CALL OF THE SESSION
WHEREAS, the House of Representatives
adjourned from the 1981 regular session sine
die on September 28, 1981, and
WHEREAS, Section 39, Chapter 558 Session
Laws of 1981 contemplated that the federal
government would make certain block grants
of funds available to the state and requires
the General Court to specifically
appropriate such funds before the Governor
and Council or any State entity can expend
said funds, and
WHEREAS, the federal government has made
block grant funds available and requires the
state to notify it in a timely manner if it
decides to accept block grant funds, and
WHEREAS, the legislature has not taken
affirmative action on five of the seven
block grants, and
WHEREAS, the United States District
Court for the District of New Hampshire has
issued an order in the matter of Garrity v.
Gallen compliance with which will require
the appropriation and expenditure of funds
in addition to those provided for in Chapter
568 Session Laws of 1981, and
WHEREAS, federal law requires that
districts for elective office be
reapportioned every 10 years to insure equal
representation within districts and the
legislature has not taken final action to
reapportion said districts, and
WHEREAS, the impact of certain laws
enacted during the I981 regular session was
not fully foreseen, requiring the enactment
of corrective legislation, and
WHEREAS, three state agencies will
terminate on March 31, 1982, under the
provisions of RSA 17-H, absent action by the
legislature, and
WHEREAS, changes in federal tax laws,
interpretations of various provisions of the
operating budget, and inadequate funding
levels of some departments, have created the
possibility of an imbalance between
available revenue and authorized or required
spending, and
WHEREAS, necessary budget reductions and
adjustments can be accomplished only through
legislative action, and
WHEREAS, prompt legislative action is
required to provide for adequate cash flow
into the State Treasury,
NOW, THEREFORE, because we deem that the
welfare of the State so requires, by the
powers vested in the Governor and Council by
Article 50 Part Two of the Constitution of
New Hampshire we hereby call the General

We Further Resolve that the Secretary of
State be, and he hereby is, authorized and
directed to communicate this resolution to
the President and the Speaiker, and to each
member of the General Court as soon as it is
possible to do so.
The Clerk read the Call of the Special
Session.

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for
Your care and for the many good things
received through Your fatherly concern for
all of us.

