Will Trump Shut Down State and International Regional Councils?

As you know, GSF(s) often posts videos created by California resident Gary Gileno (‘grindall61’) because his presentations about regional councils and commissions in that state are just as relevant to what is going on in New Hampshire and every other state in the USA.

Northern Regional Commission

We often write about NH’s 9 STATE Regional Planning Commissions, but if those are unknown to most, even more obscure from the public view is the 10th Regional Commission that crosses over into Canada. This Commission is called the “Northern Border Regional Commission“. It bills itself as “A new Federal-State partnership for economic and community development within the most distressed counties of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York.”

It is in fact yet another enforcer of the federal-international agenda to urbanize America and consolidate political divisions, leaving local control out of the mix. This includes every aspect of our lives, including education as can be seen in the last item (2017) on this PDF file.

According to the Washington Post, as pointed out in the video, the president is considering defunding these agencies.

The Post claims that “In his budget outline for 2018 unveiled Thursday, none of the rural development agencies — the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Delta Regional Authority, the Northern Border Regional Commission — would receive any money. In effect, it would eliminate these programs, which are completely subsidized by the federal government.”

Remember, federal money means federal interference, and federal interference means loss of local control.

Whether it will actually happen remains to be seen. Meanwhile, please watch the video from ‘grindall61’ and note the similarities in our NH RPCs to the groups from CA.
