| primary Return to index of stories... |
PA. First in the Nation? One senior Kerry for President staffer in Pennsylvania has dangled the ultimate motivational carrot in front of Gov. Edward Rendell -- a wink-and-nod that if Rendell really cranks up his political machine even a notch higher than he already has, a Kerry-controlled Democratic National Committee could give Rendell his wish: the elimination of New Hampshire's status as the first-in-the-nation primary state. A Democratic insider told PoliticsPA that the 60-year-old Rendell understands that a Kerry victory would likely end the Governor's presidential ambitions. Kerry would run for re-election in 2008 and Edwards, as Vice President, would be the likely front-runner in 2012. Rendell has been on the record of his hatred of the status quo and even told NH Dems he wanted to scrap the Granite State's status while in Manchester. |

Back -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article published Oct 14, 2004 Broker in illegal commissions case loses license CONCORD - An insurance broker who passed on $187,000 in illegal commission payments to a volunteer aide of Gov. Craig Benson agreed Wednesday to a one-year suspension of his license. Dennis French, president of NiBri Benefit Services of Candia, said he gave payments to Linda Pepin to negotiate health and dental insurance contracts for existing and retired state workers even though Pepin wasn’t licensed to do the work. The payments were made in hopes that Pepin’s private company, AlphaDirections Inc. of Portsmouth, would steer work to French’s company, French had told investigators. A state insurance hearing officer fined Pepin $42,500 for accepting the payments. Pepin is appealing that ruling to the state Supreme Court. The suspension of French’s license was over state charges that, during hearings last April into Pepin’s conduct, French lied under oath about whether he had spoken to former Benson Personnel Director Joseph D’Alessandro about the arrangement before it began in March 2003. French denied he was untruthful but had failed to recall incidents and statements he had written that were a year old until state investigators showed them to him. For the purposes of resolving this mater, French agreed to the one-year suspension of his license, and the state dismissed all remaining charges against him. Meanwhile, Insurance lawyer Leslie Ludtke warned French in a letter Wednesday not to try to do business under his wife’s license. “The Department recently received a call from a business inquiring as to the status of Dennis French’s license. Apparently, Dennis French represented to this business that he could continue to provide brokerage services under his wife’s license,” Ludtke wrote. “The Department will not tolerate this conduct.” If French persists, the agency will move for permanent revocation of his license, Ludtke said. The suspension does not affect French’s company, which remains the state’s insurance broker of record for Delta Dental and Cigna Healthcare. The attorney general’s office has sued Pepin to try to recover all the $187,000 in fees that were paid to her. Pepin served as Benson’s human resources director when Benson was chief executive officer of the now-defunct Cabletron Systems Corp. of Rochester. D’Alessandro had worked under Pepin at Cabletron. After winning election in 2002, Benson named Pepin and another former Cabletron executive, Raymond Marshall, to help state administrators negotiate a contract with the State Employees Association. No contract was ever reached, but D’Alessandro designated Pepin to negotiate the purchase of health and dental insurance and convert the state to a self-insurance program. Benson fired Pepin as a volunteer the day that media outlets reported she had been getting commission payments. D’Alessandro stepped down in March on the same day an investigation by the attorney general concluded that he broke the state’s ethical code and should be fired. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © 2003, Telegraph Publishing Company, Nashua, New Hampshire |

The Republican Governors’ Association says they plan to run television advertisements beginning today in support of Gov. Craig Benson’s re-election campaign defying a “cease and desist” order issued to them late Friday by the state’s Attorney General’s office. ==== The new ads by the Republican Gubernatorial Association against Democrat John Lynch have been ordered removed from the air pending the results of a hearing Thursday morning. The ads began airing Saturday on WMUR and cable channels in the state. Late Friday afternoon the state Attorney General's office sent a "cease and desist" letter to the RGA just hours before the ads began airing. GOPgroup is official after filing with state The Republican Governors Association, a Washington-based political committee, is now official in New Hampshire. The group ran into legal trouble over the weekend when it began airing commercials attacking Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Lynch. Those ads were illegal, the attorney general said last Friday, because the governors association was not registered as a political committee in New Hampshire. That problem was fixed yesterday, when the Republican Governors Association filed with the secretary of state's office. The group is now working on a second ad, according to spokesman Harvey Valentine. Valentine said the RGA doesn't plan to file its first public expense reports until Oct. 27. But that may be at odds with state law, which requires all political committees to submit updated reports sometime today. Valentine said the RGA doesn't have to file today since it was not a registered committee until yesterday. He said the group will file comprehensive reports on Oct. 27. DERRY, N.H. - Governor Craig Benson is hosting governors from Hawaii, Rhode Island and Ohio today. The four Republican governors are campaigning for the president today in Derry, where they will attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony. |

