NH FAMILY COURT

REMEMBER YOUR NOT ALONE. Please contact your state house representative or THE CENTER FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES in NH. And watch SPEAK UP NH, who shows one NH Family Court case after another like Jamie Doherty's http://youtu.be/CIOXB21sBMY. You too can tell the public your experience with NH's Family Judicial Branch. NH's very own Family Court Records are proving that NH's Judicial Branch fully participates and supports Kidnapping and Domestic Violence; Real Estate Fraud, Mortgage Fraud, and Property Deed Fraud; Perjury, Falsifying Documents and Non Existing Issues, and above all, Obstruction of all Justice. Case file after case file showing all the evidence in multiple Family Court Records, that are filling the NH County Court Clerk Records Offices daily throughout the whole state! People are being visited by the FBI and THREATENED simply over a NH divorce case. You truly know the truth struck a nerve then. So become a part of the solution and bring them your court case file with your evidence of your experience with NH Family Court. Fear and Silence only continues to fuel what is already a corrupted government branch harming all those who pay their salaries. You are not alone. Numbers can truly speak louder than words!

What Can One Say Other than It's NH
NH's government makes their own "Vietnam Wars" just exactly
the same as our "Stable Genius," President Donald Trump.

Updated July 20, 2018
The evolution of the human species has definitely evolved but not at all for the better.  Despite the fact that there has been a NH educational structure for well over 30 years teaching safe sex, instead of abstinence makes a body healthier, clearly has now proven to be less than adequate education for our children. Even to the point of actually now literally going in one ear and out the other. 

As of 3 years ago, our little New England granite state among many, was historically recorded to have had close to 60,000 NH members, including several government officials, that were poetically listed on the "Ashley Madison - Life Is Short, Have An Affair," Website Breach.  Which coincidentally was also suddenly publicly breached just several months after NH had just decriminalized adultery altogether on January 1, 2015.  NH still remains adultery lawless to this day.  Then again, this is NH, the state who must always live by their motto, "Live Free Or Die " trying to.

For well over the past 6 decades, having sexual intercourse with others, other than just your spouse or just a very significant other, is strongly considered as no real cause to divorce or even separate here in NH.  Thus, that is until the so-called now impeccable proof of the adultery committed also now comes with impeccable proof that it is now the unquestionable "main cause" to divorce.  That is only after all that, it now supports all and any impeccable proof from any reasonable doubt.  Gee, how long did it actually really take them to make all that up?  First, Let me begin by showing you what NH judges do with evidence.  My Husband's attorney Richard C Follender, came to court with nothing but an empty briefcase, pad of paper, and pen.  He proudly told Superior Criminal Court Judge Groff that his client  (my husband) is unable to pay alimony let alone a place to live, and that he is currently moving from house to house between family and friends and needs the homestead to be sold. 

When my attorney immediately asked Judge Groff, "Then where is she suppose to go?  What is she suppose to do?"  He did not answer her. Then she suddenly pointed to my husband and his attorney and firmly said, "Their lying!"  He then suddenly grew a backbone, and became agitatedly while asking, "do you have any proof?", while confidently presuming the answer will be no! 

She then suddenly lifted up a private investigators report along with several of my husband's year end pay stubs in her hand that supported his yearly income for the past several years, and firmly said, "yes, we have a private investigators report!"  Judge Groff immediately then just suddenly but quietly swallowed, then wrote a few notes in his notebook, and  then ended the hearing while just saying he will make a decision. He then stood up and walked out of the courtroom without any of the evidence in hand to further review.  His final decision was to deny me alimony while he now ordered my home to be sold out from under me, then placed the profits of the sale into escrow for the 2 years, that it then took to go to trial. All decided from just a 15 minute hearing and no evidence. He denied me means to pay rent, utilities, food, transportation, and prescriptions that were preventing heart attack, strokes, and blood clots while only living on my $164 weekly gross income, after 21 years of marriage.

I ended up having a massive stroke a few years later from blood clots in both my lungs and also in the right frontal lobe of my brain.  That had to then be surgically removed immediately, though not without further complications.  It caused 3 more additional surgeries that also required 12 more additional blood transfusions and an entire month of transferring me by ambulance between 4 different hospitals and multiple surgeons.  It took me months just to partially rebuild my strength on my left side, and regain my ability to even have the ability to speak again, let alone walk on my own again. 

