Well, I think the day on of the Election the Clerks may be too busy with the election to get involved with registering a voter- But I do think if a safe format and procedure is in place it would be helpful- Final answer I would have to do more research
Well firstly to preserve every inch of open space and woodland that can be saved- Secondly they should try and eliminate any waste and redundancy from the state budget- keeping costs down for government, that will curb the consistent need of new growth for increased taxes.
The legislature should finance new apartment buildings that will be 100% subsidized for low income people and families. The legislature should look at dis-continued state real-estate holdings to build subsidized housing-The legislature should change the tax appropriation for non subsidized -high priced rental housing from residential to commercial rates. If there is not a large percentage at affordable rates-The state should also make sure affordable units are truly affordable-
I would say that we as state will only take legal immigrants -unless there is an outstanding issue, a significant situation. I think that all immigrants should learn English.
Transportation and the infra-structure go hand in hand- The state has kicked this can down the road and now we are in a critical stage of degraded roads trains and public transportation. I believe in the inner cities there should be bus lanes where possible-in our district I would like to see the MBTa commuter line extended to southern New Hampshire
