Outgoing NH gov wary of casinos, wants more UNH $
Saturday, December 8, 2012
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire's outgoing governor, John Lynch, is hoping the state will avoid a proliferation of casinos, and that the Legislature will devote more resources to the University of New Hampshire and act on health care reform after he leaves office.
Lynch, who will soon leave office after eight years, also tells the Portsmouth Herald (http://bit.ly/SG5zQf ) he plans to have "a very, very low political profile."
Lynch says he's proud that he could put partisan politics to one side and focus on solving problems.
He says his love of New Hampshire prompts him to urge the state not to bet on gambling, and that he's concerned about the impact on its brand as a state.
He wants the Legislature to restore funding to UNH, saying the average debt load is excessive.