Now I am permanently disabled from intermitted memory loss, and forced to live on disability for the rest of my life off of the very state who put me in this position in the first place. And all just so my husband could now support and marry his co-workers twice divorced sharing welfare fraud committing mistress who has 4 children, fathered by 3 different men.  A women who commits welfare fraud now with multiple married men even simultaneously.  According to the NH Judiciary committee, I had no case against Judge Groff when I called and reported what happened in a 15 minute hearing requesting temporary alimony.  This is what real NH justice is for you!

Judge Groff, like many NH judges, especially the entire NH Supreme Court who very much enjoys making up many of there own personal ideas pertaining to laws and sex. 

"French kissing doesn't amount to sexual contact under New Hampshire law, according to Hillsborough County Superior Court Judge William Groff.  Judge Groff dismissed a felony sexual assault charge against a city teen-ager, finding that sexual assault laws don't cover kissing with the tongue.   The young man faced a charge of felonious sexual assault, involving a 6-year-old girl. 


State law defines sexual contact as intentional touching of sexual or intimate parts.  The tongue, Judge Groff ruled, is neither sexual nor intimate.  He reasoned that the tongue is neither sexual nor intimate and wrote, "A tongue is not related to sexual relations, nor is it private. A tongue is displayed daily by the average person in speech and other conduct."


"To accept the state's definition of tongue as an 'intimate part," Groff wrote, "would result in a person potentially committing a felonious sexual assault by touching a person's tongue with a finger."

The judge further reasoned that French kissing can't be considered sexual contact under state law "even if done without consent and even if done for the purpose of sexual gratification."

"In 1989, Groff overturned convictions of a Lowell, Mass., man, who was found guilty of sexually assaulting a young boy in Nashua because the boy used the word “bum” rather than “anus” in his testimony.  Because of the potential ambiguity of the word “bum,” Groff found that the boy’s testimony wasn’t enough to prove sexual penetration.  In 1991, the state Supreme Court even upheld Groff’s decision to dismiss the convictions. Months later, that man pleaded guilty to sexual assault charges involving the same boy in Massachusetts."


As clearly proven here, our NH Supreme Court is clearly only just as educated as Judge Groff.  Gee, does anyone happen to see the problem here yet?

Social Monogamy is actually a term used to refer to "creatures that pair up to mate and raise their off-springs but still will have flings on the side,"  A true monogamous mammal is a goose that will never mate again even if it's mate was killed. 

Daniel Kruger, a Social and Evolutionary Psychologist at the University of Michigan's School of Public Health was noted to say, "like most mammals, we are a polygamous species."  However, medically speaking more and more every day, we are beginning to show signs of one of the higher causes that will end up bringing us to our own demise. Another professor of sociology at the University of Washington Seattle, Pepper Schwartz, was noted saying, "I don't think we are a monogamous animal." 

There are roughly 5,000 species known to form a lifelong bond and the majority of humans are definitely not one of them.

According to Stressgen Biotechnology's research, HPV is only one of the most common STD's transmitted in the world.  HPV is also 'THE' major risk factor now for more than one cancer that might take years to show. The papilloma virus lives in the cells of the outer skin as well as inside the body, mainly in the vagina, anal, and urethra. HPV can show no visible skin changes while hiding inactive infections that can only be detected microscopically within the skin cells.  And only found by using special tests that only specifically look for HPV-DNA.  When condoms are not completely covering the entire shaft of the penis or pubic skin, hidden and inactive papilloma cells can transfer and pass from a man's pubic area into the vagina, vulva, and anus simply through a skin to skin contact.

According to the CDC, 79 million Americans, now mostly in their teens and 20's, are infected with HPV.  Studies conducted by the Kaise Foundation initially found out that 70% of Americans knew nothing about HPV as a sexually transmitted disease, and they did not know one very important fact.  That it cannot be detected by common regular STD screening.  This is becoming a very serious problem in more ways than one.

to find out the numbers of HPV-Attributed cancers, multiply the number of HPV associated cancer by the % of probably caused HPV cases. This is how to find out the number of HPV-Attributed Cancer totals.

