Reply to Will a temporary paper license get me through TSA? by zetterbeauty

There is an explainer on the DMV site you can print out also. I agree with the “get their early… bring your old one too” advice.

Maybe print this out & also take a secondary form of identification.

If you have a current passport, that would be all you would need.

Here is the dmv page.https://www.dmv.nh.gov/drivers-licensenon-driver-ids/temporary-paper-license

People do get paid mileage, potentially.

And like I said, had I known I would ever want the specifics, I would know what year that was. So don’t count on (literally) any specific cost adjustment by date. Like I said, I only remember $200 was the average monthly wage for a gentleman landowner & one month was all they needed to show up for. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️. This is second hand, people!!!!

You think federal gov’t makes people wealthy? Almost nobody.

There is the obvi, Members of Congress are already wealthy for the most part. Same for presidents. And people who can leave a gov job & make $.

But almost everyone else makes far less working at any gov’t job pays less than a comparable job elsewhere. Benefits are now only marginally better, weighting everything.

And like only CA has a wonderfully cush salary for legislators, but it is expense to live in many CA cities & towns. Same for NH.

Question for you, bc you raise an interesting point about alcoholism: have we done better with ending the stigma which people with substance use disorders (like alcohol & narcotics) face or the stigma people face if they have a diagnosis of bipolar, depression, anxiety and other affect disorders?

Awesome bc I agree with you!

Somebody I know who is freakishly into NH history told me (and forgive me, I cannot remember the specifics bc it never dawned on me I would want to tell this on Reddit) that the $200 pay (pre-tax!) State Reps get now is the same pay they got in like 1814 or whenever… more than 100 years for sure, prob over 150 years… anyway. Let’s say 1814 for the sake of argument…

So here is why they made $200 back in 1814 or whenever: at that time, $200 was the average monthly pay in NH, then an agrarian place. And…THE NH LEGISLATURE ONLY MET FOR ONE MONTH EVERY TWO YEARS!

They’ve chosen not to raise that pay - or lower the number of State Reps - because of loyalty to a falsehood. That’s why we have the oldest legislature. That’s why well-to-do people overrepresent the 30-40-50-60 year olds who do it - and why we keep electing “the youngest legislator in America.” Bc who would do this under these circumstances???

Geezus behavior caused by an untreated or inadequately treated mental illness is way different than physically assaulting woman. WTF! We need to give access to affordable care to everyone, end partner abuse and end all stigmas about mental illnesses. Seriously the brain is in the body AND we don’t have adequate care. Research the truth about our mental health system in NH. So inadequate.

Laws around voting and criminal records are evolving as we evolve. For example, in a state like Mississippi, where African Americans are almost 40% of the population, AND where application of justice is still fraught with systemic racism, people with drug convictions who served their time & did what society asked of them were unable to fully participate in society ever again. So, it is not completely true that people with felony convictions cannot vote in NH. https://www.felonyrecordhub.com/rights/new-hampshire/

In Stacy’s case, it sounds like her felony conviction essentially stems from behavior from her mental illness. You can disagree with me, but I think the American judicial system should not make felons out of people with a health condition… not saying bomb threats are cool, I am understanding that leniency in these cases - especially when we don’t give access to affordable healthcare to all Americans - we should take a look in the mirror as a society.

And with 400 volunteers in the NH House, what do you expect we’d have???
