Governor Lynch believes that pardon hearings should only be granted in extraordinary circumstances, not as a substitute for the legal system. A pardon hearing would essentially involve retrying this case 15 years later, which would be unfair to the victim, difficult to administer and not the role of a pardon hearing. |
Governor Lynch thinks the cuts are unfortunate, but it is a decision that belongs to the University of New Hampshire and the university system. |
He believes that we should focus our limited resources on our public schools. He also believes the legislation raises questions about potential conflicts with New Hampshire's Constitution in terms of sending public money to religious institutions. |
He certainly understands their concerns. The cuts are unfortunate. However, this is an issue for the university system. |
He's been very adamant that he wants to work in a bipartisan way, and he has no intention of changing that just because it's an election year. The Legislature approached last year that way, for the most part, and (Lynch) hopes they continue to do that this year. |
The attorney general is going to look at it and the governor wants to get her opinion as to whether this could affect the master settlement agreement. |
Unfortunately, there are always people trying to hack into computer systems, but New Hampshire is always making sure it's taking action to keep the system secure. |
Who is the program supposed to benefit, insurance companies or seniors? This is a big decision and seniors should have the time necessary to make the right decision for them. |
