I've gone to legislative hearings where there were 5 or 6 interested citizens in the room and the rest of the room was full of lobbyist looking out for the companies they represent. The ordinary citizen in New Hampshire doesn't have the chance of a snowball in hell of ever changing anything in this State Government.

You are so right about that. I had occasion to spend a lot of time in Concord going to hearings and for several of them the room was full of US trying to change the law. It went on and on, I can't tell you how many times we went to Concord and how much time it took to do so. In the end the lobbyist who happened to be from Gilmanton came up with a "law" and they accepted it. It was better than nothing but it was not really what we all wanted. I found it very interesting that the lobbyist said to them that he didn't have this problem in Gilmanton. It took a few meetings before the lobbyists showed up but I can tell you I don't have much use for them. We would have been better if they stayed away. To my knowledge noone has ever taken advantage of the new law. But at least we did something.
