As posted on the Lee Nyquist for State Senate facebook page:
"Today, the New Hampshire Union Leader lead editorial, May 3, 2012 (www.unionleader.com and page A12 of the print edition), called HB 1403, the bill passed by the House which would extingish Bedford's IB program, "myopic." The NHUL called on the Senate "to toss this riduculous bill unanimously." We will all be watching closely today when the Senate Education Committee makes it recommendation to the full Senate and when the full Senate acts later this month. The NHUL called the supporters of this bill, which include one of my announced opponents who voted to pass the bill on the House vote, "a small group of conspiracy theorists." Finally, the NHUL uses biting sarcasm to criticize the supporters of the bill and the ideology of its supporters.
Since, I have promised to bring civility, collegiality, and bipartisanship back to Concord when I am elected State Senator, I have not chosen to use the language and sarcasm utilized by the NHUL in the editorial in urging that HB 1403 be killed and IB and local autonomy thereby preserved. Rather, I have called the bill and its supporters misguided and mistaken.
In any event, the legislators who support and have voted for HB 1403 are prime examples of those who have elevated imported ideologies over the interests of their constituents. Although the NHUL language is harsher than language that I choose to use, the substance of the editorial is dead-on and it is good to see a strongly conservative Republican voice such as the NHUL editorial board recognizing the errors of the ways of the legislators who have voted to extinguish Bedford's IB program.
NHUL editorial board, welcome aboard! I again remind Bedford residents and residents in the other 13 towns in the new Senate District 9 that when I am elected State Senator, I will be an unwavering voice for the best public education both achievable and affordable and an unwaving proponent of local autonomy."