Children are also being infected by STD's at a younger age.  Between 2012 to 2016 the state of NH had a total of 16,238 cases of chlamydia reported from all age groups throughout the state.  However, the report broke it down and surprisingly showed that there actually were 4,170 cases between the ages of 13 to 19.  While 7,228 cases were diagnosed between the ages of 20 to 24.  And an additional 2,673 cases were diagnosed between the ages of 25 to 29 years of age.  There were only 2,167 cases that were spread out between the ages of 30 to 60+ yrs of age.  The only way to truly have safe sex today is to have extremely minimal sex partners meaning no more than 1 or 2 in a lifetime.

With Chlamydia patients, all of their sexual partners must be notified and treated with antibiotics,
even if they don't show or experience any symptoms.  This will prevent any long-term complications or further spread of the infection onto others. 

Untreated Chlamydia in women, or Pelvic Inflammatory Disease infections in females can cause vaginal irritation, vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, painful intercourse, bleeding between menstrual cycles, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, infertility or ectopic tubular pregnancies.

Untreated Chlamydia in men can cause discharge from the tip of the penis, a burning feeling during urination, or Epididymitis, which is an inflammation of the coil tubes in the back of the testicles.  This can result in testicular swelling, pain, and also yes, can even cause infertility too.

In 2016 is when NH had an outbreak of Gonorrhea showing that the number of cases became significantly higher by 250% in just one year and remained actively working to identify individuals who have been exposed.  According to the CDC, Gonorrhea is the second most common reported STD in the United States.

In 2017, NH reported that 15% of individuals diagnosed with Gonorrhea did not initially receive the correct treatment.  Treatment of Gonorrhea needs to include 2 different antibiotic to prevent the emergence of antibiotic resistance.  The CDC listed gonorrhea as one of the top 3 national antibiotic resist threats because of the propensity of Neisseria Gonorrhea to develop a resistance to antibiotics.

One of NH's responses to the STD outbreaks was May 9, 2017, with NH law RSA 141-C:15-a - The practice of EPT- Expedited Partner Therapy is explicitly legal and allowable according to NH.  EPT refers to a healthcare provider who gives their STD infected patient additional antibiotics or an additional antibiotic prescription to now give to the patients partner also, so they can be treated without the provider ever needing to examine the partner first.  However there are parents who don't agree, and feel that the state is being reckless by irresponsibly enabling and detouring many young adults from responsibly seeking their own providers for a diagnoses and treatment so as to always establish and have a proper medical history record on file, that could very well save their life one day.

ALERT: NH AT 'HIGH RISK' OF UNCONTROLLED
HIV, HEPATITIS C DUE TO IV DRUG USE
NH Department of Health and Human Services
Government Health and Wellness
May 18, 2018

"CONCORD, NH – The state’s Public Health Division  on Wednesday issued an alert to care providers around the state describing a notable increase in the number of new HIV and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) cases in Hillsborough County.

Of recent concern, NH DPHS has been investigating a report of a homeless individual in Manchester who shares injection drug equipment, and has been diagnosed with acute HIV infection with a very high HIV viral load, which increases risk of transmission.

The alert was issued to physicians, health care providers, hospitals and health clinics.

New Hampshire’s annual number of new HIV cases has been stable (approximately 30-40 cases per year); however, Hillsborough County is experiencing a significant increase in the number of new HIV cases among those who report injection drug use as a risk factor.
  • From January 1, 2017, through April 30, 2018, there were already 46 NH residents newly diagnosed with HIV.
  • Of the 46 individuals, 11 (24 percent) reported injection drug use, a majority of whom lived in Hillsborough County at the time of their diagnosis.
Symptoms of Hepatitis C, according to the CDC, include:
  • Fever
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal pain
  • Dark urine
  • Clay-colored bowel movements
  • Joint pain
  • Jaundice (yellow color in the skin or eyes)
DPHS is continuing to investigate and identify contacts who may be at risk. HCV infection is also a major risk for individuals who inject or use intranasal drugs. New diagnoses of HCV infection were made provider reportable to the NH DPHS in 2016. Of all the new diagnoses of HCV infection in New Hampshire residents from November 1, 2016 to present, 85 percent reported ever injecting drugs (current or former), and almost 65 percent report current injection drug use as a risk factor.

Because new diagnoses of HCV infection are only reported to the NH DPHS by providers (no laboratory reporting of positive test results is performed), there has been significant underreporting of new HCV infections. We are asking providers, both primary and referral providers, to report new cases of HCV infection to the NH DPHS using the appropriate case report form.

