CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – A New Hampshire notable organization has recorded public service announcements to let citizens know they can vote for absentees in the state’s general election and number one, the coronavirus pandemic.
Filmmaker Ken Burns, comedian Seth Meyers and the Granite State Challenge present Jon Cannon’s broadcast messages. InArray Republican Judd Gregg, former U.S. governor and governor, and Democrat John Lynch, former governor, come together to inspire others to vote.
“I am well aware of the benefits of coming from a state with the highest voter turnout, as I was elected treasurer of Manchester West High Class of 92, a task I carried out with such bratty incompetence that our pedapasado adviser advised, or insisted, that it should happen in comedy,” Meyers said in his publication.
“NH Votes Safe” classified ads emphasize that citizens can make a stop on the state secretariat’s online page in sos.nh.gov to be more informed about how to get a survey by mail or to register by mail. They can also make a stopover on the online page of the city clerk or your city. Keep in mind the messages that citizens who still plan to vote at the ballot box wear masks and expect adjustments in social distance and security.

BUS WITH PROPANO
The city of Manchester, New Hampshire, is replacing old school buses with 14 propane buses to improve air quality.
The city has a total of 81 school buses. Officials say evidence shows that propane buses can generate 96% diesel bus emissions, New Hampshire public radio reported.
Manchester Transit Authority chief executive Mike Whitten said the city had paid for buses with more than $1.5 million of state relief from a Volkswagen emissions handling agreement. He said the common cash fund still had about $9 million for electric school bus projects.
Jessica Wilcox of the Department of Environmental Services said recently that no one applied to use that money in the first round of grants.
“We have time now to see how to combine anything to move New Hampshire forward in that regard,” Wilcox said. “With COVID-19 in fact a pandemic breathing here in our country, this is the most productive time for zero-emissions features for New Hampshire.”
