Governor Lynch Current Events

The Governor of New Hampshire is busy, starting with calling out the pharmaceutical companies for trying to abandon the very people they have been helping the past several years in New Hampshire. Lynch contends the new Federal Prescription Drug Bill doesn't go far enough and the people these drug companies have been assisting are not much better off. The pharmaceutical companies contend the new bill relieves them of support while Lynch is saying the need was there before for these low income seniors and it remains. These companies can still do their good deeds and keep supporting the elder generation that is struggling to afford prescription medication. The governor states these companies have moral obligations citing this is "good public relations and business sense to continue assistance programs".

In other news, the Governor has proposed legislation for changing the school dropout rate to 18 yrs of age. His contention for the bill is to reduce the number of student drop-outs citing immaturity and the extra time in school will allow students to realize the benefits of a high school education that could provide jobs with increased pay, benefits and healthcare from improved job opportunities vs. A high school drop out.

The governor challenges the dropout rate is reflected towards crime. Looking into the future, Governor Lynch states "Education drives jobs" and develops a "Better workforce".

In recent news the governor received an award from the American Red Cross for Volunteer Excellence. The governor is recognized from his personal influence and caring during disasters in his home state. During Katrina he and his wife were some of the first to volunteer time to phone banks to raise money for the needy and displaced citizens.
