Given that his alleged run for US Senate is going to be way late out of the blocks and his poll numbers are on a slide second only to Biden’s, Chris Sununu….“this is not a good look for someone that NEEDS NH Conservatarians to vote for him.”
It’s one thing to ignore us in a Primary – that won’t fly in a general election in what may well be one of the most contested (and expensive) political races in the country in 2022:
Wheeler said he objected to contract language that would commit New Hampshire to “assist the United States government in the implementation and enforcement of federal orders related to quarantine and isolation.”
He read that to mean that by taking the federal money, New Hampshire officials would have to enforce any future vaccine mandates from the Biden administration.
Sidenote: Given his waffling about when his decision to run will come, he’s starting to sound like his older bruddah John E Sununu whom I took to task for being lackadaisical in starting up his campaign as an incumbent while Jeanne Shaheen had been doing so for months. She cleaned his clock.
Is Sununu about to get his polished as Maggie “The Red” Hassan already has had TV ads up aimed at changing her persona – such that looking into her mirror, the Wick Witch of the West is no longer staring back at her? At least in the voter’s eyes? Why are ALL of the NH Democrat Federal Delegation polishing themselves as kindly Grandmas? Including you know who that can’t be?
Anyway, once again, here’s the clear black and white letter language of A LEGAL DOCUMENT which needs to be SIGNED to get that $27 million. There are LEGAL conditions in order to get that – that’s why they exist. It isn’t a matter of the NH Treasurer Monica Mezzapelle waking up one day and starts scratching her head going “er, where’d THAT $27M come from in our checking account?”
Legal agreements are covenants. You do this, we do that:
I’ve already brought this up twice: here and here where I asked “Will Republican Gov. Chris Sununu Sell out NH’s Sovereignty for a Bucket of Biden Bucks?” I generally try to take people at their word no matter how stupid they sound. And right now, our MIT trained Chief Executive is sounding mighty stupid, fer sure:
Sununu said those fears aren’t well-grounded, calling it “boilerplate language” and the state can still make its own decisions regarding vaccines.
“It’s incredibly vague … it really doesn’t hold water and doesn’t infringe on state sovereignty,” Sununu said.
Stick to your degree’s forte, environment, and running your snow operation at Waterville because THAT snow job ain’t flying at all. We’re not stupid – it says what it says and if you sign this, NH will be on the hook for this. And about this next thing?
Attorney General John Formella is putting together a written opinion to assure councilors the language doesn’t bind state actions, Sununu said.
So, he thinks that the Exec. Councilors are ALSO willing to put themselves at risk for this with their voters?
Harhar.
And I’ve been watching School Board lawyers for a while – the above contortion would give him entry into that SB legal clown circus any day. Everyone, however, has a Day of Accounting and some of the SB lawyers will be facing a tune of their own. I can’t wait to see Formella and Sununu get the “General Flynn” treatment.
The same language was in the state’s acceptance of the American Rescue Plan Act dollars, which also advised states they couldn’t take the federal COVID-19 dollars and then cut state taxes.
“We told the federal government to pound sand,” said Sununu, noting the state budget he signed cut state taxes on businesses, the sale of restaurant meals and hotel rooms, and interest and dividends.
There’s a difference between legal agreements and enforcement thereof (see our Southern Border lately) and when such legal agreements ARE enforced (like Westchester County, NY in their Obama’s Fair Housing / Agenda 21 “issue” a few years ago that meant the county had to keep spending and spending and spending because of a “legal agreement”). Which, I may add, the Sununu Administration effectively imported NY here into NH.
Sununu may be saying “pound sand” but he’s holding his breath that the Biden Administration’s Obama retreads don’t turn to each other with a smile and “here, hold my beer” on their lips.
Legal agreements matter – Sununu knows that but his “posing for the camera” won’t matter when those retreads come back to retrieve their beers after making NH a vassal state.
