Dear Granite Stater,
Ray, the Supervisor at Dover's water treatment facility, showed me around this week. I always enjoy a trip to the Seacoast region, especially when I can help Granite Staters overcome economic and regulatory issues that affect our daily lives.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A project to improve Portsmouth Harbor received long-awaited authorization in the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2016, which passed the House of Representatives yesterday.
MANCHESTER, NH – The Environmental Protection Agency’s “MS4” Permit could cost taxpayers in southern New Hampshire hundreds of thousands of dollars, even millions, over the next few years. Locations potentially subject to new fees and penalties include 62 from Manchester to Plaistow, Portsmouth and Rochester.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House Financial Services Committee has released details of its Financial CHOICE Act, a package of bills to overturn 2010’s Dodd-Frank financial reform that has hamstrung the U.S. economy, said Rep. Guinta, whose Credit Union Examination Reform Act and Indirect Auto Financing Guidance Act are features of the major legislation.
Whether they meet with me at the capital in Washington, D.C., or a Granite State roundtable, members of the New Hampshire Auto Dealers Association usually have one thing on their minds: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Currently, auto dealers can negotiate lower rates and fees with lending companies, in order to offer customers the best possible deals. A competitive market benefits most buyers. However, the CFPB claims that dealers’ flexibility to offer low financing rates disproportionately harms minorities.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, Kinder Morgan, the energy company that had proposed a natural gas pipeline through New Hampshire’s First District, announced it is suspending plans to build the Northeast Energy Direct (NED) project, after failing to generate interest among gas suppliers and encountering opposition from Granite Staters along the proposed route. During the public approval process, Congressman Frank Guinta pushed the company to answer his constituents’ concerns about the pipeline’s potential economic and environmental effects.
He issued the following statement today:
MANCHESTER, NH – Congressman Frank Guinta released the following statement upon the passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Frank Guinta today voted for the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, Congress’ first long-term transportation funding bill in nearly a decade. The bill solves a series of short-term funding patches and would direct $875 million over the next five years to Granite State infrastructure projects.
Manchester’s former two-term mayor called the FAST Act “a gigantic win for bipartisan House and Senate cooperation, reliable transportation and local economic development.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Frank Guinta’s legislation to protect car buyers from higher loan rates received significant bipartisan support in the House of Representatives today. “I’m happy that both Democrats and Republicans have rallied around my bill, which would help qualified car buyers to purchase vehicles,” he said, announcing passage of his CFPB Indirect Auto Financing Guidance Act, H.R. 1737.
