Preamble to the Constitution of the IBEW
GamingWE NEED YOUR HELP
The NH Senate Finance Committee voted on Wed. May 27th to include gaming into the Senate proposal of the state budget. On Thursday June 4th the full senate will vote on this budget proposal with gaming included. It is very crucial that this proposal passes the Senate with gaming included as a new revenue source for the state of NH. If it is successful the bill will then move to the House where gaming has been killed many times before. So we must work hard over the next few months and convince our legislators that now is the time to allow gaming in NH. As construction workers this would bring jobs to NH not seen since the construction of Seabrook Station. As tax payers we can’t afford any tax increases of any form. To help we must take one step at a time. Log on to www.nh.gov click on Senate find your senator call them and tell them you support gaming as a revenue source for the state of NH you support the hundreds of construction jobs and permanent jobs that will be created. That the time is now for expanded gaming we can’t afford a property tax increase or any added tax revenue increases we need good jobs and we need them now! If your Senator does not pick up make sure you leave a message. Paul Montminy Sr.We are very saddened to inform our membership of the recent passing of brother Paul Montminy Sr. Paul passed early Thursday morning May 21, 2009. Paul will be greatly missed by the members of local 490.
Funeral: Monday 25th 10:00am Luncheon: 12:00pm at the Puritan Backroom Limited GamingLimited gaming will bring jobs to New Hampshire The approval of limited gaming will mean much more than money for the state budget. It means jobs for NH workers at a time we need them the most. The latest unemployment figures for New Hampshire are in. They are not good. Unemployment increased from 3.7% in March 2008 to 6.2% in March 2009 - an increase of 67%. But cold statistics cannot begin to tell the toll this is taking on New Hampshire families. FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND (45,000) people no longer have a job. 45,000 families without a breadwinner. This is unacceptable. The renovation of Rockingham Park in Salem for limited gaming means a $450 million infusion of cash, wages and jobs into New Hampshire's economy. It will bring hundreds of lobs paying millions in wages. SB 152The NH Senate Energy Science and technology committee unanimously voted SB 152 inexpedient to legislate on Thursday April 1st this is a huge victory in our efforts for continued construction at Merrimack Station (Bow Power plant).
