning and architecture firm that works all over the state, but I do have a civil engineering education I do not have a interest in that career path past site analysis and code review. So I've seen/work with my fair share of jurisdictions and their variations on this mandate. As is stated, there are areas where parking make sense and areas where it doesn't. My take is that we have made it a blanket regulation that cover boths those areas to the detriment of the areas where it doesn't.

NH needs to significantly raise the wages for county and state CO’s. You can go right over the border in MA and there’s openings at the state and county level for CO’s with an entry level salary of $65K.

The Valley Street Jail in Manchester (Hillsborough County) has CO jobs posted starting at $18/hr. The jail in Billerica, MA (Middlesex County) has the same job for $31/hr.

I'm sorry, is this an argument FOR some random people in Concord to make restrictions on healthcare?

You're literally trying to exclude parental involvement in their children's education.

What is religion?

Are you a civil engineer? I've lived places that actually have restrictions on parking or 1 spot per unit regardless of # bedroom in places that have poor public transit and it is disastrous.

Also regarding your seacoast project, Manchester is much different. It makes sense in some locations, not all.

If anyone is still putting their faith in these “experts” you must’ve been blind and deaf the past 3 years.

The government != experts.

If that was the case, we would live in a technocracy, which we do not. We live in a democratic republic, which means the loudest and most able to spend to popularize themselves become "leaders". Those are not the people "trust the experts" is saying to trust.

So?

In general, you'll find less east/west routes in the mountainous areas of NH and VT because, well that's just the way it is 😁

What "hate" am I espousing, exactly? I'm all for minding your own business, letting people live their lives in peace and quiet, actually following the laws, not looking for trouble where there is none, getting along with others, taking care of the less advantaged, equality for all, so how is that "hate?"

Housing prices have MUCH more to do with availability than anything. There is a housing shortage in most of NH right now.

I'm not commenting on the bills, I'm commenting on the obtuse and ignorant suggestion to "Trust the experts".

The government, at this point, is virtually indistinguishable from the institutions...acadamia, media, corporations. They are working hand in hand. The "experts" in this space 100% have big governments blessing, we have state officials who feel otherwise.

If you want my comment on the bills, I don't think the government should have any role in this, however as I just pointed out they most certainly do and these bills are the backlash against it. I am more supportive of the second bill, though I would rather have this topic resolved within the cultural sphere.

Can't imagine disagreeing with doctors, psychologists, and health experts on care that has proven time and time again that it is beneficial and much more helpful rather than destructive or corruptive. People really act like someone just decides to remove their child's penis at age 11 when gender-affirmation care is NOT that.

Hormone treatments are also used and supported for many medical issues already existing, heck, I've needed to have extra estrogen since age 14.

Can the politicians focus on things that people actually need fixed like more/cheaper housing, better education, and more accessible health/mental health care ???

Yeah, because white cisgender people are so fucking under attack by the LGBTQ+ community. What an ignorant fucking statement.

It is. But even if you take that stance, it's contrary to the belief and practice of established religions well represented in the state.

That's not what teachers are for.

Sorry, didn't mean to trigger you.

It's not because pronouns are not a religious ritual. That's the dumb take.