Naturally," guest of Reps. Bosse and

SENATE MESSAGE
The Honorable Senate has assembled and
is now ready to proceed with the business of
the 1981-1982 Special Session and is ready
to meet with the House of Representatives in
Joint Convention for the purpose of
receiving his Excellency, the Governor.
JOINT CONVENTION
(Speaker presiding)
The Speaker introduced Governor Hugh J.
Gallen.
Honorable Members of the General Court:
It has been more than four years since
the members of the House and Senate last
assembled in this historic building to begin
a Special Session of the New Hampshire
Legislature. In that interval much has
happened and much has changed.
We have passed three state operating
budgets, three capital budgets and more than
1, 100 new laws.
We have had two statewide elections and
you assemble today with a different
Governor, Senate President and House Speaker
than when you last began a Special Session
in the Summer of 1977.
It might also appear that some things
remain the same. The last special session
was called because the state entered a
biennium without an operating budget in
place. This special session convenes
largely in response to the budget problems
now facing New Hampshire. There, however,
the similarity ends, because we are now
witnessing fundamental changes in the nature
of budget issues and in the role of
government. The success of this special
session, the success of the next regular
session and ultimately, the success of our
collective ability to lead New Hampshire
through a period clouded with economic
uncertainty, will be measured by our
capacity to deal with these fundamental
changes.
I will devote most of my remarks to
these changes, and to both the short term
and long term budget problems and issues
facing state government. But as you know,
there are some non-budget issues which are
on the agenda for this special session. And
so, I would like first to briefly outline
for you my positions on those matters.
First, you have before you various bills
to correct errors or oversights of
legislation passed during the regular
session. I urge you to look carefully at
the effect of the original law which you
enacted, the changes which would result from
the amendments which will now be brought
before you, and then enact what you believe
to be the best policy for the state of New
Hampshire. I will support those efforts.
In particular, among these items, I urge
you to move quickly to restore the eminent
domain powers of the Public Utilities
Commission which were inadvertently removed
as part of sunset review of the Eminent
Domain Commission. I know that your
presiding officers join me in making this
urgent request.
Second, you must finalize in the coming
weeks bills which will redraw lines for the
House and Senate, Executive Council and
Congressional Districts. On this issue my
position is very simple: if the bills which
are ultimately presented to me can be
demonstrated to be free of any hidden agenda
to either help or hurt some particular area,
or constituency, or individual, or party,
and if they are the product of a determined
bi-partisan effort to structure districts in
line with constitutional requirements, then
they will unquestionably receive my support.
Third, you must resolve the fate of
three state agencies which are scheduled for
termination under the sunset law on March
31, 1982. Each of these agencies — the
Liquor Commission, the Nursing Board and the
Real Estate Commission — failed to win
renewal during the regular session because
of various political issues which were for
the most part unrelated to their operation.
It is tiiae to put politics aside. It is
time to seek out compromise. I have tried
to do this with your leadership on the
Liquor Commission, and I believe that we are
very close to achieving a compromise. I
hope you will do the same with the other two
agencies, so that bills renewing all three
will reach my desk at an early date.
And finally, I will be asking for your
cooperation and support in revising our laws
dealing with the criminally insane. We must
write legislation that more fully protects
the public while withstanding constitutional
challenges.
HOUSE JOURNAL 17NOV81
All of these non-budget issues are
important. But I think we can all agree
that most of our time and attention during
the coming weeks will be devoted to issues
relating to the state operating budget. You
will be presented today with two
budget-related bills upon which I urge you
to take immediate and favorable action.
When you met in recall session last
September, you postponed action on most of
the block grants which are available to the
state. Since that recall day, your
committees have held hearings to review the
plans of relevant state agencies for the
administration and expenditure of these
grants. Today you will be asked to accept
all but one of the available block grants.
Today you will be asked to approve these
grants, I urge you to do so, so that the
various departments of the Executive Branch
can begin processing the necessary paperwork
so that these grants can be accepted by the
December 1st deadline, and can be expended
beginning January 1st.
Second, you will also be asked to
approve legislation increasing, for the
remainder of this biennium, the state's
short-term borrowing ceiling. I am sure you
are all aware that some payments to local
communities have been delayed because the
Treasurer has simply not had the necessary
cash flow to back up those payments.
Obviously, the deficit position in which the
state began this biennium is the cause of
this problem. But the problem also
highlights other important issues which I
believe must be addressed.
When the debt ceiling was last
increased, a decade ago, the 40 million
dollar limit represented about 40 percent of
the annual general fund cash flow. The 60
million dollar ceiling, which you will
hopefully approve today, will represent only
about 20 percent of our current annual
general fund cash flow. But as the size of
the budget, the size of our cash flow, the
size of our various disbursements to local
communities have all grown in the last
decade, the state's methods of managing that
cash flow have not changed.
The Governor's Management Review, which
is now completing its work and which will
report to all of us early next year, is
looking at the state's cash management
policies. As an interim measure, I have
issued an Executive Order to speed the flow
of revenue into the Treasury. And even
after you approve the debt ceiling today, I
urge you to continue to look at this issue
and to work with us in the Executive Branch,
and ultimately with the recommendations of
the Management Review, to improve the
financial management of the state.
This is important, not only because
improved financial management means
additional revenue to the state from
interest on deposits, but also because it
will be imperative that we have
sophisticated and modern management systems
in place if we are going to successfully
deal with the many changes of the new era
which is now upon us. Very simple, we are
obligated to squeeze everything we can out
of every available dollar.
After you conclude work on these
immediate agenda items, it is my
understanding that you will recess until
early next year. At that time, you will
begin to make the hard and painful decisions
which an era of fundamental change in
government requires. I want to outline for
you today the approach which my
Administration will take in preparing
specific recommendations to deal with the
immediate budget problems and the
longer-term financial issues which state
government faces. A rational strategy for
dealing with all of these issues requires,
at the outset, an understanding of how state
government came to its present condition.
Simply stated. New Hampshire has been
living beyond its means for quite a long,
long period of time. Over that period,
successive governors and legislatures have
used, one by one, most of the available
short-term solutions to maintain the
appearance of a state living within its
available revenue. The obvious hazards of
this approach have been compounded by a
growing dependence on a single revenue
source which is highly responsive to
national economic trends, which are
obviously beyond our control. Demands for
spending in some areas are accelerated by
the very economic trends which depress
revenue. And the inadequate systems for
day-to-day financial management which I have
already mentioned weaken what little control
we have over the "boom or bust" relationship
between the national economy and the state
budget.
In the l4-year period from Fiscal Year
1968 through 1981, State government spent
more than it received in general fund
revenue in nine different years. That
time-span covers the administrations of five
House Speakers, six Senate Presidents, and
four Governors of both major parties and a
wide range of philosophies.
This record would have been even worse,
had it not been for the fact that in some
years general fund revenues exceeded
projections. For instance, in 1979,
Business Profits Tax revenues were 50
percent above the projection which the
Legislature and Governor had agreed on in
passing the budget for that year. Had it
not been for such unforeseen good fortune,
New Hampshire would have spent more than it
received in even more years than nine of the
last 14.
Why is it, then, that New Hampshire has
not been rolling in deficits for most of the
last decade and a half? I have already
touched on one of the reasons — the fact
that we were the recipients of occasional
unforeseen revenue bonuses. In addition, we
started this whole period with a slight
surplus. Also, early in the last decade the
state began to receive annual allotments of
federal revenue sharing funds. We treated
this money as if it were a regular general
fund revenue, even though we had no control
in it.
All of these things helped close the
annual gap, helped preserve the image of a
state living within its means, while year
after year actual expenditures exceeded
actual general fund receipts.
Now, the illusion of the last decade and
a half has been broken. The collapse of the
national economy rippled through the state
system, in the last biennium, depressing
HOUSE JOURNAL 17NOV81
revenue projections while at the same time
increasing demands for services. Revenue
sharing for the states was abruptly
terminated. And, frankly, we all shared in
some poor luck. Certainly, few of us could
have anticipated two virtually snowless
winters, a summer of gas line panics and the
burning of a five million dollar revenue
source — all within a single biennium.
On top of all of this. New Hampshire's
political system did not respond as well as
it should. In your recall session in the
spring of 1980, I proposed, and your
leadership, as a courtesy to the Executive
Branch, sponsored legislation which would
have reduced state spending for the second
year of the biennium. Had that legislation
been adopted, savings would have been
generated to offset much of the Fiscal 81
deficit, and we would have then had a
reasonable chance at making further
reductions early in the last regular session
and ending the biennium on balance.
Unfortunately, the bill was not passed.
In its place, some minimal reductions were
ordered by the Advisory Budget Control
Committee. But by the time the Legislature
next convened in January of this year, the
problem had grown to such a dimension that
you rightly determined that it was simply
not possible to reduce the budget
sufficiently to eliminate the deficit in the
short time remaining in that fiscal year.
Thus, we entered this biennium with a
deficit. Some would say that the 1982-83
budget both eliminates that deficit and
restores fiscal stability, by bringing
annual revenue above annual expenditures by
the end of this biennium. They would
contend that our problems are solved. That
contention is simply false. It is based
upon three assumptions, all of which are
invalid.
First, it assumes that revenue
projections are correct. There are two
immediate problems in this area. In my
budget address last February, I warned of
the need to take action to offset a decline
in Business Profits Tax revenue because of
the impact of federal tax law changes.
Those federal changes are now in effect and
as businesses take advantage of accelerated
depreciation allowances, and thus reduce
their taxable income, our tax revenue will
also be reduced.
It is admittedly difficult to say with
certainty exactly what the impact of this
will be, because we cannot know for certain
how rapidly, or to what extent, businesses
will take advantage of the new federal tax
law. Indeed, the clear fact that the
economy is not recovering as predicted means
that capital investment is not being made,
and tuus tusre is no nsw depreciation to be
taken.
But, the fact that the immediate impact
of that change may be less than we had
anticipated, does not alter the reality that
there will be an impact, and it will be
negative. To offset that, I am asking that
you pass hold-harmless language which will
insulate our Business Profits Tax from the
accelerated depreciation allowance at the
federal level. In simple terms, this
amendment to our tax law will allow
businesses the full benefit of previous
depreciation deductions, but not allow —
for state tax purposes only — accelerated
depreciation. It will not produce
additional revenue for the state. It will
not deprive any business of the new benefits
of the Reagan tax cut on their federal
return. It will not mean that any business
will have to pay New Hampshire more than
they would have prior to those tax law
changes. I urge you to pass this
hold-harmless amendment at the earliest
possible date.
Unfortunately, there are other problems
on the revenue side. In particular, in
order to balance the budget, you enacted a
$250 minimum Business Profits Tax. This tax
is an attack on small business. It is bad
tax policy and it is of dubious
constitutionality. It may well be
challenged in Court, and we must recognize
now the great likelihood that such a
challenge may well succeed.
The second false assumption in the
current budget is that the particular
relationship between how much money we
appropriated, and how much money departments
will actually spend, will be similar to that
of the last 15 years. Throughout that
period, actual spending has been, on
average, 4.1 percent less than total
appropriations. With the exception of the
budget of the Legislative branch and a
limited number of other areas, these unspent
funds lapse at the end of each fiscal year.
This budget, as other budgets before it,
anticipates that lapse. It anticipates that
a percentage of the total money appropriated
— the figure this time is three percent —
won't be spent. The budget is balanced
against anticipated spending, but not
against the higher level of total
appropriations .
Based upon past experience, it might
seem that the assumption is valid. But the
rules of the game have changed. The
principal reason for those lapses in the
past has been the fact that state law placed
various restrictions on the transfer of
funds from one budget line item to another.
For instance, if a department had extra
money in its personnel account because a
position was vacant for a period of time, it
could not move that money to some other line
or spend it for some other purpose. The
extra money stayed in the personnel line,
and lapsed at the end of the year. But as
you well know, the current budget removes
all such restrictions on transfers.
The budget estimates that nearly 18
million general fund dollars will be
appropriated but not spent in this
biennium. By removing restrictions on
transfers, you have ensured that most of
that money will, in fact, be spent. But
there is no revenue to support that
spending. To offset this, all transfer
restrictions should be re-imposed. But at a
minimum, I urge you to approve a freeze on
state hiring and prohibit transfers from
personnel accounts, at least until final
decisions on the budget are made in
January. I know that this proposal will be
resisted because of the political commitment
to the so-called management concept. But I
ask you to keep in mind that when we strip
away the rhetoric, you find that the
commitment to the so-called management
HOUSE JOURNAL 17NOV81
concept is a practical commitment to
spending, beyond revenue, — deficit
spending — of as much as 18 million dollars.
The third assumption of the current
budget is that it is a complete budget, that
no additional demands for spending will be
made, or that any that are made will not be
legitimate and need not be honored. And
that, as we all know, is also false.
Whether it is the Laconia State School, the
operation of the Liquor Commission, the
state employees pay raise, the maintenance
of state armories, or anything else, there
are a host of demands which some in this
room, and in most cases a majority in this
room, believe are legitimate and believe
must be met. But like the phoney lapse
figure, every one of those demands is — at
this moment — an expenditure not backed by
revenue.
This is the short-term problem which we
face, and which we must resolve before the
end of this special session.
I will outline, this morning, my
priorities for funding and the approach
which I will be taking in the next several
weeks to generate sufficient funds for those
priorities. But beyond that, I also want to
speak about the long-term problem facing New
Hampshire, a problem which is ultimately far
more serious than the money for immediate
demands.
Of the many requests for supplemental
appropriations which will come before you in
the next several weeks, none is more
important, none is more consistent with the
fundamental purpose and obligation of
government, that the nearly 15 million
dollar request which you will receive to
fund our program for the Laconia State
School. Sometime in January, you will pass
legislation making various amendments to the
state operating budget. If that legislation
does not meet this need, it will be vetoed.
I will take that action, not because failure
to enact this program would ignore a legal
obligation which we are now under, but
rather because such a failure would renounce
a moral obligation which the state has
ignored for far too long.
The other significant areas which I
recommend for additional funding are as
follows: funds are needed to meet our
commitment, keep our word, and provide for
the balance of our contractual obligation
with the state employees. We obviously need
to continue the operation of the State
Liquor Commission and its stores. It would
be foolish to cripple the ability of this
agency to continue to raise revenue which is
so badly needed in so many other areas.
Funds are needed to meet obligations at the
State Prison. We must provide sufficient
money to the State Treasurer to meet the
increased cost of borrowing, a cost which
has been brought about by the lengthy period
of devestatingly high interest rates, which
affect the state as much as they affect
businesses or individuals. I also favor
funding a limited number of, relatively
speaking, small requests. Two in particular
that have already been brought to the
attention of the Fiscal Committee are the
reclassification of positions at the Youth
Development Center, and the maintenance of
state armories.
While these items alone represent more
than 40 million dollars in additional
general fund spending, I am sure that they
are by no means the only requests which will
be brought to you or to me in the coming
weeks. I believe that these are the ones
that are most important. In fact, these are
the ones that are more important than some
of the things which we are doing and paying
for now.
Outlining a list of priorities is easy.
The hard task is finding the money to fund
those priorities. First, let me indicate
the solutions which are unacceptable. No
one in this room, and no one in this state
can be unaware of my commitment to the
people on the issue of a sales or income
tax. And no one in this room, and no one in
this state should think, even for a moment,
that I would fail to honor that commitment.
But short of a sales or income tax, you will
almost certainly be presented with a variety
of other revenue proposals. I want to speak
to a particular kind of tax proposal, and
then make a more general comment on the
possibility of increased revenue being a
part of our solution to New Hampshire's
short-term problems.
Without question, some of the tax
proposals which will be brought up during
this special session would increase state
taxes on the business community. In the
last session, the Business Profits Tax was
changed in a variety of ways that are
projected to extract more than 41 million
dollars from New Hampshire's business
community during this biennium.
Much is changing in the taxation of
business at both the state and national
levels. Part of our long-term activity must
be the sorting out of the real impact of all
of these changes. For example, once all of
the provisions of the federal tax cut fully
take effect, the taxable income of most
businesses will be cut to such a degree,
that the higher business profits tax rate
enacted earlier this year will produce less
revenue, and a smaller tax liability for any
given business, than the old eight percent
rate under the old federal law. But these
federal changes have not yet taken hold.
Instead, businesses are suffering through a
deepening recession. And whatever the
future may hold, the immediate reality of 41
million dollars in new business taxes cannot
be denied.
Accordingly, I reject any and all
business tax increases as a means to solving
our short-term problem. I reject all of
those which were before you during the
regular session including the one percent
gross profits tax which I proposed, as well
as any new business tax proposals which some
well-intentioned person might dream Up in
the coming weeks.
We must evaluate the full impact of the
various federal tax changes, because in
truth, they may provide a tremendous
windfall for the business community. After
that evaluation, we must adopt a sensible
business tax policy, rather than simply
considering more business taxes. But until
that long-term effect is complete it is time
to say, to businesses large and small across
our state, enough is enough.
HOUSE JOURNAL 17NOV81
There will be other non-business tax
proposals which will assuredly come before
you. Faced with the painful choice of
cutting programs, the option of quickly
resorting to new revenue will seem extremely
appealing. But before you leap to that
option, I ask you to consider two facts.
One is that while many of you in this
room undoubtedly believe that we have
already cut programs too much, I would
suspect that you could also identify some
department, some agency, some program which
you believe is not essential, which you
believe could be cut. I believe that the
people of New Hampshire share that sentiment.
The other is that during the regular
session you increased general fund revenue
for this biennium — from changes in
distributions between the state and
municipalities, from increases in existing
taxes and from new taxes — by more than 98
million dollars. How can we possibly
entertain the prospect of adding even more,
when we can all still identify additional
areas for budget reductions? I say to you
that we simply cannot ask the people of this
state to dig even deeper into their pockets
until we have conclusively demonstrated that
government is truly doing only those things
which are .essential, and doing them as
efficiently as it possibly can. And
Senators and Representatives, I say to you
that through 15 years of living beyond our
means, this state government has not
demonstrated that case to its people.
Beginning tomorrow, my office will be
meeting with representatives of many of the
various interest groups which work with
various state departments. We will be
asking their advice on what aspects of
departmental programs are inefficient, or
are non-essential. We will also be
consulting with department heads to
determine their program priorities. We will
be developing a series of proposed budget
reductions to be presented to you and your
committees by the time you return in January
to begin addressing in earnest our
short-term problems.
These proposals will be sufficient to
fund the priorities which I have listed for
you today. The goal of this effort will not
be to simply slash numbers from a budget
sheet. It will be to look at the program
which those numbers symbolize, and to
identify those which I believe to be of less
importance than my priorities.
As these proposals emerge during the
next several days and weeks they will, I am
sure, encounter stiff resistance.
There is not a single state program
which does not have some kind of
constituency. For too long state government
has responded to these constituencies. Now,
we must evaluate the claims of those
constituencies, and where the claims are
weak, they must be rejected. Weak claims
for state funding must be rejected even if
they come from powerful constituencies. The
proposals which I will make during the
coming weeks would produce a state
government which will do less; but which
will do a better job at those things which
it continues to do. And, make no mistake,
njy proposals will yield a state government
that will do its work with less state
employees. And employee reductions will
come not just from the lowest labor grades,
but from every level.
I am prepared to take the criticism of
the various constituencies because I am
convinced that only by taking this course,
only by squeezing out all of the excess of
state government, only by shaping a
government that does fewer things but does
them better, only by demonstrating that we
have not a government with a management
concept, but a government of managers, can
we both resolve our immediate short-term
budget problems and prepare ourselves to
deal with the long-term issues which lie
ahead.
There are two such long-term issues
which stand out above all others. First,
the role of the national government is
undergoing a fundamental redefinition. The
federal government is consciously deciding
that there are many areas in which it has
been involved, which now should be left to
the states. In many cases, that decision at
the federal level will mean that a
particular activity simply will not be done
by government at all. But in many other
cases, the decision will be not that an
activity should no longer be pursued, but
rather that it should be pursued by a
different level of government. And in most
of those cases, that different level of
government will be the states.
At the same time, the federal government
is consciously deciding to sharply reduce
the exercise of its power to tax. I am in
fundamental disagreement with the manner in
which this decision has been implemented.
The various provisions of the federal tax
law changes will provide enormous benefits
to the wealthy, and will provide benefits to
big business that ultimately will far exceed
a level which could be justified.
Budget Director Stockman was absolutely
correct when he said that the Kemp-Roth
supply side tax cut "was always a trojan
horse to bring down the top rate" of federal
tax. The business tax cut in its final
version includes a wide range of special
deductions and credits designed to give
multi-million and billion dollar bonuses to
select groups in the business community.
Relief for the wealthy. Bonuses for the
corporate giants who can't afford new
capital investment, but who can quickly
generate billions of dollars to buy and sell
one another. This new federal tax policy I
believe is unjustified.
But beyond that, the decision of the
federal government to sharply reduce its
exercise of the power to tax will have a
devastating impact on the states. All
across this country, states have one or more
taxes which in effect piggyback on their
federal counterparts. Thus, a federal
policy of reduced tax liability affects
state revenues as well. The one small area
of accelerated depreciation has received
considerable attention in the last several
months. But is only the beginning of a
general erosion of state revenue in the
corporate and estate tax areas which will
occur over the next five years. This fact,
coupled with the transfer of responsiblities
HOUSE JOURNAL 17NOV81
to the states means that over the long-term
we here in New Hampshire must develop our
own coherent tax policy.
The second long-term issue leads to the
same conclusion. This issue is the fact
that we have a long-term revenue problem in
New Hampshire. Had it not been for the
introduction of the Business Profits Tax,
state revenue growth in the last 15 years
would not have kept pace with inflation and
population growth in New Hampshire. In
addition, the tendency to resolve immediate
budget problems by minor adjustments to
existing taxes have, over time, obscured any
coherent policy which might have once
existed. Nowhere is this more evident than
in the passage of the minimum business
profits tax — a tax which has no basis in
equity, no basis in responsiveness to
federal changes, and in all likelihood, no
basis in the constitution.
Once the short-term issues are resolved,
once we have demonstrated that we are
capable of making the decisions which
squeeze out the excess in state government,
and once we have had time to fully assess
the rapidly changing federal-state
relationship, then we must turn to the issue
of tax policy and tax reform. To do that,
to respond to these long-term issues, we
must be willing to move beyond the code
words which currently afflict any discussion
of revenues in New Hampshire. If a public
figure stands up and says we need to talk
about tax policy or that the state has a
revenue problem, then his or her opponents
immediately rush to the barricades and
proclaim that that individual now worships
at the altar of broad-based tax. Well, that
is not true. The reliance on code words has
meant, and continues to mean, that in mainy
areas of taxation other than a sales or
income tax which cry out for reform — and
which, in light of the federal government's
actions, now must be reformed — discussion
cannot even occur, much less action take
place.
Let us set aside those code words, so
that we can discuss and pursue the goals of
tax reform in those areas that cry out for
it. Let us set aside the fear that the very
discussion of tax reform indicates some
hidden and preconceived plan.
Let us set aside the past practice of
ignoring the profound impact of what is
happening in Washington, instead of seeking
to understand its effect upon the states.
And let us set aside the habit of refusing
to make the hard decisions to make state
government do fewer things, of trying
instead to continue to do everything and as
a result doing nothing well.
If we do not set these things aside,
then we most assuredly will wind up with a
sales or an income tax — not as a vehicle
of reform, but as simply one more burden
added to the heap of hodge podge taxes
already imposed on our citizens.
In these times when the federal
government is making these fundamental
chainges in policy so hastily, let us make
whatever immediate changes are necessary to
respond on the state level. But let us not
be rushed into fundamental changes
ourselves. Long-term change requires
careful long-range planning, not knee-jerk
reaction.
When the national recession burdens us
with depressed revenues and increased
demands for services, let us remember that
the national economy also burdens our
citizens, who expect us to be willing to
make the same difficult decisions they must
make every day. They are being forced to
make do with less; so must state
government . They can no longer afford to do
everything they wish to do; neither can
state government.
This will not be an easy session.
Difficult choices which were postponed last
June can be postponed no longer. If the
collective will of state government should
fail now, then we will have a budget that
will be further and further out of balance;
we will have legitimate needs which will go
unmet, and illegitimate ones which will
continue to be funded; we will be
ill-prepared to either understand or respond
to the realities of the "New Federalism";
and we will all see the consequences of that
failure of will. We will see it in the
declining quality of services which we
deliver. We will see it on the budget
balance sheet. We will see it in our bond
rating. And ultimately, we will see it in a
loss of confidence in all of us from the
voters who gave us the responsibility to
lead and to serve.
We are all politicians, and before the
next election there will be ample time for
political and partisan debate on budget
issues. But if we allow the common work
which we must now undertake to immediately
be obscured by politics, then almost
assuredly, we will fail. I neither ask, nor
expect every proposal which I have made
today, or every one of the many budget
reductions which I will propose in the next
several weeks to receive your endorsement.
But I do ask and expect all of us to
recognize that we are now about a common
business, and that the common interest of
the state must outweigh our individual
political interest. I pledge to you an open
door, and an open mind to the thoughts and
the suggestions and the proposals of friend
and foe alike. I ask you to make a similar
commitment, and I wish you well.
Thank you very much.

