He used these funds for personal expenses but paid no income taxes. A fellow Republican legislator is calling for his resignation. He is expected to keep his post as Speaker of the House.
Ballot Access
from "Party Hacks", Aug. 20 2004, InTheseTimes.org spells out GOP dirty tricks
In New Hampshire, Republicans have made a pastime of resisting young voters in college towns. Students in the university town of Durham turned out to vote in 2002, only to receive a handout from election proctors laced with scare tactics, including the warning that they could jeopardize their financial aid by voting at an address other than their permanent home.
The strategy successfully diminished turnout, and Democrats felt the sting. The GOP took full control of state government, rolling from parity in the state senate to a rollicking 18-to-6 majority. In the next session on strict party-line votes, they promptly pushed through a sweeping bill to limit access to voting and toughen sanctions for fraud.
This spring, the state’s Republican House Speaker Gene Chandler put a razor-fine point on the motives behind the law. “It is simply not right to allow college students to have an say in our elections in New Hampshire,” he told a public forum. “We need to control that.”
