Thanks to one of our NH readers for bringing this to our attention:
"Here is a list of towns that rejected the resolution. This list does not include the 88 of New Hampshire’s 231 towns and all of New Hampshire’s 13 cities that refused to take the issue up. Alstead, Andover, Barrington, Bethlehem, Boscawen, Bow, Bradford, Brookfield, Brookline, Chesterfield, Colebrook, Deerfield, Easton, Franconia, Farmington, Gilsum, Goffstown, Groveton, Hebron, Hillsborough, Jackson, Kensington, Lee, Lincoln, Lisbon, Lyman, Marlborough, Meredith, Monroe, Newbury, Nelson, New Durham, New Hampton, New London, Northumberland, Ossipee, Plymouth, Rindge, Rye, Salisbury, Sharon, Shelburne, Sugar Hill, Westmoreland,Winchester, Wolfeboro, Washington."
So despite all the hullabaloo about the towns that have approved this measure, 101 cities and towns didn't even consider it, and another 47 have rejected it, bringing the total number of cities and towns refusing to pass the advisory gay marriage ban warrant to 64% of the state's total. And the total population represented is muchhigher, because it includes all 13 of the biggest cities in the state.
Funny how the numbers don't look so bad when you include the positive ones and not just the negative numbers, huh?