Key Points and Recommendations for providers
  • New Hampshire is at high risk of uncontrolled HIV and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission due to the opioid epidemic and injection drug use.
  • Providers should screen all patients who present to clinical care (regardless of the primary purpose of the visit) for substance use disorder, especially injection drug use.
  • Individuals who have a history of substance misuse (especially injection drug use) should be tested for HIV and HCV.
  • There have been multiple state outbreaks of hepatitis A virus infection associated with individuals who are homeless and individuals who use injection and non-injection drugs. All health care providers should assess for hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) immunity in these higher risk patients and provide vaccination if not immune.
  • All new diagnoses of HIV and HCV should be reported to the New Hampshire Division of Public Health Services (NH DPHS), including preliminary positive or rapid-reactive HIV and HCV results, by utilizing the appropriate forms.
  • If a provider (primary or referral provider) is unsure if a new HIV or HCV case has been reported to NH DPHS, please err on the side of re-reporting. NH DPHS does not receive laboratory reports for positive HCV tests, and relies on provider reporting of new HCV diagnosis for accurate counts." 
Another major issue is the one fact that while all this is happening, New Hampshire felt the sudden reckless need to decriminalize Adultery altogether back on January 1, 2015.  Then coincidentally just several months later, the Ashley Madison's, " Life Is Good, Have An Affair" website breach pops up, now publicly shaming and divulging close to 60,000 New Hampshire members on their website that was hacked and divulged to the rest of the world.  

"Avid Life said that reports of its imminent demise were "greatly exaggerated," and cheaters continued to use the site more than ever -- even though 32 million of its members' identities were revealed in the massive data breach.

The hack was bad enough, but the information revealed as part of the breach was pretty damning for the company. The list of names appeared to show that upwards of 95% of Ashley Madison's members were men.  that were on the website at the time of the hack."

This was anything but a resolution to a clear existing age old problem.  So we really don't need to look very far to find out why its happening or who is dong it now do we.  NH judges can clearly no longer claim, "there's no evidence of adultery here!"   

NH ALSO STILL CONTINUES WITH PROBLEMS WITH PUBLIC DRINKING WATER AND PRIVATE WELLS - THAT REMAIN QUESTIONABLY SAFE

According to the American Cancer Society's Cancer Statistic Center there will be another estimated 8,080 new cancer cases in New Hampshire with an estimated 2,810 deaths statewide in 2018.

CANCER CLUSTER THREATENS 10 NH SEACOAST TOWNS

In February 2014, a cancer cluster within the NH 10 towns Seacoast area involved two rare pediatric cancers that killed several seacoast children, that were identified and confirmed by the state Department of Health and human Services. 

In 2016, it was also determined by the Department of Health and Human Services officials that there was a small cancer cluster of rhabdomyosarcoma, or RMS.  While looking at the RMS cases, the state also identified “a small excess of pediatric lung cancer cases,” all of which “were of a single rare type called pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB).”

In 2017, no common exposures were found linking the cancers according to DHS.  "State Epidemiologist Benjamin Chan acknowledged there were seven brain or central nervous system pediatric cancers detected in the towns of Rye, New Castle, Portsmouth, Greenland and North Hampton during a period when they expected to see 3.1. He determined this did not represent another cancer cluster because the cancers were different types of brain cancers."


Dr. Tom Sherman, a former state representative from Rye who chaired the Seacoast Pediatric Cancer Cluster formed by then-Gov. Maggie Hassan said he believes, “it’s a complete mistake to feel terribly reassured by anything we’ve learned so far.”  Many NH parents of children diagnosed with cancer strongly believe there may be an unknown environmental cause that is triggering the illness.  “The lack of knowledge does not equate to safety,” Sherman said.   

Research was done by the task force committee that was established by then-Governor Maggie Hassan.  Contamination was found leaching from a 27-acre Superfund cleanup site in North Hampton and Greenland, named Coakley Landfill, which raised serious concerns by the task force.

"Tests done on wells at the landfill have found PFAS chemicals and 1,4-dioxane - both suspected carcinogens - at levels above the Environmental Protection Agency’s health advisory levels. PFAS chemicals in Berry’s Brook at the edge of the dump tested dramatically higher than the EPA’s health advisory levels.

State Rep. Mindi Messmer, D-Rye, who chaired a subcommittee on the landfill, noted during a recent interview that the Coakley landfill “lies geographically right smack in the middle of this cancer cluster.”


