Executive Councilor, New Hampshire District 5
Debora and Vice-president Biden, before he was VP.
Greetings District 5 Residents!
As you can see from my meeting notes, our Agenda is getting very long - it is nearing the end of the Fiscal Year, July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009, and there are always an enormous number of contracts to look over at this time. I expect that, at our next meeting, the last one of this Fiscal Year, we will have over 500 items on the Agenda!
The Councilors and the Governor take turns planning each meeting, arranging breakfast, an interesting speaker at breakfast, and arranging musical entertainment before each meeting. This last meeting was my turn. Since I am very interested in following the Federal Stimulus money, I asked Bud Fitch, our Stimulus Czar, to speak with us and give an update on where we are and where it looks like we are going. All of our breakfasts and speakers and meetings are open to the public. Also see www.nh.gov/recovery, the state's website on ARRA information.
In addition, I arranged for music before our meeting. Tom Rush has been one of my favorite musicians and singers since, well, the 60s. Since I read that he had recently returned to live in New Hampshire, I arranged to bring him to Governor and Council to sing a few songs. If you want, you can view his singing and guitar playing, at the independent broadband Executive Council site, scroll down to the June 3rd meeting, and click on part 1. I believe you will enjoy it.
The next Governor and Council Meeting will be held Wednesday, June 17, 2009 in the State House, Concord, NH.

Council Meetings
The official Executive Council website has our upcoming schedule, current agenda items, approved minutes, and archives. The independent broadband Executive Council site has streaming video of our meetings on the day after the meeting.
My meeting notes include items I think are of interest to our Council District 5.
