Stella Tremblay Resigns From New Hampshire Legislature
A New Hampshire state legislator who drew fire for claiming the Boston Marathon bombing was an inside job has resigned from office.
State Rep. Stella Tremblay (R-Auburn) sent a letter of resignation to House Speaker Terrie Norelli (D-Portsmouth) Thursday, just before lawmakers convened to pass the state budget, WMUR reports. The move comes a day after Tremblay emailed the entire 424-member legislature to reiterate her claims and suggest the need for more investigation into the April attacks.
An elected official resigns and breaks the commitment they had to the citizens...
that is nothing to celebrate if you respect the system of representation, it is something to celebrate if you consider politics something to win.
Also, don't you want lawmakers to propose alternative viewpoints to the commonly held perspective. Imagine if enough had questioned Bush's WMD's? or enough citizens (like you and me who did)?
I think they are quitters to, do not qualify for future office as a result.
I only disagreed with you celebrating a rep stepping down. They should be shamed, not celebrated for their action. It feels kinda like clapping when your dad brings home a big turkey he just stole from the grocer. Obviously it is going to be yummy, but it will be a bittersweet turkey.