Nearby residential wells and wells at golf courses have pulled the water from under the landfill’s cap, Messmer said.


“We found that these PFCs were contaminating the water in the landfill and migrating into other areas in the towns of North Hampton, Hampton, Rye and Greenland,” Messmer said. “That’s why we’re investigating it.”


Studies on PFAS chemicals have determined they could also cause low birth weights, harm a child’s development and increase cholesterol, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry."


"Messmer said she’s learned about four cases of adult RMS in the Rye area. “That’s highly unusually that adults will get RMS,” she said.   She’s also learned about two adult onset cases of RMS in Merrimack."



  
CANCER CLUSTER THREATENS ANDOVER, NH

In 2014, there was an analysis done on a potential cancer cluster concern in Andover, NH that was "prepared by GM Monawar Hasain MD PHD, The NH Department of Human and Health Services, Data Management, and NH State Cancer Registry."


It stated that The NH State Cancer Registry received a perceived elevated cancer incidence concern for Andover NH on August 1, 2012.  The report stated, "After Discussion with individuals reporting the concern, it was determined that the concern did not meet the base criteria to initiate a cancer cluster investigation and no specific environmental exposures could be identified (though general concerns regarding community water system was expressed).  Therefore a formal detailed cancer cluster investigation was not initiated...Additionally, after review of the water quality data, we found no evidence of regulatory violations in the community water system serving Andover Village."

The analysis also reported that, "It has been further estimated that there are approximately 72,000 persons living in NH (2014) with cancer.  Overall in NH, cancer incidences and mortality has been decreasing over the last several years."  However, according to the American Cancer Society there would be an estimated 41,570 new cancer cases in NH between 2011-2015.  But according to the  CDC, they were actually only 40,032 new cases in NH during the same time period.  


The Estimated Number Of (All Cancer Sites) New Cancer Cases In NH Per Year 
Reported By The American Cancer Society are shown below

  2011                       8,210                                  2017                            8,670

For a 12 year period alone there was an estimated total of 95,030 new cancer cases estimated in NH by the American Cancer Society.  It was also reported that NH's total of new cancer cases had already reached 72,000 by 2014.

CANCER CLUSTER IN MERRMACK, NH

Another cancer incident has now also been reported for Merrimack, NH in January 2018.  The report  stated,  "In February 2016 low levels of PFOA, approximately 30 parts per trillion (ppt), were found in tap water supplied by the Merrimack Village District (MVD) public water system. A subsequent investigation into environmental contamination surrounding the Saint-Gobain plant led to findings of drinking water contamination in private and public water supply wells in the surrounding communities. The current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (US EPA) lifetime Health Advisory for PFOA levels in drinking water is for PFOA and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) levels combined to not exceed 70 ppt in drinking water (U.S. EPA 2016a). To date, levels of PFOA and PFOS combined in Key Findings.

"The Saint-Gobain plant has been operational since the 1980’s. It is not possible to know when contamination of the public drinking water supply began, or the past levels of contamination. Preliminary results of the NH DHHS MVD Community Exposure Assessment have shown that out of the 217 randomly selected residents on the MVD public water system who had their blood tested for various PFCs, only PFOA was found at higher levels than typically seen in the general U.S. population. This is consistent with the existence of a known source of PFOA exposure through drinking water ingestion." 

"In February 2016 low levels of PFOA were detected in the Merrimack Valley District public water supply. Some studies have found associations between PFOA and certain types of cancer.  More research is needed to determine whether PFOA causes cancer and what types of cancers it may cause.  Cancers associated with PFOA were not found to be higher in Merrimack.  The DHHS will continue to monitor rates of cancer in Merrimack NH."

"There have been two studies on the same Greenland Inuit population which found some associations between PFOA and breast cancer. The first study of Greenlandic Inuit women found that women with breast cancer had a higher PFOA level than women without breast cancer, but this difference was not statistically significant when other exposures that could potentially cause cancer were taken into account (Bonefeld-Jorgensen et al. 2011)."

"A follow-up study on the same population of Greenlandic Inuit women found some associations between breast cancer and higher blood levels of some PFCs, including PFOA (Wielsøe1 et al. 2017). Despite these two studies, multiple other studies of PFOA workers exposed to high levels of PFOA (Gilliand and Mandel 1993; Leonard et al. 2008; Lundin et al. 2009; Steenland and Woskie 2012; Raleigh et al. 2014) and communities exposed to lower levels have found no connection between PFOA and breast cancer (Vieira et al. 2013; Barry et al. 2013; BonefeldJorgensen et al. 2014).  There is very limited or no evidence for PFOA being connected with any other cancer." 

