(Manchester – May 23, 2013) Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire strongly supports the State Senate Finance Committee’s decision to block Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion yesterday.
 
Kristin Beaulieu, Director of Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire made the following statement:

“Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire would like to thank the Senate Finance Committee for recognizing the problems associated with expanding Medicaid in New Hampshire and with accepting money from the federal government to fund this expansion. By expanding Medicaid, which is a key provision of Obamacare, there is great concern that the cost of paying for this expansion will fall on the people of New Hampshire. 
 
“The reliance on which our state would have to have on the federal government to fund the expansion is too much of a risk. There is no guarantee that the money will continue to be given and no concrete data that points to lower costs and increased health care with the expansion. The Senate Finance Committee made the right decision in seeing that New Hampshire cannot afford to expand Medicaid on the backs of Granite Staters.”
 

Teens Robbed of I-pod/Cell Phone

 

MANCHESTER, NH- On Monday, February 11, 2013, at about 6:30 PM, Manchester Police responded to a Clay Street address for a report of a robbery.  On arrival, they met with two 16 year old Manchester teens who reported they had been the victims of a robbery a short time earlier on Somerville Street, near Belmont Street.

 

According to the boys, they were walking in the area when they were approached by two men, one of whom demanded their belongings, indicating his companion had a gun, although no gun was observed.

 

One of the boys surrendered his I-pod Nano and Galaxy S3 cell phone and the men left.  They were last seen leaving the area as passengers in an older, dark colored 4-door sedan operated by a third individual who was possibly wearing a red sweatshirt.

 

The first suspect was described as a white male in his forties, about 6’3” tall with a slender build and dark “stubble” on his face.  He was last seen wearing a dark colored vest and a green “beanie” style hat.  The second man, alleged to have possessed a gun, was described as a clean-shaven white male in his forties with an average height and build.  He was last seen wearing a camouflage shirt and khaki pants.
