PRO-LIFERS FOR FRANK.

While the 1st District U.S. House campaign, like all the others, has been and will be focused on the economy and fiscal issues, Republican Frank Guinta is out of the gate on the social front.

Guinta today will release about 50 names of a new Family Life Coalition.

A sampling includes former Manchester Mayor Emile Beaulieu, state Reps. Dan Itse and Will Smith, former Rep. Sylvia Holley, Epping selectman Dianne Gilbert, Cornerstone Policy Research chair Shannon McGinley and conservative activists Shauna Amick, Ellen Kolb, Ronnie Schlender and Siobhan Tautkus.

Frank Guinta is unrealistic about taxes!

WELFARE COMMISSIONER Paul Martineau has gone on record criticizing former Mayor Frank Guinta before, but never as harshly as he did in an interview last week.

"I told somebody, I said, 'Hey, you know what? Gatsas in three months has done more than Guinta did in four years,'" Martineau told us.

The question had nothing to do with Guinta. In fact, we had just finished asking Martineau about Gatsas' budget proposal, which cuts $17,000 from the Welfare Department, and were getting ready to hang up when he started talking about the former mayor.

He contrasted Gatsas' proposal -- a realistic, responsible budget, according to Martineau -- with the ones Guinta proposed during his four-year tenure in the corner office. In four years, Guinta never proposed a tax increase.

In three of those years, the aldermen ended up raising taxes.

"Frank would let the aldermen hang," Martineau said. "He would throw it to the aldermen: 'Well, if there's a tax increase, it's their fault.' He wasn't realistic."

Martineau is a Democrat. He clashed with Guinta -- who like Gatsas, is a Republican -- last year, accusing the mayor of trying to cut the welfare budget without consulting him.
