CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch says he will name Deputy Attorney General Orville “Bud” Fitch to head a newly created Office of Economic Stimulus to coordinate the stimulus money New Hampshire could get from a federal rescue package.

Fitch would keep his position at the Attorney General’s Office while assuming the additional role.

The House this week passed a $819 billion economic rescue plan. The bill is now before the Senate.

Oh great. The same person who cannot do his job properly because he doesn’t know whether a sign is “political” or not and who refuses to prosecute voter fraud is now going to be in charge of doling out federal welfare? We are skeptical.
