About the author (2005)

Former Speaker of the House Marshall Cobleigh is a legend in New Hampshire politics. A significant force in legislature reform, he modernized the New Hampshire House of Representatives. His straight shooting style made him extremely controversial, but unlike many of todays politicians, you always knew where Marshall stood. He also served as chief of staff for a congressman and in the General Services Administration in Washington. Marshall was the driving force and sponsor for important local legislation, such as that which created the technical-vocational school in Nashua, the Health Careers College in Concord, and the turnpike liquor stores in Nashua, Portsmouth, and Hooksett, that have raised substantial revenue to help the state finance unmet needs. He sponsored bills which became laws that mandated ramps on public buildings to assist the physically handicapped, provided free tuition for children of prisoners of the war in Asia, and controlled the sale of unsafe flammable fabrics with special emphasis on childrens nightwear. Cobleigh was a champion for the first in the nation status of the New Hampshire primary, which brings an estimated 300 million dollars in revenue with each run, and adds to the states public relations and promotion programs. He also sponsored legislation for an interstate compact for the cleanup of the Nashua River, and a Constitutional amendment providing for freedom of speech in the New Hampshire Bill of Rights, among many others.
