This year, Norm's sponsoring a bunch of bills. None of them have anything to do with his committee, Fish & Game and Marine Resources, but most of them have a great deal to do with his brand of Bircher ideology.
HOUSE BILL 1254
AN ACT establishing a committee to study the effect of illegal immigration on the state and its political subdivisions.
SPONSORS: Rep. Duarte, Rock 1; Rep. Tamburello, Rock 3; Rep. Tregenza, Carr 2; Rep.Renzullo, Hills 27; Rep. Rappaport, Coos 1; Rep. Cox, Merr 6
One of his co-sponsors is Rappaport, the birther. A birther and a Bircher is a match made in a very warm place, redolent of sulpher.
HOUSE BILL 1383
AN ACT relative to residency status for the purpose of receiving in-state tuition status within the university system of New Hampshire.
SPONSORS: Rep. Duarte, Rock 1; Rep. Mirski, Graf 10; Rep. Tamburello, Rock 3; Rep.Rappaport, Coos 1; Rep. Cox, Merr 6; Rep. Tregenza, Carr 2; Rep. Reagan, Rock 1
Don't in-state students have to be residents of the state? Hmmm:
ANALYSIS
This bill requires that students receiving in-state tuition status within the university system of New Hampshire also be legal residents of the United States.
I guess Tregenza, Rappaport and the rest of the gang weren't quite daring enough to stipulate that these legal residents also be white, but the intent is clear.
Norm has also filed 5 resolutions:

Finally, Rep. Tregenza has filed CACR 20:

But...
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 33
RELATING TO: biennial legislative sessions.
PROVIDING THAT: the general court shall meet biennially.
SPONSORS: Sen. White, Dist 9; Sen. Boutin, Dist 16; Sen. Bragdon, Dist 11; Sen.DeBlois, Dist 18; Sen. Forsythe, Dist 4; Sen. Gallus, Dist 1; Sen.Lambert, Dist 13; Sen. Luther, Dist 12; Rep. Avard, Hills 20; Rep.K.Murphy, Hills 18 Rep. Gimas, Hills 12; Rep. Pepino, Hills 11
Is this such a fabulous idea that we need 2 Constitutional Amendments that say the same thing? Do these people not talk to each other? Do they not like Norm Tregenza?
At a cost of approx. $1500 per bill, Norm's wasting a lot of taxpayer money. Of course it may be that the US House is just breathlessly waiting to hear from the NH House before bringing back the gold standard. |