RESIGNATIONS
John B. Tucker
Speaker
Dear Mr. Speaker:
This will serve as my official
resignation from the New Hampshire General
Court effective immediately.
As you know, I entered the University of
Tulsa College of Law this semester which
makes it impossible for me to participate as
a state legislator as I should. I apologize
for not having resigned before the November
elections. Hopefully an interim election
can be held soon so that District 7 of
Strafford County can be represented in the
General Court.
I have been reading in the Manchester
Union Leader that a special session of the
legislature has been called by the Governor
and Executive Council for November 17 to
deal with the federal block grants and the
budget. I hope that the revenue situation
will be finally resolved in this session.
I look forward to seeing you when I am
in New Hampshire for the holidays.
Rep. Richard D. Morrissette

COMMITTEE REPORTS
(Regular Calendar)
HB 25-FN, establishing a committee to

study.
Accordingly, the committee recommends
inexpedient to legislate and will move
further that HB 25 be referred to
interim study. Unanimous vote of
committee. Rep. William F. Kidder for
Appropriations.
Rep. Wiviott moved that the words. Refer

shall be continued in effect, only for such
purpose, as if this act were not in force.
10 Severability. If any provision of
this act or the application thereof to any
person or circumstances is held invalid, the
invalidity shall not affect other provisions
or applications of the act which can be

HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 7
on the death of Albert H. Dow, III
WHEREAS, Albert Dow, New Hampshire born,
bred and educated, responded without
hesitation joining last week's search and
rescue effort for two missing climbers on
Mount Washington, and
WHEREAS, as an experienced technical
climber, he was fully aware of the dangers
that the mountain holds especially in the
winter, and had participated in many rescue
efforts, and
WHEREAS, his motivation was in the
spirit among mountaineers that "if somebody
is in trouble, you help them out. You
realize and hope that they would certainly
do the same for you in a similar situation,"
and
WHEREAS, he and partner Michael Hartrick
were one of several two-man teams from the
all-volunteer Mountain Rescue Service, a
group organized in 19^^ to coordinate such
efforts, and
WHEREAS, an avalanche on the Lions Head
Trail claimed the life of Albert Dow and
nearly that of Michael Hartrick, and
WHEREAS, there can be no more fitting
epitaph than that expressed by the Reverend
Robert Thurston, pastor of the Community
Church of Melvin Village at services for
Dow, "He gave his life to save others," now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the members of the House
of Representatives do hereby extend their
sympathy to the family of Albert H. Dow, III.
Unanimously adopted by a rising vote of
silent prayer.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
(Regular Calendar)
HB 13, relative to the exclusion of
automobile dealers and manufacturers from
regulation as insurance companies.
Majority: Ought to Pass with Amendment.
Minority: (Reps. Crory, Leslie, Gary
Dionne, Christy, Plomaritis, Brady and
Gelinas) Inexpedient to Legislate.
MAJORITY: After lengthy study and
debate, a majority (8-5) felt that
extended motor vehicle warranties sold
by manufacturers and New Hampshire auto
dealers should have their contracts
reviewed for approval by the Attorney
General's Office. This bill, however,
will also preclude a recent (August
1981) ruling by the Insurance
Commissioner that under the 1959 law he
now will regulate the price for such
warranties, and those who sell same must
become licensed insurance agents for
this purpose. For 22 years there have
been no significant abuses. It is the
opinion of the majority that legislative
intent is not for more unneeded
regulation on business in our state.
Rep. Conrad L. Quimby for the Majority
of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.
MINORITY: RSA 40? requires that
extended motor vehicle warranty
agreements are to be considered
insurance contracts. Regular
manufacturer/dealer warranties given at
the time of sale for no additional cost
to the customer are not regulated by
this statute - only extended plans for
longer periods at an additional cost to
the customer.
In 1981, Commissioner Whaland issued new
regulations requiring car manufacturers
and car dealers to be licensed (Fee
HOUSE JOURNAL 2FEB82
41
$200), file their contracts, and have
their rates approved before offering
extended warranties for sale. Such
contracts must be clear, concise,
contain no misleading or deceptive
provisions, and not demand excessive
rates. Salespersons selling this
insurance would be licensed (Fee $10)
and would be required to pass a limited
exam to prove knowledge of the insurance
contract being sold.
Instead of complying with these
regulations by November 1, the
automobile dealers filed a suit in
district court challenging the
constitutionality of RSA 407, and the
commissioner's regulations. A hearing
was set for December 29, 198I. The
dealers (plaintiff) asked for a
postponement and entered HB 13 in this
special session. If HB 13 is passed
private insurance companies offering
extended plans would still be regulated
but car manufacturers and dealers
selling extended plans would not be
regulated.
The previous majority of the committee
concurred with the Insurance
Commissioner and felt all extended
warranties are insurance contracts and
should be regulated. To pass HB 13 now
with a pending court challenge was also
considered inappropriate. We are now
the minority because of an invalidation
of our first executive session based on
Rule 16. (Reps. Elizabeth L. Crory,
Anne Leslie, Gary S. Dionne, C. Dana
Christy, Claire Plomaritis, Bonnie B.
Brady and David L. Gelinas for the
Minority of Commerce aind Consumer
Affairs.
Amendment
Amend RSA 407-A:1, I as inserted by
section 1 of the bill by striking out said
paragraph and inserting in place thereof the
following:
I. "Motor vehicle warranty
agreement" shall mean any contract of
warranty, guaranty, suretyship or otherwise,
relating to the replacement or repair of
motor vehicles or parts thereof for a
specific period except:
(a) Contracts made by dealers
in or manufacturers of, the vehicle covered
by the contract, whether or not for
additional consideration;
(b) Where the dealer or
manufacturer does not share the risk of loss
with any other person; and
(c) Where the dealer or
manufacturer has first filed for approval
with the consumer protection division in the
office of the attorney general:
(1 ) copies of all
documents, provided to the public, relating
to such contract, including, but not limited
to, the contract, prices, brochures, sales
aids, application forms, and instructions.
(The term "document" shall not include
advertising in newspapers, manazines,
journals, or on television, radio or
billboards); and
(2) in the case of a
contract being offered solely by a dealer, a
certification that the dealer has, at the
time of filing, a bond on file equal to or
exceeding $50,000.
Rep. Crory moved that the report of the
Minority, Inexpedient to Legislate, be
substituted for the report of the Majority,
Ought to Pass with Amendment, spoke to her
motion and yielded to questions.
Reps. Christy, Brady, Leslie and Gary
Dionne spoke in favor of the motion.
Reps. Vartanian and G. Philip Rodgers
spoke against the motion and yielded to
questions.

question. Sufficiently seconded. Adopted.

Question being on the adoption of the
Committee amendment.
Amendment adopted.
Ordered to third reading.
HB 27, relative to educational expenses
for certain handicapped children. Ought to
Pass with Amendment.
HB 27, as amended, clarifies confusing
language and resolves inconsistencies in
three existing statutes, RSA 186-C:13,
RSA 193:27-29, and RSA 126-A:U9, all
pertaining to liability for special
education costs. It limits the
financial liability of school districts
for students three to 21 years old
presently at the Laconia State School to
the state average per pupil cost for the
biennium, after which school districts
will accept full responsibility under
RSA 186-C. HB 27 also makes an
appropriation to insure the continued
existence of the special education
program at the New Hampshire Hospital
for the rest of the fiscal year and
establishes a mechanism that would
enable school districts to utilize the
program as an out-of-district placement
on a fee for service basis. Vote 17-0.
Rep. Betty Jo Taffe for Education.
Amendment
Amend the title of the bill by striking
out same and inserting in place thereof the
following:
AN ACT
relative to educational expenses for certain
handicapped children and relative to the
special education program of the child
and adolescent unit at the New
Hampshire hospital and making
an appropriation therefor.
Amend the bill by striking out all after
the enacting clause and inserting in place
thereof the following:
1 Expense Liability. Amend RSA
186-C: 13 (supp) as inserted by 1981, 352:2
as amended by striking out said section and
inserting in place thereof the following:
186-C: 13 Liability for Expenses. All
expenses incurred by a school district in
administering the law in relation to
education for educationally handicapped
children shall be paid by the school
district where the child resides, except as
follows:
I. When an educationally
handicapped child is placed in a home for

Amendment adopted.
Referred to Appropriations.
SB 10, establishing a dam maintenance
fund for Merrymeeting Lake Dam and making an
appropriation therefor. Majority: Ought to
Pass with Amendment. Minority: (Reps. Joan
M. Schreiber and Phoebe A. Chardon) Ought
to Pass.
MAJORITY: Senate Bill 10, as amended,
establishes a dam maintenance fund with
revenue derived from state leased hydro
projects which are authorized with
Governor and Council approval. The fund
will be used to maintain and repair
state-owned dams, and specifically
addresses the repair to the Merrymeeting
Lake Dam and nine other state-owned dams
which are currently under breach or
HOUSE JOURNAL 2FEB82
49
repair orders. Vote 11-2. Rep. Lee
Anne S. Steiner for the Majority of
Resources, Recreation and Development.
MINORITY: The minority members of the
Committee support passage of the
original bill which provides $200,000
for repairs of an emergency nature to
the Merrymeeting Dam.
The minority members oppose passage of
the amendment which is a substitute - in
effect an entirely new bill.
The dam maintenance fund established by
this amendment is derived not from
"state leased hydro projects" as the
majority report states, but rather
according to the State Treasurer from a
bond issue which mortgages the state to
the tune of $2.5 million in principal
and at least $3-15 million in interest
and/or (it is not clear) from an
appropriation of $2.2 million - a
possible total general obligation to the
state of $7.85 million - this at a time
when the state is in financial
difficulty, its position in the bond
market delicate, its credit rating in
question.
This amendment also authorizes the Water
Resources Board to expend from this dam
maintenance fund such amounts "as are
necessary" for the repair and
reconstruction of 10 named dams and
other unnamed minor projects - the
"necessary" to be determined not by the
Legislature but by the Water Resources
Board.
The revenue anticipated from hydro
project leases, which is earmarked in
this amendment to supply the dam
maintenance fund, is a yet unproven
source - not now available and in the
future shrouded with numerous unknowns
such as start up time, collection or
production problems, adjustment of
PUC-established rates.
In the view of the minority members, the
provisions offered in this amendment
need a lot more study.
The minority members believe that this
amendment removes from the Legislature
both flexibility and control over the
allocation of funds and contains too
many far-reaching commitments,
uncertainties, and ambiguities to be
passed at this time. (Reps. Joan M.
Schreiber and Phoebe A. Chardon for the
Minority of Resources, Recreation and
Development) .
Amendment
Amend the title of the bill by striking
out same and inserting in place thereof the
following:
AN ACT
establishing a dam maintenance fund for
the repair and reconstruction of

Rep. Townsend moved the previous
question. Sufficiently seconded. Adopted.
Rep. Baybutt requested a division.
230 members having voted in the
affirmative and 74 in the negative, the
amendment was adopted.
Referred to Appropriations.
HB 30, imposing an amusement machine
permit fee, and making an appropriation
therefor. Refer for Interim Study.
The majority of the Committee feels the
bill merits further consideration. As
the bill stands there are substantial
administrative problems and at the $100
per machine it would only raise
$500,000. If this bill is to be
expanded to raise much money the
Committee feels the impact should be
studied further and not passed in a
Special Session. Vote 11-3. Rep. W.
Douglas Scamman for Ways and Means.
Referred for Interim Study.
Rep. Bosse moved that the House now
adjourn from the early session, that the
business of the late session be in order at
the present time, that the reading of bills
be by title only and resolutions by caption
only and that all bills ordered to third
reading be read a third time by this
resolution, and that all titles of bills be
the same as adopted, and that they be passed
at the present time, and when the House
adjourn today it be to meet Thursday,

To divide wealth and support everyone
Is not the duty of the State
But the General Court is meeting

They'll try to "Sackett" every income
And attempt to regulate
For the General Court's in session
And it's going to legislate.

If we could practice some economy
Or perhaps metriculate
It wouldn't be so scary
When we come to legislate.
The folks back home will pay the tab
Whether small or probably great

The General Court meets to legislate.

Let's resolve to play it straight
For we're the General Court
And we're here to legislate.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
(Regular Calendar)
HB 14-FN, relative to the nurses
registration board. Majority: Ought to
Pass. Minority: Reps. Stuart Trachy, Ada
L. Mace, Robert G. Holbrook and Frederick T.
Ernst.
MAJORITY: The Committee has worked
throughout two sessions to improve the
functions and administration of the many
state boards and commissions under its
jurisdiction. The state's registered
nurses and licensed practical nurses
will, under this bill, have their
registration system reestablished.
Amendments to this bill would have
improved board structure and authority,
and it is hoped these matters will be
addressed in future legislation. Vote
13-4 for the bill in its present form.
MINORITY: The minority of the Committee
strongly supports the reinstatement of
the Board of Nursing, but cannot support
HB 14 unamended. This bill, along with
all the other bills reinstating
occupational licensing boards, was
considered thoroughly by the Executive
Departments and Administration Committee
during the 1981 regular session.
Criteria for the structure and operation
of the board was established and applied
to all the boards with few exceptions.
This criteria was endorsed 25 times last
year by the House and 23 times by the
Senate. Much of this criteria is not
included in House Bill 14. The minority
proposed compromise amendments that
provided for the following: 6 members
on the board (instead of 5 ) , stronger
public member definition, the option of
using a hearing officer, and a
continuing competency program. The
HOUSE JOURNAL 4FEBB2
53
minority also agreed to strike out the
section of the bill dealing with the
computerization of records. The
minority wants to point out a serious
flaw in HB 14 that allows the
Commissioner of Education to keep the
fees collected, in a separate fund,
whereas all other boards' fees are
deposited in the general fund. This
minority report is submitted by the
majority of the Subcommittee on HB 14.
Rep. Trachy spoke against the Committee
report.
Reps. Hildreth, William Boucher, Butler
and Spirou spoke in favor of the report.
Reps. Townsend and Ward spoke to the
report.
Rep. Baybutt moved the previous
question. Sufficiently seconded. Adopted.
Rep. Hildreth requested a roll call.

