Remembering Small Towns

Posted on October 21, 2012 by Rep. Steven Smith
There was an event for Congressman Bass yesterday at One Mile West in Sunapee. It was well attended and it was great to see Ovide Lamontagne and Senator Odell. If you need a reason to vote for Ovide Lamontagne, here it is. I had another event to get to in Lempster at Sturgeon’s right after this event. I asked Ovide if he had time to stop by on his way out. You know how hard it is to get top tier candidates to get to the small towns. Ovide wrote down the address, and pulled into Sturgeon’s ten minutes after we did. If you want a Governor who remembers that not only is there a west side of the state, but that the folks in the small towns matter too, vote for Ovide.

Last Sunday, the organizers of the Harvest Walk collected $3,329, with $200 more due to come in shortly.  That means that the Fall Mountain/Charlestown Food Shelf will be able to buy over 19,000 pounds of food from the New Hampshire Food Bank!

Town Waste Disposal Costs

Posted on October 18, 2012 by Rep. Steven Smith

I met with the Charlestown Selectboard last night to discuss an issue regarding burning wood at the transfer station.  Apparently, as a result of a law suit and legislation from several years ago, towns will lose the ability to burn at the end of 2013.  This will cause costs to rise significantly.  I hope to introduce legislation to fix this in time for next year’s town budget cycle so that the small towns here in Sullivan County know what to expect, and what to plan for.
