Should this be a cause for concern?

(See Post #7 - Jonas Pilot's link to Concord Monitor) is written by a woman from New Hampton who is one of the volunteer water sample takers and it speaks all about the water testing of New Hampshire lakes and rivers and the DES testing of many public beaches and public swimming pools. While the article does not give a specific legislative bill, it does say how the combined volunteer and professional water test program will be terminated due to it's no longer being funded. Most likely, the recent cyanobacteria outbreak on the west side of Bear Island was examined, tested, and test results made public due directly to the NH-DES water testing program which would get cut or curtailed due to no money for water testing.

It's a very well written newspaper article, authored by someone who is a volunteer water sample taker, who is very familiar with the DES volunteer water testing program. It is very remarkable that the article says that the volunteers have to pay out of their own pocket, in some cases, for the water test lab at Plymouth State University to perform a test on their water sample which they bottled and labeled from one of many different NH lakes or rivers. A big round of applause here for the volunteer water sample takers.

It just figures that those no-good stinky NH Republicans would seriously be thinking about stopping this state wide, volunteer-professional partnership that tests the NH waters. Hopefully, the entire NH Republican leadership team will come down with a good strong case of diarrhea. They deserve it and they would do a very quick about-face on under-funding the state waters testing program!