HOUSE JOURNAL 4FEB82
Rep. Labombarde notified the Clerk that
he wished to be recorded in favor of the
committee report.
Referred to Appropriations.
HB 2, reapportioning the house of
representatives and delegates to state
conventions. Majority: Ought to Pass with
Amendment. Minority: (Reps. Chris Spirou,
Peter C. Hildreth, James M. Demers, Maura
Carroll, Michael B. King, Romeo J.
Theriault, David B. Campbell and Delina R.
Hickey) Ought to Pass with Amendment.
MAJORITY: The reapportionment of the
New Hampshire House has been under study
for eight months. Plans for every
county have been established, discarded,
reapproved and revised over and over
again. Rules of procedure and desirable
numerical results have been imposed by
rulings of our United States Supreme
Court. These legal requirements have
pressured the Committee to make some
unpopular decisions.
Some have felt this search for correct
and fair solutions has indicated a lack
of determination and an inability to
make up the collective mind.
To the contrary, the early attempts,
based on a desire to please incumbents
and political leaders, were discarded in
the face of strong objections to reach a
solution of fairness to the person of
paramount importance - the individual
citizen. The state-wide deviation is
13.74$.
Unfortunately, from this Chairman's
viewpoint, the Committee vote on the
total amendment was drawn on party
lines. Several county plans were
approved by higher margins with
endorsements from members of both
parties.
The bill, as amended, will insure a
legal and fair representation of New
Hampshire citizens for the next ten
years.
The majority of the Reapportionment
Committee now presents HB 2, as amended,
and recommends its adoption. Vote was
12-7. Rep. Russell C. Chase for the
Majority of Reapportionment.
MINORITY: The Minority Report on State
Redistricting is based on the
fundamental New Hampshire principle of
"small" district representative
government and in compliance with the
one-man/one-vote principle.
Speaker Tucker, for the first time in
our State's history, introduced
"floterial districts" for the purposes
of State Redistricting. The Minority
reluctantly agrees with the Speaker that
it is the only process available to
bring the State's deviation to an
acceptable level.
The Minority Report is presented not as
a partisan position but rather as a
genuine attempt to have our State
redistricted in the fairest way possible
while respecting the traditional New
Hampshire value of "small district"
representation.
The Minority Plan has a statewide
deviation of 13.13$ as opposed to the
13.74J of the Majority Report.
More importantly, seven (7) counties in
the Minority Report have a deviation of
less than 10$. Only three (3) of the
counties in the Majority Report are
below 10$ in deviation. In addition,
six (6) in the Minority Report are below
the deviation for those counties in the
Majority Report. Three (3) counties
have the deviation in each plan.
We believe adoption of the Minority
Committee Report serves the best
interest of all of our citizens,
complies with the one-man/one-vote
mandate, respects the principle of
"small town" representation and is fair
to both political parties. (Reps. Chris
Spirou, Peter C. Hildreth, James M.
Demers, Maura Carroll, Michael B. King,
Romeo J. Theriault, David B. Campbell
and Delina R. Hickey for the Minority of
Reapportionment )

Rep. Hendrick wished to go on record as
being opposed to the passage of HB 2 in both
the Majority eind Minority form. Both
versions effectively disenfranchise the town
of Litchfield by joining it with Merrimack
in a floterial district. Litchfield has 80
per cent of the population needed for an
extra earned representative, while Merrimack
has 69 per cent, which means that where
one-man one-vote is concerned, Litchfield
has only 67 per cent of a vote and
Merrimack, 101 per cent. It might be
possible to persuade the citizens of
Litchfield to become a living sacrifice for
the one-man one-vote theory, but when they
see the city of Manchester with a 49 per
cent minus population being given an extra
representative it is hard for them to
believe in self-sacrifice. They wish me to
voice their opposition to HB 2.
Rep. Baybutt offered the following:
RESOLVED, that in accordance with the
list in the possession of the clerk. House

nuclear fuel or that portion of the material
generated in the processing of such fuel
that contains most of the fission products
and most of the activities not separated out
during the reprocessing. "Transuranic
waste" means radioactive waste containing
greater than 10 nanocuries of transuranic
activity per gram of material;
II. "Task forces" means the task
force on low-level radioactive waste
management established by RSA 125:77-h;

the enacting clause and inserting in place
thereof the following:
1 Findings. The general court hereby
finds:
I. The state of New Hampshire has
no formally articulated policy and plan for
the storage, treatment or disposal of
low-level radioactive waste, and recent
federal legislation has given the state
certain responsibilities in dealing with
low-level radioactive waste management;
II. The continued use of
radioisotopes in medical diagnosis and
treatment, research activities and industry
is essential to maintain the health, safety
and welfare of New Hampshire's citizens.
Current technology identified by the United
States Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR
6 1 , represents the best current standaTd for
safe and economical disposition of the
resultant low-level radioactive waste. The
implementation of the state plan shall be
part of a comprehensive program consistent
with the state's interests in the health,
safety and welfare of its citizens;
III. The federal government has
declared that each state is responsible for
the disposal of its own commercially
generated low-level radioactive waste either
within or without the state, and New
Hampshire faces the imminent loss of access
I. There is hereby established the
task force on low- level radioactive waste
management. The members of the task force
shall be:
(a) The governor or his
designee;
(b) The commissioner of
safety or his designee;
(c) The commissioner of
public works and highways or his designee;
(d) The executive director of
the water supply and pollution control
commission or his designee;
(e) The chairman of the state
radiation advisory committee or his designee;
(f) The commissioner of
health and welfare or his designee;
(g) The commissioner of
resources and economic developmemt or his
designee;
(h) Two members of the house
of representatives appointed by the speaker
of the house;
(i) Two members of the senate
appointed by the president of the senate; and
(J) Four public members
appointed by the governor. The public
members shall be:
(1.) A representative of
a generator of low-level radioactive waste;
(2. ) A person
representing a public interest group;
(3.) A representative of
an environmental organization; and
(4. ) A physician
experienced in nuclear medicine.

The task force shall fully consider in its
study different methods for low-level
radioactive waste disposal and
transportation within and without the
state. In its investigation and study for a
process of siting, the task force shall
utilize a literature survey of New Hampshire
terrain.

Amendment.
The Committee reviewed the amendment in
detail. It felt that the establishment
of the Oversight Committee was vital -
to monitor both the risk analysis and
economic impact studies. Both the
Oversight Committee and the Public
Utilities Commission involvement would

studies, their public dissemination, and
lending credibility to the findings.
Vote 7-2. Rep. Robert H. Eisengrein for
Science and Technology.
Amendment
Amend the title of the bill by striking
out same and inserting in place thereof the
following:
AN ACT
requiring the public utilities commission to
have an independent risk analysis study
and a separate economic analysis study
conducted for the Seabrook
nuclear power plant
Amend the bill by striking out section 1
and inserting in place thereof the following:
1 Statement of Legislative Intent. The
general court acknowledges that the Public
Service Company of New Hampshire has applied
to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for an
operating license for the Seabrook nuclear
power plant. As part of that licensing
process the general court has directed the
New Hampshire civil defense agency to
prepare, or have prepared by an independent
consultant, Radiological Emergency Response
Plans for those communities that lie within
10 miles of the Seabrook Nuclear Power
Plant. These plans, commonly referred to as
the Evacuation Plan, are now being prepared
and will be completed in December of 1982.
The Evacuation Plan will identify the time,
equipment and organizational requirements
for orderly evacuation of the area should
this be required due to radiation releases
from an accident at the nuclear power
plant. The Evacuation Plan does not address
the medical and public health consequences
of being exposed to the radiation during the
time between the release of radiation and
the completion of the evacuation. A risk
analysis is required to identify these
medical public health consequences. The
general court requires a risk analysis based
on the nuclear plant designed aind
constructed specifically for the Seabrook
site so that it may be compared to the
Evacuation Plan being prepared for this
specific seacoast area. The general court
requires that both the Evacuation Plan and
the risk analysis be completed and the risk
impact and attending risk abatement
recommendations be evaluated in a public
hearing prior to issuance of an operating
license for the Seabrook Nuclear Power
Plant. The general court is also concerned
about the economic impact of any
interruption of the electrical generating
function of the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant
and Tt rerjatres an ecrmomlG Impafft study of
the costs of having to purchase replacement
electricity when the Seabrook station is
shut down for any reason.
Amend the bill by striking out section 3
and inserting in place thereof the following:
3 Economic Impact Study Required. The
public utilities commission shall institute
an economic impact study for the Seabrook
nuclear power plant. The study shall
develop the probable economic impact to New
472
HOUSE JOURNAL 16FEB82
Hampshire if the Seabrook station is shut
down for any reason after it goes on line
and the costs of obtaining electricity from
other sources in such event. The study
shall be conducted by an independent expert
chosen by the chairmain of the public
utilities commission and shall be financed
by a grant from the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission or from an assessment against the
owners of the Seabrook project in proportion
to their share of ownership. Such sums as
are necessary to pay for the study are
hereby authorized and appropriated to the
public utilities commission. The policy of
the state shall be to oppose the issuance of
any operating licenses for the Seabrook
plant until the economic impact study is
completed and the public utilities
conmission has an opportunity to study such
findings.
4 Oversight Committee. There shall be
an oversight committee to monitor the vrork
of the consultants doing the risk analysis
study and the economic impact study to
assure that they are completed in a thorough
and timely manner and to provide additional
assistance to the consultants. The 9 member
committee shall be appointed as follows:
one member representing the general
interests of the public appointed by the
governor; one member of the public utilities
commission designated by the chairman; one
member from the New Hampshire civil defense
agency designated by the head of that
agency; 2 state representatives appointed by
the speaker of the house; one state senator
appointed by the senate president; 2 persons
who shall reside in the 17 community
emergency planning zone, appointed by the
governor and council; and one representative
of Public Service Company of New Hampshire.
Members shall serve without compensation,
except that state employees shall receive
state employee mileage for traveling to
meetings of the committee and legislative
members shall receive legislative mileage
for traveling to meetings of the conniittee.
The committee shall disband after both
studies are completed.
5 Effective Date. This act shall take
effect upon its passage.
Amendment adopted.
Referred to Appropriations.
SB 9, relative to the sale of unvented
space heaters. Majority: Ought to Pass
with Amendment. Minority: (Reps. Edward F.
Smith, Marilee H. Rouillard and Selma R.
Gould) Inexpedient to Legislate.
MAJORITY: An amended version of SB 9
was introduced by Chairman Wight
covering previous questions raised
concerning U.L. Std. 647, use of heaters
in multiple unit dwellings and some
safety hazards. The Conmittee passed a
modification limiting use to single
family residences, but otherwise
accepting the amendment. Vote 6-3-
Rep. Robert H. Eisengrein for Science
and Technology.
MINORITY: This legislation ignores the
safety concerns of the State's fire
fighting community. The major problem
with this legislation is that it
legitimizes the sale and use of unvented
space heaters, which fire safety
officials have testified are hazardous
to use in occupied structures. Reps.
Edward F. Smith, Marilee H. Rouillard
and Selma R. Gould for Minority of
Science and Technology.

