Court rules out-of-state students

| Strafford County Superior Court Judge John Lewis ruled Monday that out-of-state students have the right to vote in New Hampshire, a decision immediately criticized by top Republican legislators. “New Hampshire citizens have a right to elect individuals of their own choosing,” House Speaker William O'Brien said in a joint statement with Senate President Peter Bragdon. “Allowing non-residents into New Hampshire to dictate who will be our presidential choice, who shall be our governor, and who shall represent us in the Legislature takes away our voting rights.”

Comments:
A liberal judge appointed by our liberal former Governor, now Senator Shaheen, finds that having the right to vote supersedes other state laws that residents are required to obey. Another case of the ends justifying the means.

Does this mean they have the right to vote in their home state, too?
Sorry, this is such utter crap.

Predictable.
NH was starting to "Lean Romney"
This will go to NH Supreme Court, and be immediately struck down, NH Supreme Court has already ruled back in 1980 that transient non-residents do not have the right to vote in NH.

I don't have a problem with it...so long as they are only allowed to vote in one place. When a student lives in a state for 4 years while attending college - he lives there. But he can't have it both ways; he doesn't get 2 votes.

In order to vote you must be a resident within the precinct in which you will vote. If the court is ruling students are residents rather than transients then don't they also get to claim in state tuition as well. After all residency is residency.

Democrat governors go out and find the dumbest ass they can find and appointment them to the bench. Then the dumbasses do as they are told. Democrats are the smartest politicians and the sorriest human beings on the planet.

The voters of N.H. (heavily leavened with immigrants from MA), make a huge mistake in voting for this witch for governor. Then, to compound their mistake, they followed up by voting her into the U.S. senate, and replacing her with another dimocrat governor (John Lynch) who has continued the job of ruining the state. The good news is that they are not rethinking what they've done and are trying hard to correct it. The problem is that the stench of these liberals lingers long after they leave office. Come on folks. Don't let the Obamites win. Do all you can to beat them back in the 2012 election--unless you want to become Massachusetts North.

Many students remain residents of their parents' voting districts. They return home each summer. For purposes of in-state tuition discounts, one year of continuous in-state residency is required. On this basis, it makes sense that students who claim their home state as their residence should be able to vote in that state.
Much ado about nothing, really. I've worked with, and hired a couple of hundred young college students over the last ten years. The vast majority hardly follow politics--they're too busy checking out their friends on FaceBook. Very few of them vote, let alone go to the trouble of obtaining absentee ballots from their home voting districts.

Remember
Students illegally voting twice, ie. 'same day registration' in Minnesota [from Madison Wis., 'on a lark'] was what put D Senator Fr. into the Senate, giving the Ds the ObamaCare majority.
ALSO

Yes, OP. And the lawyer bringing the suit is a very far-leftie.
#7 is correct. We moved here from the very corrupt MA. We are well aware of libs who've moved here, for the better all-around environment but proceed to spread their putrefaction into our politics.
Unfortunately, there are too many apathetic, lazy people who just don't bother to care or vote.
On the other hand, Dem/Lefties tend to be activist. But once they've ruined NH, they'll simply languish in the fetid swamp. A glance around the country, what do we see? bankrupt States, all governed long-term by Dem/Lefties and/or Dem/Leftie legislatures.
A far left-winger, Maggie Hassan is running for Governor. The awful Carole Shay-Porter is running to try to take back the House seat from Frank Guinta... she was in Congress during the obamacare (and Stimulus, etc) fiasco and abomination was passed.
I hope #3 is right.
Give it to those Dem/Lefties: they do not take defeat and go away. Like all horror flick characters, they return again and again to wreak their mayhem.

Gun control has been driving the news this week, or at least the mail. In recent weeks readers have been encouraging me to dive into the morass. There is so much noise on this issue that I don´t know where to begin. (Snip) There are abundant gun laws on the books. If they were enforced and followed up we might be able to make a dent in gun violence. But laws don´t curb the lawless.

Today the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis released their 2012 personal income estimates. Personal income is an important economic measure of a state’s well-being. (Snip) Since 1950, Maine has increased taxes and spending dramatically with the introduction of the sales tax in 1951 and the income tax in 1969. New Hampshire, on the other hand, did not. Increasing taxes on the private sector has two consequences. First, higher taxes will mean less money in the pockets of individuals and businesses which will reduce their ability to invest for the future.

Many who march in the army of the president say that all they want is to return to the good old days when Bill Clinton rode the range and rich people paid their fair share of taxes. Back then, they say, all was good. In 2000, the top tax rate was 39.6 percent and there was a 2.9 percent Medicare tax on top of that. (Snip) This means that the top stated rate for taxes is now 43.4 percent — a rate that is higher than that paid in Clintonian times.

Electric cars are promoted as the chic harbinger of an environmentally benign future. Ads assure us of "zero emissions," and President Obama has promised a million on the road by 2015. With sales for 2012 coming in at about 50,000, that million-car figure is a pipe dream. (Snip) If a typical electric car is driven 50,000 miles over its lifetime, the huge initial emissions from its manufacture means the car will actually have put more carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere than a similar-size gasoline-powered car driven the same number of miles.

Brentwood - A Portsmouth man received the maximum sentence for attempting to kidnap a woman as she got out of her SUV at a shopping plaza, and almost got ordered to pay for the gun she later bought to protect herself. James Perry, 37, was sentenced to 7½ to 15 years in state prison Thursday, drawing harsh words from Judge N. William Delker about the lifelong fear he imposed on the victim, Katherine Booth.

The lesson is that huge budget deficits and ultra-low interest rates — the basics of stimulus — have limits and can be self-defeating. To use a well-worn metaphor: Stimulus becomes a narcotic. People feel better for a while, but the effect wears off. The economy then needs a new fix. Too many fixes may spawn new problems (examples: excessive debt, asset “bubbles,” inflation). That’s already happened in Japan. It’s caught in a trap. On the one hand, it needs stimulus to grow. On the other, the debt from past stimulus measures threatens future growth.

The city´s designated emergency ambulance company, American Medical Response, has significantly increased its rates, prompting fresh complaints about large bills for trips to the hospital. Starting on Jan. 1, the company hiked its rates about 50 percent, charging $2,445 for a standard trip to the hospital. (Snip) AMR officials have said that it is forced to raise the rates it charges insurance companies to defray the costs of providing emergency service to those only covered by Medicare or Medicaid, as well as those who do not have insurance and cannot afford to pay.

The number of automatic weapons in New Hampshire increased dramatically after 2010, according to federal firearms records, although it remains unclear whether the growth is being driven by civilians, law enforcement or the military. The number of registered machine guns in New Hampshire spiked 80 percent between the end of 2010 and March 2012, according to the most current data available from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). (Snip) ATF data indicates there were 9,863 registered machine guns in New Hampshire as of last March, up from 5,479 in December 2010.

Like many people whose houses were badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy, my family and I have been living in a rented house since the storm. Unlike some whose houses were totalled, we could have repaired things and been home toasting our tootsies by our own fireplace by now. What happened? Two things: zoning (as in "Twilight Zone") and FEMA. (Snip) Before you could get a building permit, however, you had to be approved by the Zoning Authority.

The Republican-led House Rules Committee late Monday approved a rule for a massive Hurricane Sandy relief package that shuts out most GOP proposals to pare back the size of the bill. The main bill provides $17 billion in relief, and an amendment made in order would add another $33.7 billion, for a total of $50.7 billion. Late last week, Republicans offered amendments that would trim the bill significantly, but few of those were made "in order" by the Rules Committee on Monday.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
