was being challenged as unconstitutional and was not favored by the majority of citizens. On May 13, the bill passed the New Hampshire House on a vote of 182 In Favor and 121 Opposed. (Delegation vote below). As this proposal was grafted onto a Senate Bill as a non-germane amendment, the bill now moves back to the Senate for concurrence.

SB 450 - A bill to close the budget deficit.
Analysis: New Hampshire faces an estimated $300 million budget deficit. While there were some cuts, this bill proposed to close that budget gap primarily by increased taxes ($25 million) on non-cigarette tobacco products, marriage licenses, copies of birth certificates, insurance premiums, electricity generation and estates over $2 million. The bill also proposed to bond some $65 million in operating expenses. A part of the bill that incensed the opponents of the increased taxes was the inclusion of a provision to repeal

the LLC tax in this bill, thus forcing those who opposed increasing taxes to vote against repealing the LLC tax. Proponents of the bill beat back 12 amendments to remove taxes or tax increases plus rejected an attempt to divide the question and vote on repealing the LLC tax separately from the vote on the remainder of the bill. On May 12, after seven hours of debate, the final bill passed 182 voting In Favor and 173 Opposed. (Delegation vote listed below). The next day the Senate Finance Committee voted unanimously to recommend the full Senate kill SB 450.

Great New Hampshire Restaurants, parent company of T-BONES
Great American Eatery, has announced a jingle contest that will award five $1,000 prizes. Their “Made-From-Scratch Jingle Contest” allows anyone to enter in one of four categories: Hip- Hop, Rock, Country, and Pop. There will be one winner in each of the categories, and each winner will receive a $1,000 cash prize. Entries will be submitted through the T-BONES Website: www.T-
BONES.com, which provides all the rules and guidelines for entries. Participants can enter either a video or audio version of their jingle creation. All are invited to visit the Website to view, listen, and vote for their favorite. The People’s Choice winner will receive a $1,000 cash prize. Entries must be submitted by Sunday, June 27. Voting for the People’s Choice winner will start on Monday, June 28, and end on Saturday, July 31. Winners will be announced on Saturday, August 6. While T-BONES already has a very recognizable jingle that has been heard on just about every radio station in New Hampshire, as well as television, Websites, and even during Fisher Cat promotions, the time was right for this fun “open-call” to all the creative talent that exists. With the trend of the top reality television shows focusing on the musical talent of “unknowns” all over the country, such as American Idol and America’s Got Talent, and the staggering number of listeners/viewers that get involved by voting for their favorite talent, Tom Boucher, owner and CEO of the popular T- BONES and Cactus Jack’s, loved the idea of reaching out to the community in this manner: “We constantly hear such great feedback from our customers about why they love our restaurants that we thought this would be a great way to let them express their feelings about us in this unique and fun way.” The current jingle can be heard on the Website, along with complete rules and guidelines for jingle entries, which cannot exceed 60 seconds in length. Since Boucher feels that his restaurants’ key to success is their ability to provide a huge, made- from-scratch menu, the jingle entries must include these words: “T- BONES ... come on in, your table’s waiting. We’re serving up a taste of whatever you’re craving. T-BONES, always made from scratch.” For more information on the “Made-From-Scratch” Jingle Contest, visit