struture; or
(e) Unvented space heaters

supplied at the time of initial retail sale
with a siphon pump or any similar device
which facilitates the proper refueling of

HOUSE JOURNAL 25FEB82
481
Rep. Rounds spoke in favor of the
amendment .
I would like to convey to you some of
the remarks that were offered by Speaker
Tucker to the Appropriations Committee on
the morning of February 22nd, Quote:
"I appear here this morning to speak to
you not so much on SB 14 but on the
responsibility that I think rests with this
consnittee this morning to resolve a crisis
that is presently facing the State of New
Hampshire. A crisis not in any way
perpetrated by this committee or the New
Hampshire House but a crisis that has been
brought on by the irresponsible action of
the State Senate in ignoring a long-standing
time-honored tradition in a democratic
process. The process is, when you don't
agree, you meet and discuss your
disagreements and attempt to reach a
compromise and we use the procedure known as
a Committee of Conference in the legislative
process to do that.
"We do not simply throw the state on the
brink of fiscal chaos by refusing to
participate in the legislative process.
When you disagree, you name a Committee of
Conference and you attempt to iron out those
differences.
"As it relates to the state's second
largest source of income, the income that we
receive from liquor sales, this has been
ignored to the point where we are at the
brink of an actual catastrophe as it relates
to the state being able to conduct its
business and in meeting our constitutional
reaponsibility of attending to the welfare
of the people of this state. It is a
tragedy that on February 17th the Senate
voted to nonconcur in SB 5 rather than
naming a Committee of Conference.
"I think the people of this state are
beginning to realize the impact of that
irresponsible action. It is now becoming
known to the people in the hotel and motel
industry, the people in the restaurant
industry, to the people in the ski industry
and those involved in convention centers
that they will not be able to maintain
business as usual and in fact probably will
be unable to maintain business at all if we
fail to restructure and reinstitute the
state Liquor Commission.
"The loss of business profits tax money,
the loss of rooms and meals tax money, let
alone the loss of liquor sale money, will
wreak havoc with our entire state budget and
so it is for this reason that I come to you
this morning asking you to do the following."
Speaker Tucker asked the Committee on
Appropriations to take Senate Bin 1*1 and
provide within that Senate bill the
necessary funding for the commission as the
House Appropriations Committee put it forth
in HB 10. He also asked that Appropriations
remove the stipulation that the House had
placed in SB 5 that required financial
disclosure by vendors doing business with
the Liquor Commission. He also asked them
to remove from the House version of SB 5 the
specific duties assigned to the
commissioners and that it add to SB 14 the
original Senate provision for the
protections of employees. This the
Appropriations Committee did that day aind
this is the bill that you have before you.
Effectively what the Speaker asked the
Appropriations Committee to do and asked his
designated conferees on SB 5 — Reps. Jean
White, William Russell, Roger Wood and
Margaret Ramsay to do was to hold a
Comnittee of Conference without the Senate
present because they had refused to name a
Committee of Conference on the bill. What
the House conferees did was identify from
statements made by Sen. Sanborn before the
Appropriations Subcommittee those
objectionable elements of SB 5 as amended by
the House. That is the bill before you
today. If we are going to avoid the chaos
in the liquor industry, in the ski industry,
then it is imperative that we pass this bill
today. It is my understanding that if we do
that, the Senate will meet tomorrow and
consider it. I urge you to support the
motion before you.
In addition, there is a Floor Amendment
which will be offered if this passes. The
floor amendment is printed on page 4080.
This floor amendment would make two
technical changes in the bill. It removes a
section which deals with the pricing of
wine. And it removes a section which gives
the Commission the authority to change the
method of purchasing of wine by off-sale
licensees. Both of these are technical
matters. They can be handled in the next
session of the Legislature where they can
have a full public hearing, where everyone
who has an objection to them or supports
them can have a voice.
I urge you to also vote in favor of this
floor amendment. Support the motion before
you when it passes, support the floor
amendment .
I urge you to give this your unanimous
support so that we may send a message to our
friends on the other side of the wall and to
the citizens of the State of New Hampshire
which they certainly deserve.
Rep. French moved that Rep. Rounds
remarks be printed in the House Journal.
Unanimously adopted.
Question being on the Committee
amendment. Rep. French requested a roll
call. Sufficiently seconded.

SB 22-FN, to provide workmen's
compensation benefits to certain persons who
assist in search and rescue missions. Ought
to Pass.
This legislation is intended to correct
a situation with regard to volunteer
search and rescue personnel who might
lose their lives or might become injured
during their effort to effect a rescue.
Vote was unanimous. Rep. William F.
Kidder for Appropriations.
Ordered to third reading.
SB 15-FN, relative to the assessment of
the land use change tax. Ought to Pass with
Amendment .
This bill clarifies RSA 79-A, the
Current Use Law, by removing a reference
to "buildings" in RSA 79-A:7, IV (a) to
be consistent with RSA 79-A:5 which
provides that buildings are excluded
from open space land to be assessed at
current use values. The bill also
specifies that the land use change tax
shall be payable when parcels subject to
current use assessment have been reduced
in size below the minimum acreage
established by the Current Use Advisory
Board.
The Committee amendment prevents the
Current Use Advisory Board from
increasing minimum acreage requirements
above the present 10 acres. The
amendment is also intended to avoid
triggering the use change tax on land
which continues to meet any of the
various minimum acreage requirements
established by the Current Use Advisory
Board. Vote 14-0. Rep. Myrtle B.
Rogers for Environment and Agriculture.

HOUSE JOURNAL 8APR82
Thank you Mr. Speaker.
I know it is not traditional for
somebody to stand up and say anything on the
resignation of a member but, Peter Hildreth,
being a member of the Democratic Leadership,
a personal friend and I think a very
contributing member of the House of
Representatives, leaves a big void in the
ranks of the Democratic Leadership.
I just want to wish him on behalf of the
Democratic Leadership, and I'm sure all
those of the Majority party, that Peter in
his new role in representing the State
Employees Association, Godspeed and the best
of luck to him. The young person who has
really moved up, worked hard and really
deserves everything that the world can
provide him with. I wish him the very best
when he goes to take the exam for his law
degree next month.
Hearing no objection, the Speaker
directed the Clerk to print Rep. Spirou's
remarks in the Journal.
Rep. Benton moved that SB 9 be laid upon
the table.
Rep. Parr requested a roll call.
Sufficiently seconded.

SB 16-FN, relative to zoning changes to
accommodate manufactured housing and the
filling of vacancies in planning board
membership. Ought to Pass with Amendment.
Amended version gives a municipality
maximum flexibility and control
regarding mobile homes in accordance
with federal guidelines. Rep. Anthony
Pepitone for Municipal and County

Amendment
Amend the title of the bill by striking
out same and inserting in place thereof the

AN ACT
relative to zoning changes to accomodate
manufactured housing, the filling of
vacancies in planning board members,
and the granting of zoning authority
to the village district
of Edelweiss.
Amend the bill by striking out all after
the enacting clause and inserting in place
thereof the following:
1 Declaration of Purpose. The general
court has previously recognized and declared
that decent and sanitary housing is both a
need and a right of individual citizens and
families. In reaffirming the state's
commitment to provide adequate housing
opportunities, the general court recognizes
that the costs of conventional, single
family housing have risen sharply and that,
if housing needs are to be met, the widest
possible range of housing alternatives must
be made available within each community.
The general court further recognizes that it
is important to provide young couples as
well as elderly, retired citizens with
affordable, reasonably priced, quality
homes. The general court therefore declares
that the complete exclusion of manufactured
housing in communities is based upon
outmoded perceptions as to the safety and
quality of manufactured housing, and
aesthetic factors. Mamifawtured hotising,
when built in conformance with national
codes, is almost indistinguishable from

Let us Pray:
Almighty Father in heaven, we admit we

help. May we be open to Your assistance so
that You may form us into a people of unity,
justice and peace.
May those who are prophetic among us
stir up our desire to join one another in
building the freedom and individual dignity
of those we represent.
Help us to look at the realities of this

and renewal in the days ahead. Make our

SB 21 -FN, relative to off-track wagering

Inexpedient to Legislate.
It was the opinion of the Committee that
this bill was very vague in mainy areas.
Everything was to be determined by the
experts on the Commission to manage and
administrate, and yet there weren't any
qualifications for the commissioners.
Also, there wasn't any reasonable way to
determine the returns to the State of
New Hampshire. In general, the bill
does not appear to be in the best
interests of the citizens of the State
of New Hampshire. Vote 15-2. Rep. Jean

6 Limitation of Act. Nothing herein
shall affect the representation of the city
of Manchester in the general court that will
assemble in December 1982. The vard lines
for membership in that general court shall
remain in effect until the dissolution of

elected at the city election in 1981 shall
continue to hold office to the completion of
the term to which they were elected so long
as they shall be residents of the city,
regardless of where they might reside in
relation to the new or old ward boundaries.
8 Referendum. Sections 2 through 6 of
this act shall not take effect unless
adopted by majority vote at the state
general election to be held in the city of
Manchester in November 1982, as hereinafter
provided. The city clerk then in office
shall cause to be placed on the ballot the
following question: "Do you approve the
provisions of sections 2 through 6 of an act
entitled in part 'An Act . . . establishing
ward lines for the city of Manchester and
amending its charter' passed at the 1982
special session of the general court which
would redivide the city into 12 wards of
substantially equal population?" Said
question shall be printed in the form
prescribed by RSA 656:13. If a majority of
those voting on the question vote in the
affirmative, sections 2 through 6 of this
act shall be declared to have been adopted
effective January 1, 1983. The city clerk
shall, within 10 days after said election,
certify that result of the vote on the above
question to the secretary of state.
9 Effective Date.
I. Sections 1 and 7 of this act
shall take effect upon its passage.
II. Sections 2 to 6 of this act
shall take effect as provided in section 7.
Hearing no objection, the Chair
dispensed with the reading of the amendment.

