The Carroll County Democrats Grover Cleveland Dinner, (and annual fundraiser) was held last night, at the Grand Summit Hotel in Bartlett.
There were over 400 in attendence - a sell out crowd. This year, there were groups of high school students from both Kingswood and Kennett High Schools. Many NH luminaries were in attendance, and the keynote speaker was John Edwards.
As my husband and I were leaving, occasional Blue Hampshire blogger chuckster stopped and asked if I were going to blog about the dinner, what was THE story?
I must confess, my contact lenses were killing me, and they were THE story for me at the time. Neither of us had much of a focus - and chuckster was lamenting his inability to imitate the clarity of bloggers at Kos (mentioning Miss Laura, btw) and the clever angles they come up with.
Then it hit me - my husband had told part of THE story earlier.
On Thursday, March 8, the Commerce Committee will be deciding what to do about HB88, a bill calling for the creation of a study committee on single payer health care.
There is some desire to create a whole different study committee to create affordable health care bills for 2008. It's important that interested folks contact the members of the committee and urge them to pass HB8 so that single payer will get the attention it deserves, and not get lost in the shuffle of other options.
Senate Multimillionares Vote To Block Minimum Wage Hike
After repeated delays by conservatives, the Senate voted 87-10 today to end debate on legislation that will raise the minimum wage for the first time in a decade, from $5.15 to $7.25. The bill will move to a full vote in the next several days.
Ten right-wing senators stuck together and voted to further delay raising the minimum wage:
Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC)
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK)
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC)
Sen. John Ensign (R-NV)
Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH)
Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK)
Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA)
Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ)
Sen. David Vitter (R-LA)