, prompting veteran state employees to leave in a "brain drain." Benson again accused Lynch of reverting to personal attacks and falsehoods, and said he is proud of his record as governor and businessman. Benson again accused Lynch of reverting to personal attacks and falsehoods, and said he is proud of his record as governor and businessman. Governor Craig Benson and Democrat John Lynch sparred tonight in Berlin about ethics and the environment, their business experience and the cost of medicine. Benson read a letter from a Clarksville resident, Donna Jordan, who thanked him for his Web site link to a pharmacy in Canada. She wrote she will have to take drugs for at least ten years because of breast cancer, and that without Benson's link, she would not have checked out prices in Canada. Through the link, she said she is paying about a fifth od what she'd be paying at home. He chastised Lynch for calling the link a gimmick, saying Lynch would take the option of cheaper medicine away from people like Jordan. Lynch said the drug link was a project that would take 10-to-15 minutes for a 14-year-old to install. BEDFORD, N.H. - Governor Craig Benson and Democrat John Lynch argued about health care costs during their first debate of the campaign this morning. =========== By KEVIN LANDRIGAN, Telegraph Staff landrigank@telegraph-nh.com Published: Thursday, Oct. 14, 2004 CONCORD - The campaign war chests of Gov. Craig Benson and Democratic challenger John Lynch look as close as they remain in the polls - neck and neck - according to reports filed with Secretary of State Bill Gardner’s office Wednesday. The biggest difference appears to be how much each has spent on paid advertising over the past three weeks to get their message out. Benson has spent $653,000, or about $209,000 a week; Lynch has spent a third less, $428,000, or about $143,000 a week. Benson loaning the campaign $710,000 while Lynch donated $500,000. Since the race began, Benson has contributed $1.4 million of his own money and Lynch $1.3 million. That means Benson has donated 54 percent of the $2.5 million he’s spent on politicking since becoming governor in January 2003, while Lynch has contributed 68 percent of the $1.9 million he’s spent since entering this race in May. Two years ago, Benson spent a record $11 million of his own money to win his first term. The political committees of Republican U.S. Sens. Judd Gregg and John Sununu and U.S. Rep. Charles Bass each gave Benson the maximum donation of $1,000. Others giving that much included the political action committee of the biggest owner of the Seabrook nuclear power plant, Florida Power and Light, the National Association of Broadcasters in Washington, D.C., Merrimack trucking firm owner Harold Foote, Amherst businessman Richard Kimball and the Williams & Jensen PAC, a committee of Washington-based lawyers. The state PAC of Democracy for America, a group founded by Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean, gave $1,000 to Lynch, as did Democratic National Chairman Terry McAuliffe, Amherst Republican state Rep. Paul Spiess, Concord lawyer Lucy Hodder, Dallas investor John Jaggers and the New Hampshire Trial Lawyers PAC. Executives with liquor distribution companies gave Lynch $5,500, while independent pharmacies and their PAC gave him another $2,800. Executives and family with one of the two firms handling Benson’s own private investments - Morgan Stanley - gave Benson $4,000. AD WATCH EDITOR’S NOTE: This is another in an occasional series of Ad Watch columns by political reporter Kevin Landrigan, examining the truthfulness of TV and radio advertisements in political campaigns. TITLE: “Bad Choices.” SPONSOR: New Hampshire Democratic Party. LENGTH: 30-second TV commercial. ANNOUNCER: “Craig Benson has made a lot of choices as governor. Did he invest to promote tourism, or spend taxpayer dollars on a high-priced image consultant to promote himself? Benson chose an image consultant and cut tourism. State troopers, or fat bonuses for his personal staff? Benson chose fat bonuses and cut state troopers. Wheelchair vans for seniors, or a new SUV for himself? Benson bought the SUV and cut wheelchair vans for seniors. Craig Benson: bad choices for New Hampshire.” ACCURACY: This ad levels a lot of charges in 30 seconds and as a result takes some shortcuts with the facts. Benson did cut $235,000 in tourism promotion money last spring in a final round of budget cuts before the budget year ended June 30. A short time prior to that, Benson hired Jack Heath, a former WMUR-TV news director who now does media marketing mostly for business clients, as a $5,000-a-month consultant. In response to criticism from party officials and the media, Benson last month moved Heath from the taxpayer payroll to his re-election campaign. As for state troopers, the budget Benson signed in September 2003 did not get rid of any troopers who were on the job. It did eliminate 16 vacant positions that Safety Commissioner Dick Flynn had been using to pay overtime and holiday pay for the existing work force. The Legislative Fiscal Committee subsequently restored nine of those positions, but with retirements offsetting some new hires, the force has only increased by three. Benson did pay bonuses of nearly $100,000 to his office staff over the first 18 months in office, the largest being $10,000 apiece to budget director Peter Yao and policy aide Keith Herman. Each received $20,000, but Benson claimed that was a clerical error and within several days both gave back the rest of the bonus. The returned money came after The Telegraph submitted a Right-to-Know Law request for all bonus money paid to Benson’s staff. At Benson’s request, the Department of Safety purchased a luxury Chevrolet Tahoe SUV for state office use, claiming his 6-foot-4-inch frame couldn’t get comfortable in the traditional state car, a Lincoln sedan. While Benson has been governor, there have been no cuts in transportation of poor seniors who were in wheelchairs. In February 2003, Benson had proposed in his budget eliminating this and several other services under Medicaid because the federal government doesn’t require that states supply them. The Legislature soundly rejected the idea. The ad fails to mention or acknowledge that Benson’s own budget was the smallest in 14 years and that he returned roughly $400,000 in unspent money. His staff was considerably smaller and was not paid any more than those working for governors here in the recent past – even with the bonuses. While former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen had a detail of three state troopers, Benson has only one. EFFECTIVENESS: In simple, easy-to-understand examples, the ad does succeed in trying to shatter Benson’s image as a change agent who doesn’t act like other politicians.