COMMITTEE REPORTS (cont.)
HB MO-FN, exempting certain sheltered
care facilities from license fees and
increasing certain monthly allowances and
making an appropriation therefor.
Inexpedient to Legislate.
HB 1*0 had previously been recommended
Ought To Pass by the Committee on Health
and Welfare, approved by the House and
referred to the Committee on
Appropriations. Appropriations
submitted a report of Recommended but to
be Laid on the Table because of lack of
funding. The House then referred the
bill to the Committee on Ways and Means
for possible funding.
To fund this bill would have set a
precedent; that of involving the Ways
and Means Committee in the application
of funds rather than raising funds and
specific funding of this bill would have
established a dedicated fund.

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE ON HB 15
To the Honorable Members of the General Court
Pursuant to Article 44, Part 2 of the
New Hampshire Constitution, I return House
Bill 15 with my objections thereto noted.
During the 1981 Regular Session the
General Court enacted legislation over my
objection which eliminated De Novo review of
Department of Employment Security Appeal
Tribunal decisions by the Superior Court.
Created in its place was an Appellate
Division which "shall be part of the
department of employment security for
organizational purposes, but shall operate
independently of that department." (Chapter
576, Session Laws of 1981) The Appellate
Division is comprised of 5 members. Its
scope of review is extremely limited because
it is an appellate body. They cannot
receive new evidence. And, they cannot
substitute their judgement as to the weight
of the evidence on questions of fact, or as
to the prudence or desirability of a
decision. Their review authority is further
limited by RSA 282-A:65 which specifies in
part:
"The appellate division shall reverse or
modify the decision or reward the case
for further proceedings only if the
substantial rights of the appellant had
been prejudiced because the findings,
inferences, conclusions, or the decision
I. In violation of constitutional
or statutory provisions i or
II. In excess of the statutory
authority of the department of employment
security; or
III. Affected by reversible error of
law; or
IV. Affected by fraud; or
V. Affected by the absence of
newly discovered evidence,..."
In essence, the Division's review
authority is limited to matters of law.
That is v*iy last year I nominated and the
Executive Council confirmed five attorneys
to sit as members of this board. I believe
that lawyers, not lay-people, should pass
judgment on matters of law. Not because
they are more intelligent or have greater
insight. Rather, because it is lawyers who
have undergone the particular, specialized,
technical training which enables them to
review matters of law such as those listed
above.
Further, this new law has been in effect
for only four months. Interim rules were
adopted by the Appellate Division in
November and permanent rules were adopted
earlier this month. The hearing process has
been initiated and is ongoing according to
the structure enacted by the legislature
last year. There is no evidence to suggest
that this process is not working and thus,
there is no reason to change that process by
amending the statute at this time.
For these reasons, I do not believe that
the provisions of House Bill 15 are in the
best interests of the state and I
respectfully ask you to uphold the action I
have taken in returning the legislation to
you with my objections.
Sincerely,
Hugh J. Gallen, Governor
Question being notwithstanding the
Governor's veto, shall HB 15 pass.
Reps. Skinner and Belhumeur spoke in
favor of the bill.
A roll call was taken as required by the
Constitution.

GOVERNORS VETO MESSAGE ON HB 37
To the Honorable Members of the General Court
Pursuant to Part 2, Article UU of the
New Hampshire Constitution, I return HB 37
with my objections thereto noted.
Section 2 of this Act is already
contained in Chapter 29, Session Laws of
1982, which I signed into law earlier last
month. Section 4 of this law would
drastically change the manner in which state
representatives are elected from the City of
Keene. That plan assigns only one
representative for the approximately 1300
residents of each of five wards and further
requires that four representatives are to be
elected at-large from all five wards
combined from a total population of over
21,000.
Our state's Founding Fathers, as well as
several Constitutional Conventions and
Legislatures which have considered the issue
of representative district apportionment
since the inception of our republican form
of government have repeatedly endorsed the
fundamental concept of small district
representation. They did this in large
part, I believe, because of their firm
conmitment to the constitutional requirement
that no person's vote shall be entitled to
greater weight than another's.
The reapportionment plan which you
passed earlier this year and which I signed
into law contained for the first time in our
state's history a series of floterial
districts. The concept of floterial
districts in and of itself is not one which
I believe was violative of the Constitution,
nor does it preclude a fair apportionment
plan from being developed. However, I
believe the plan contained in Section U of
HB 37 uses the floterial district to the
detriment of the small district
representative concept and interferes with
the fundamental one man one vote principle.
Additionally, I have been requested by
the overwhelming majority of state
representatives from the City of Keene to
veto this legislation. I believe that the
state Legislature should not overrule the
wishes of those at the local level on
matters which pertain only to the manner and
form in which their individual
representatives shall be elected.
Further, because Section 4 of the bill
becomes effective only on January 1, 1984,
and because the apportionment plan for all
flvs vards has previously beea aianed into
law and will be in effect for the upcoming
election, there is no urgent need to enact a
plan to amend this plan until sometime
during the next regular session.
I hope you will concur with my
objections and sustain this veto.
Sincerely,
Hugh J. Gallen, Governor
Question being notwithstanding the
Governor's veto, shall HB 37 pass.

VETO MESSAGE ON HB 10
To the Honorable Members of the General Court
Pursuant to Part II, Article 4U of the
New Hampshire Constitution, I return
herewith House Bill 10, with my objections
thereto noted.
This budget is fundamentally and fatally
flawed. To sign it would lend my
endorsement to planned financial chaos, and
give my support to an ill-advised program
certain to result in successful litigation
against the state. Signing this bill would
mean renouncing legitimate and fundamental
state obligations; it would guarantee a
deficit at the end of this biennium.
But standing idly by and allowing this
bill to become law without my signature
would be worse. That is the course which
many have urged upon me in the past five
days. That is the course of quick political
expediency. And that is the course which
would abandon the special responsibility of
state leadership, with which I, and I alone
in New Hampshire, have been entrusted.
A budget is more than a mere compilation
of numbers. More than any other document,
more than any other law, it defines the
philosophy of government and it describes
the role and responsibility of government.
A budget gives state government its voice.
It speaks to the financial community;
telling investors of New Hampshire's
willingness and capacity to meet its
obligations. It speaks to the taxpayers;
telling them of their state's ability to
make difficult decisions involving the
allocation of their hard-earned dollars.
And it speaks to those who are a part of
state government and those who are served by
state government; describing for them the
state's level of compassion, its sense of
justice and its concern for equity.
My commitment to the people of New
Hampshire is simple: it is to talk straight
to them about the terribly difficult and
complex issues which confront this state
government, and its counterparts all across
America. I would not be true to that
comnitment if I were to allow this budget,
which gives state government a false and
misguided voice, to pass.
This budget says to the financial
conmunity that New Hampshire is incapable of
calculating its debt service cost, and that
the commitment to pay this most fundamental
of state bills simply can't be made at this
time.
This budget says to the taxpayers of New
Hampshire that vre would rather commit
ourselves to deficit spending, by balancing
a budget on revenue which we know does not
exist, than make hard decisions to seek out
alternative funding possibilities or reduce
other programs.
By themselves, these two facts should be
sufficient to cause any Governor with a
concern for the financial well-being of New
Hampshire to exercise the power of the
veto. But the fundamental defects of House
Bill 10 go far beyond these two issues.
The bill utterly ignores known
obligations. It fails to appropriate
sufficient funds to cover indigent defense
bills uhicb are already on liand> Does
someone believe that if we bury our heads in
the sand long enough, this problem will go
away?
Despite repeated warnings from the
Warden, it funds the State Prison at a level
which makes it impossible to remain in
compliance with the federal court order
under which that institution must operate.
It borrows more than $1.7 million from
the mayors and the selectmen and the
property taxpayers of our state by once
530
HOUSE JOURNAL 9JUN82
again reducing the Business Profits Tax
payments to cities and towns.
It creates the certainty of further
financial problems at the State Liquor
Commission.
It grants broad powers to the Executive
Branch to implement the Management Review,
but then fails to provide the essential
financial and structural resources to help
that implementation succeed.
It ignores known increases in the cost
of the state's health insurance policy.
And of course, it abandons any pretense
of commitment to the collective bargaining
process, established by the Legislature less
than a decade ago.
By all of these acts. House Bill 10 says
to those who rely on government, and to
those who are government, that in New
Hampshire the definitions of compassion aind
justice and equity begin and end with the
dollar sign. I believe that managing the
costs of all state programs is critical; but
it is past time for the legislative
leadership to understand that one cannot
manage a problem by pretending that it
doesn't exist.
Six months ago I stood before a Joint
Convention of the Legislature and outlined
the short and long-term financial issues
confronting New Hampshire.
Four and one-half months ago, I
presented a comprehensive program to
eliminate the short-term problem. Many of
the proposals in that package were readily
acceptable. Others were painful or
politically unpopular, but they were
necessary to meet legitimate state
obligations.
Now after a special session that has
gone on far too long, I am presented with a
budget which fails utterly for by
leaving the short-term problem unresolved,
and by committing the state to deficit
spending, it ensures that we will be in no
position to deal with the far more profound
long-term issues which lie ahead.
House Bill 10 has been described as the
best possible budget under the
circumstances. To be sure, there are many
vital priorities which are funded, and mjiny
good ideas which are adopted by this bill.
I am confident that responsible legislators
will again recognize their obligations in
these areas.
But, the special responsibilities which
rest solely on a Governor dictate, that I
cannot Judge a budget by looking wily at
those issues which have been favorably
resolved. The simple truth is that House
Bill 10 is unbalanced and incomplete. I
believe that state government does have the
capacity to do better. I am confident that
upon r^leoblon, tJtie ilouae and Sfinals will
concur in that judgment.
Sincerely,
Hugh J. Gallen, Governor
Question being notwithstanding the
Governor's veto, shall KB 10 pass.
Rep. Spirou spoke against the bill.
Rep. French spoke in favor of the bill.
A roll call was taken as required by the
Constitution.

