New Hampshire legislators vote themselves free ski passes

Politicians hard at work:
New Hampshire’s House is voting this week whether lawmakers should get free ski passes for Cannon Mountain.
The majority of the Legislative Administration Committee is recommending killing a bill Wednesday that would grant the legislative perk.
A one-day lift ticket is $70 for an adult and the bill allowed unlimited free access.
Opponents say using the perk a half dozen times would be worth twice as much as lawmakers’ biennial salary.
Supporters argue that lawmakers have open access to state parks which promotes awareness of the locations.
They say skiing at Cannon doesn’t add costs to the ski area and encourages members to experience that part of New Hampshire culture.

Posted on February 20, 2013 at 2:32amNow we have undeniable proof.
The state Legislature in New Hampshire is going downhill fast.
The Slalom is great training for ducking reporter’s questions.
At least when they hit the powder, it won’t be a Marion Barry cocktail.
The snow won’t be alone anymore, plenty of other flakes are about to take to the hill.
This story is cold, very cold.
A skiing lawmaker is pole driven.

Posted on February 19, 2013 at 9:53pmThis just another example of how politicians think they are better than the common citizen. Sure, it will be voted down, but the names of the legislatures who propsed this bill should be publisherd in every paper in New Hampshire.
