NH
AG’s office releases names of NH lawmakers former rep Kyle Tasker
sold drugs to.
Kyle
Tasker, among other things was charged with selling drugs to other
members of the NH House
No
charges will be filed.
Several of which used online applications like
FB to communicate and transact (stupid)
The
Attorney General conducted interviews with all parties except one
who died in June. Feel free to read the NH 1 article in the show
notes, as well as their conversations with the AG. These reps
include Pamela Tucker, Amanda Bolden, Joseph Lachance, and Ted
Wright.
Broadly, I’m wondering why any of them would
say anything. Probably in exchange for amnesty, but what did the AG
really have one them? Some online communication perhaps. But unless
they could track the money, or witnessed the sale, I’m wondering
why they said anything at all.
I’m
disappointed any liberty minded reps would participate so fully.
Perhaps there are circumstances beyond my knowledge, and if so, I’m
free to change my mind later. At first read, dissapointed. Bouldin
and Lachance were pretty detailed in discussing their interactions
with Tasker, Bouldin naming Pamela Tucker as someone who she knew
purchased drugs from Tasker. Lachance quite forthright about
details of his purchases, as well as Tasker’s
operation.
Pamela Tucker is a complete hypocrite. Her
official position is against marijuana use. So it’s ok to lock
peaceful people up for using a plant, but she gets away with it
because of her privileged position.
Of
the four it’s pretty easy to have compassion for Ted Wright, whose
wife battled cancer and used marijuana to suppress the terrible
side affects of her treatment.

Placenames are surprisingly sticky. Almost all
names aren’t original, they come from one place or
another
Rockingham County: Named after Charles
Watson-Wentworth 2nd Marquess of Rockingham. He was Prime minister
from 1765-66 tried to repeal the Stamp Act while PM. He was leader
of the opposition for the following 12 years and was a staunch
supporter of constitutional rights for the colonists. In a latter
he wrote,"I fear indeed
the future struggles of the people in defence of their
Constitutional Rights will grow weaker and weaker. It is much too
probable that the power and influence of the Crown will increase
rapidly. We live at the period when for the first time since the
Revolution, the power and influence of the Crown is held out, as
the main and chief and only support of Government. If we...do not
exert now, we may accelerate the abject state to which the
Constitution may be reduced"
Strafford County: Named after William
Wentworth, 2nd Earl of Strafford. Erroneously named because it was
thought that he was an ancestor of NH Governor John Wentworth
1767-1775. Strafford died childless.
Portsmouth: Named after the city in Hampshire,
England. Which was the port where NH colony founder John Mason had
been captain.
Hampshire is named after the town of Hampton
which later became Southampton, Hampshire, England (to distinguish
from Northampton)
Dover: Named after Robert Dover in 1637 by
second NH governor George Burdett. Dover was a lawyer who resisted
Puritanism, Burdett was episcopalian and as we’ve discussed before
NH wasn’t puritan like Plymouth Colony.
Rochester: Named by Massachusetts and NH
Governor Samuel Shute for his friend Laurence Hyde, 1st Earl of
Rochester brother-in-law to King James II
Gonic: Short for Squamanagonic. Abenaki for
“water of the clay place hill”
Somersworth: Named originally Summersworth like
the season because it was a place where ministers would preach in
the summer. When it was incorporated in 1754 a clerical error
caused the current spelling
Exeter: Named by John Wheelwright after Exeter,
Devon
Piscataqua: Abenaki from the roots
Peske(branching) tegwe(strong tidal river).
Cochecho River: Abenaki for rapid foaming
water. Relating to the falls at Dover. Cocheco Manufacturing
Company incorporated in 1827 also had a clerical error removing the
final h when they were incorporated. Most people now pronounce it
Co-chee-co now.
