CONCORD – A change in the political winds hasn’t deterred at least one state legislator from fighting against the United Nations’ environmental agenda.
Despite long odds in the new Democratic-controlled House of Representatives, Rep. Lenette Peterson, R-Merrimack, has taken on the charge against Agenda 21, the U.N.’s nonbinding sustainable development platform.
Legislation proposing to ban the implementation of the agenda passed the Republican-led House earlier this year but fell short in the Senate. With a new Democratic majority in the House, a similar bill, introduced by Peterson, isn’t likely to get off the ground, she acknowledged.
Still, the agenda, which promotes sustainable land use planning, demands further scrutiny, as it continues to threaten private property rights, pushing residents to move into cities, Peterson said.
“In the long run, gas will be rationed. … You don’t need as much gas because everybody lives inside of city limits,” she said.![]()