residents of each such town, as determined by the commissioner of revenue
administration. The amount appropriated for this purpose shall be

amount for this purpose to the towns and cities according to an equalized
formula calculated by taking for each city and town the amount of local
property taxes assessed, including current distribution of state revenues
to local government, exclusive of education funds; dividing that sum by the
local equalized valuation as determined by the commissioner of revenue
administration; and multiplying the result by the local population to
produce an equalizing factor for each city and town. Such equalizing
factors shall be added together to produce a total state sura. Each local
equalizing factor shall be divided by the total state sum to produce for
each city and town a normalized factor. Each such normalized factor shall
be multiplied by the total amount of revenue to be shared by the cities and
towns to produce the annual share for each city or town. The annual
appropriation for distribution shall be based upon not less than 3/14 of
the total legislative projected revenue less the projected costs of
administration under this section. Provided, however, that no city or town
shall receive under the provisions of this section an amount less than 75
percent of its 1976 distribution under this section. The funds of any such
adjustment shall be provided by a pro rata reduction in the amounts
distributed to those cities and towns otherwise receiving more than the

VETO MESSAGE ON HB 32
To the Honorable Members of the General Court
Pursuant to Part II, Article 4U of the
New Hampshire Constitution, I return House
Bill 32, with my objections thereto noted.
Section I of House Bill 32 provides for
the establishment of new ward lines within
the City of Nashua. As you know, the
fundamental reason for redrawing ward lines,
as well as redrawing legislative districts
every ten years, is to insure that every
citizen of this state will be fully and
fairly represented, and, that no one
person's vote will be entitled to greater
weight than another's. That requirement is
mandated by both our own state constitution,
as well as the federal constitution.
During the course of a ten year period,
significant population growth can, and
usually does occur within the boundaries of
an individual municipality. Significant
changes in population throughout the state
also occur. That is why it is absolutely
essential that ward lines and legislative
districts be drawn in a manner which, at the
very outset, provides for the least possible
deviation between comparable districts.
I believe that the ward lines as
proposed in HB 32 fail this test, and fail
this test substantially. The overall
deviation between the nine wards as proposed
is over 18$. That level of deviation would
be unacceptable to me on a statewide level
where it is extremely difficult to draw
comparable legislative districts due to the
multiplicity of sub-state jurisdictions
involved. It is even more unacceptable to
me when all nine districts proposed to be
redrawn are contained within a single
political entity, therefore, there is no
apparent reason to have anything greater
than a de minimis deviation between wards.
Additionally, the matter of
reapportionment of state legislative
districts — both House and Senate — is now
properly before the Courts. The Federal
District Court is conducting a hearing on
the House passed reapportionment plan on
next Thursday, May 27, 1982, and the State
Supreme Court heard oral argument on the
existing Senate reapportionment law on
Friday, May 21, 1982. I believe it would be
inappropriate for me to take affirmative
action on individual city redistricting
bills until the courts have ruled on the
matters before them which relate to the
apportionment of legislative districts for
the entire State of New Hampshire.
For these reasons, I am returning House
Bill 32 to you. I hope you will concur with
n^ objections and sustain this veto.
Sincerely,
Hugh J. Gallen, Governor
Rep. Spirou moved that consideration of
the Governor's veto message be laid upon the
table.
Adopted.
HOUSE JOURNAL 9JUN82
817
VETO MESSAGE ON HB 39
To the Honorable Members of the General Court
Pursuant to Part II, Article 44 of the
New Hampshire Constitution, I return House
Bill 39, with my objections thereto noted.
This legislation has two primary
components. First, provisions which
authorize the City of Concord to conduct a
special election to ratify newly drawn ward
lines. And second, provisions which specify
that of the 13 representatives allocated by
the General Court to Concord's eight wards,
five will be required to run at-large. It
is the latter of these provisions which
makes the bill unacceptable to me.
Our state's Founding Fathers, as well as
several Constitutional Conventions and
Legislatures, which have considered the
issue of representative district
apportionment since the inception of our
republican form of government, have
repeatedly endorsed the fundamental concept
of small district representation. They did
this in large part, I believe, because of
their firm commitment to the constitutional
requirement that no person's vote shall be
entitled to greater weight than another's.
I believe that the plan for allocating
representatives contained in House Bill 39
seriously interferes with the small district
representative concept that I support, and
has the potential for interfering with the
fundamental one man, one vote principle.
Further, I have been requested by
representatives of both political parties
within the City of Concord to veto this
legislation. Their concerns and my concerns
with this bill are not the proposed ward
lines or the special election to ratify
those proposed ward lines. But rather, it
is the form in which the representatives
from the City of Concord are to be elected
over the next ten years.
Additionally, the matter of
reapportionment of the state legislative
districts — both House and Senate — is now
properly before the Courts. The Federal
District Court is conducting a hearing on
the House passed reapportionment plan on
next Thursday, May 27, 1982, and the New
Hampshire Supreme Court heard oral argument
on the existing Senate reapportionment law
on Friday, May 21, 1982. I believe it would
be inappropriate for me to take affirmative
action on individual city redistricting
bills until the courts have ruled on the
matters before them which relate to the
apportionment of legislative districts for
the entire State of New Hampshire.
If legislation authorizing a special
election for the City of Concord to ratify
new ward lines had reached me either
individually, or in a different form, I
would have been disposed to sign this bill
into law. In its present form however, I
cannot allow it to become law, and I hope
that you will concur with my objections and
sustain this veto.
Sincerely,
Hugh J. Gallen, Governor
Rep. Baybutt moved that consideration of
the Governor's veto message be laid upon the
table.
Adopted.
VETO MESSAGE ON HB 43
To the Honorable Members of the General Court
Pursuant to Part II, Article 44 of the
New Hampshire Constitution, I am returning
House Bill 43, with my objections thereto
noted.
Section 1 of this act contains a plan
for reallocating state representatives
within Strafford County. Specifically of
concern to me is the plan contained therein
for the allocation of representatives within
the City of Dover. That plan assigns one
representative to each of the six wards and
further requires that three representatives
are to be elected at-large from all six
wards combined from a total population of
over 22,000.
Our state's Founding Fathers, as well as
several Constitutional Conventions and
Legislatures, which have considered the
issue of representative district
apportionment since the inception of our
republican form of government, have
repeatedly endorsed the fundamental concept
of small district representation. They did
this in large part, I believe, because of
their firm commitment to the constitutional
requirement that no person's vote shall be
entitled to greater weight than another's.
I believe that the plan for allocating
representatives contained in HB 43 seriously
interferes with the small district
representative concept that I support, and
has the potential for interfering with the
fundamental one man, one vote principle.
With respect to the other portions of HB
43 which contain a plan for the allocation
of representatives within the City of
Manchester as well as a proposal to redraw
the ward lines within Manchester, I believe
that a better, more equitable and judicious
plan can be developed which will have the
support of a broad cross section of the
Manchester community.
Additionally, the matter of
reapportionment of state representative
districts is now before the Federal District
Court. A hearing on the House passed
reapportionment plan is scheduled for today,
May 27, 1982. I believe it would be
Inappropriate for me to take affirmative
action on individual city redistricting
bills until the Court has ruled on the
matters before them which relate to the
reapportionment of legislative districts for
the entire State of New Hampshire.
For these reasons, I am returning HB 43
to you. I hope you will concur with my
objections and sustain this veto.
Sincerely,
Hugh J. Gallen, Governor
Rep. Krasker moved that consideration of
the Governor's veto message be laid upon the
table.

VETO MESSAGE ON HB 45
To the Honorable Members of the General Court
Puratjant to Part 2, Article 44 of the
New Hampshire Constitution, I return House
Bill 45 with my objections thereto noted.
Sections 1 through 9 of this legislation
contain provisions which would establish new
ward lines for the City of Portsmouth and
provide for the manner in which
representatives to the General Court and
State Party Convention Delegates are to be
allocated. These sections of the bill have
the strong support of the Portsmouth
delegation, and I would be disposed towards
HOUSE JOURNAL 16SEP82
845
signing the bill if it were comprised only
of these sections.
However, as members of the General Court
are well aware, the balance of House Bill U5
contains provisions which are virtually
identical to legislation I have previously
vetoed relative to the cities of Manchester,
Dover, Concord, Nashua, and Keene. The
reasons I cited in my veto messages on
legislation governing each of those five
cities are no less compelling today than
they were on the days during which they were
vetoed.
Further, because the apportionment plan
for all cities has been signed into law and
will be in effect for the upcoming election,
there is no urgent need to enact a plan to
amend this plan until sometime during the
next regular session.
I hope you will concur with objections
and sustain this veto.
Sincerely,
Hugh J. Gallen, Governor
Question being notwithstanding the
Governor's veto, shall HB 45 pass.
Reps. Chase and Normand Packard spoke in
favor of the bill and yielded to questions.
Reps. Joseph MacDonald, Krasker, Cotton,
Spirou and McGlynn spoke against the bill.
Reps. Carragher, Sytek, Baybutt and
Randall spoke in favor of the bill.
Reps. Barber, Nardi and Kaklamanos spoke
against the bill and yielded to questions.
A roll call was taken as required by the
Constitution.

HOUSE JOURNAL 16SEP82
UNANIMOUS CONSENT
Rep. Spirou addressed the House by
unanimous consent.
Thank you Mr. Speaker.
As the leader of the Minority party, I
do wish to extend my congratulations and
best wishes to those who have served with
us. I remembered yesterday that it was 12
years ago that I started my political career
in this legislature and 12 years is a long
time. I know many of you have served, many
have served only one term and are leaving.
Go with my best wishes and please stay in
public life.
It's been a tough session for all of us,
many of you are leaving disgruntled, many of
you are leaving disappointed at the
leadership, others are disappointed at
government, others are disappointed at
circumstances that made us bitter at times
in this legislature. But I think all of us
collectively can be proud that we have
served in the best tradition of the New
Hampshire political system.
I'm proud of everyone that I have served
with. Democrats or Republicans. We've had
our differences, but I don't believe that
there is a person in this chamber that can
say that we've ever personalized an issue;
that we've not been able to have a drink
afterwards, that we have not been able to
discuss the issues at hand or the position
that MS have taken.
I hope that for whatever reason any of
you are not coming back that you do not
leave government altogether. Government
needs people and particularly people who
give of themselves as we have to in the New
Hampshire Legislature.
And Mr. Speaker, before I finish I want
to thank the Majority leadership for the
cooperation that they have given us, I want
to thank the Democratic leadership for the
support they have given me, and to the other
Democrats and Republicans in the House for
the friendship and support that they have
extended to us, the Minority party, in this
past session of the legislature.
And, above all, I want both Democrats
and Republicans to recognize the service and
the job that the presiding officer has done
in the last session of the legislature, a
most difficult one. An honorable man and a
person who has tried under difficult
circumstances to provide us with all of the
things that we need as minority party or
majority party, as individuals. Republicans,
Democrats, mad, angry: The Speaker of the
House. Please join me in giving him a big
hand for a job well done.
