GrokTV Special Interview: Bob Burns (candidate for NH Executive Council District 4) – Q5: “Hacks” versus “Public Servants”?

Leadership counts and one of the primary jobs of the NH Executive Council is to confirm those that have been brought up for appointment for leadership positions like Commissioners of departments and such, and judges.  The person doing the nominating certainly has a philosophy as to why a given candidate should be confirmed, so we … Read more

GrokTV Special Interview: Bob Burns (candidate for NH Executive Council District 4) – Q3: How would the Executive Council advance your vision of Government?

GrokTV Event – Rumney home event for Ovide Lamontagne (Candidate, NH Governor) – Question 3 – Do any tort reforms in the State in order to help us?

The last question was on Obamacare and how to protect NH business owners from it; this question concerns the legal ramifications as well – tort reform.  It is almost obligatory to say that the Democrats are so beholden to the trial lawyers (along with Big Unions, Big Environmentalism, and Wall Street) that their legislation often … Read more

GrokTV Event – Rumney home event for Ovide Lamontagne (Candidate, NH Governor) – Question 2 – How protect NH against Obamacare?

Continuing from the last post (Ovide’s speech and the first question), there is another question asked of Ovide.  Sure, Obamacare has now been judged Constitutional but a lot of small business owners are fully concerned of the danger it poses to their viability.  This one was asked by someone, fully cognizant that Obamacare was supposed … Read more
