First District congressional candidate Andy Martin will be
in Alton , NH
Tuesday night to help the local American Legion post avoid new zoning
regulations demanded by local officials. “President Trump is eliminating
unnecessary regulations at the federal level; we can’t be adding them back at
the local level,” Andy says. “I will carry President Trump’s message and policy
to Alton : do not enact unnecessary
regulatory burdens on a veteran’s lodge that is struggling financially and
poses no threat to the local community.” Andy calls local efforts to declare the
non-profit American Legion hall a commercial establishment ‘zoning
imperialism.’ “We fought a war to avoid being regulated unnecessarily,” Andy
continues. “In the Granite State
we will push back against illogical efforts to commercialize non-profit
organizations. This is the ‘Life Free or Die’ state.”

(MANCHESTER , NH )(June 19, 2018 ) When the
Town of Alton, New Hampshire Planning Board meets at 6:00 P.M. this evening First
District congressional candidate Andy Martin will be there to support the local
American Legion post in its efforts to avoid burdensome new zoning regulations.
Andy will be speaking during the public comments portion of the meeting.
“President
Trump promised to get America out from under Obama’s burdensome
regulations,” Andy says. “I want to be sure that we don’t enact at the local
level the same suffocating regulatory policies we are eliminating at the
national level.
“I
don’t know why or how a veterans’ organization can be considered a commercial
facility. The town’s interpretation of its zoning law is so expansive it could
endanger churches as well as veterans’ organizations across the state.
“In
essence, the town claims that when the American Legion purchased an existing
restaurant in 2001, to use as a post, that transfer triggered a change in
‘use.’ No it did not. The town also claims that if a non-profit organization
holds a ‘public’ event, the non-profit is turned into some sort of commercial
establishment. Tell that to the tens of thousands of churches and other
non-profits across the United States that hold functions where
tickets are available to the public. The regulatory overreach of the Planning Board
is breathtaking.
“Veterans’
organizations are struggling financially. Many younger veterans do not want to
‘join.’ American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) posts are mostly in
financially precarious condition. Demanding tens of thousands of dollars in new
regulatory compliance when these organizations purchase a new property smacks
of zoning imperialism.
“I
hope we can resolve matters amicably. But if the Planning Board persists in its
rather rigid approach, I can foresee a landmark lawsuit. The American Legion is
a federally chartered organization. If I am elected to congress, and the
controversy persists, I can foresee sponsoring legislation to ‘preempt’ local
regulation of veterans’ organizations properties,” Andy says. “I’m on the case,
there to defend our veterans. The post’s attorney is Chuck Douglas. I’m there
as a cheerleader and someone who support President’s Trump’s agenda at the
local level. I’m there to see that President Trump’s national deregulatory
principles are not undermined by local officials.”
