-Caveat Lector- ** Candidates are to get bill for expenses state incurs, Shaheen says By JOHN TOOLE State House Bureau CONCORD — Gov. Jeanne Shaheen has ordered state agencies to charge political campaigns for expenses from the use of state facilities. Shaheen issued the order Friday, after The Union Leader reported that New Hampshire Community Technical College in Stratham spent $4,848 on air conditioning during a visit by Vice President Al Gore last month. "When it came to our attention that someone in control of a state building had made a unilateral decision to incur a state expense, we thought it was appropriate to remind people what was appropriate in terms of political campaigns," Shaheen press secretary Brian Murphy said yesterday. ---------<snip>-------------- "Allowing Presidential candidates to use our public buildings to meet with New Hampshire voters is an appropriate way to promote citizen involvement in the Presidential primary," Shaheen wrote. ------------<snip> "There is no question, though, that Al Gore is the vice president, and that left us in a gray area," Westover said. "It would be a different decision today, as he has emerged more clearly as a candidate." ----------<snip>----------- "Obviously Gov. Shaheen agrees with the Republican Party and believes the New Hampshire Community Technical College expenses on behalf of the Gore campaign were inappropriate and should never have happened," state GOP executive director Jayne Marcucci said yesterday. "Certainly I hope this means Gov. Shaheen will pursue full reimbursement from the Gore campaign," Marcucci said. The Gore campaign has declined to comment on the issue. ** FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