Between 2005 to 2014 Merrimack NH had a population between 25,604 to 26,660 people.    Within a 9 year period, 1,331 people were diagnosed with cancer just in Merrimack, NH alone.

as of 2018, NH is now the No. 2  state with the highest rate of breast cancer in the country. but has also yet again, define the source of cause and why its happening.

Reported on March 9, 2016, "Weitz and Luxenberg and Erin Brockovich broadened their investigation into regional water contamination, announcing they will begin looking into the recent detection of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in the local drinking water of Merrimack, NH. The announcement comes after the consumer advocate and law firm started similar investigations in New York and Vermont.


“Almost every week a new community learns its drinking water is no longer safe,” said Erin Brockovich. “We have to put an end to this crisis, step up our investment into vital infrastructure and see a greater enforcement of the Safe Drinking Water Act.”


Representatives from the company Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics recently notified the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services that PFOA was detected in water samples taken from four water faucets within its Merrimack facility, which is served by the Merrimack Village District Water System. Chronic PFOA exposure has been linked to testicular cancer, kidney cancer, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis and pregnancy-induced hypertension. Studies suggest other health consequences include a possible connection to pancreatic cancer.


“It is tragic to see yet another community impacted by PFOA contamination,” said Robin Greenwald, head of the Environmental and Consumer Protection Unit at Weitz and Luxenberg. “We have decided to expand the scope of our drinking water investigation to understand the health risks to residents of Merrimack and provide the community with robust legal options. And, once again, as in Hoosick Falls, NY, St. Gobain appears to be the entity responsible for the contamination.”


Ms. Brockovich and Weitz and Luxenberg recently filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Corp. and Honeywell International Inc. on behalf of Hoosick Falls, NY residents who have been drinking water contaminated by PFOA. The case was filed after local residents reported falling ill after drinking and cooking with this water.


In addition, Ms. Brockovich and Weitz and Luxenberg recently announced an investigation into suspected causes and consequences of PFOA water contamination affecting Petersburgh, NY, and North Bennington, VT."

As Governor, Chris Sununu once said in his February 15, 2018 State Of The State Address:


"As we look back on this past year and recognize our milestones and achievements, we cannot lose sight of New Hampshire's future."

But please lets not forget the homeless crisis, opioid addiction crisis, the lack of mental healthcare crisis that is has been a domino ending in increased suicide crisis's for the past 3 decades now, which is another whole saga and chapter in NH.  

To truly show how consciencous NH government really pays attention towards the state's problems, while in serious crisis mode, NH even attempted on 3 different occasions to vote to lower the drinking age to 18 while during all of these crisis's.  Not just only once, not even just twice, but 3 times and thankfully by the grace of god failed. NH continues to have multiple addiction crisis plans and mental healthcare plans one right after another that quickly tend to all fail early on in the process.

In 2006, NH came up with another poor plan to end homelessness.  This one was titled the "ten year plan to end homelessness in NH," that drastically once again began to fail just 2 years into it.  In 2008, the Manchester 10 year plan defined 1,500 as homeless, for which 400 were children.  Then 10 years later over 1,700 people had to be treated by the city of  Manchester's $1.5 million healthcare program for the homeless.  "Elissa Margolin of Housing Action NH contends that the state needs to do more to increase the supply of affordable housing."

"According to Margolin, Vermont has bonded $35 million in addition to another $10 million a year later.  Maine bonded $50 million in 2010, and every year had committed between $6 million and $12 million to affordable housing. And Massachusetts bonded $1 billion over 5 years. "We (NH) came in with the chamber of commerce and asked for $25 million and got $2.5 million." 

When you become a state well known through the united States Justice Department for  continuing to very poorly rob peter to pay paul, just to continually keep running from bill collectors, for continually making broken promises, only while breaking more than just one law in the process; exactly what else would the final outcome be to the domino games NH continues to play?

Just FYI: NH state law does require municipalities to help people who are destitute.  Including those who are otherwise unable to obtain shelter. However while the NH Supreme Court recklessly continues to write, inflict and enforce rules that continue to break NH state laws, then you can surely most certainly not expect, anything less or better from the rest of NH's government.
