Should NH authorize one or more casinos?
"Initiallt casinos would be advantageous to the state [illegible] but long term due to the saturated markets in other states & possibly would not support it. Also due to the marketing and targeting of these casinos to the elderly who are most vulnerable and have lowered income, I would also not feel that I would support them - must see bill in final form."

"I wish to give back to this great state and my community. I believe I can. I feel in these uncertain times a moderate Independent can roll up his sleeves and make a difference in Concord. I am not running on ideology but on what's best for the people of Peterborough, the Monadnock Region and New Hampshire. I will interpret, listen, be reasonable, logical and fair and will not hurt our most vulnerable populations. I will cross the aisle and be bipartisan."
