New Hampshire’s Bi-Partisan Usurpation of Local Control

April 13, 2025December 26, 2019 Jane Aitken

Michael Kitch’s November 22, 2019 article in the NH Business Review; “Taking on NH’s housing ‘crisis’ – Task force’s recommendations ‘a long time coming’” praises the Governor’s new plan to manage housing in NH. The plan is not an enhancement of local control, but a gross usurpation of it. And it could have dire consequences for … Read more

NH Gov. Chris Sununu Say No to TCI or Embracing any Sort of Regional Gas Tax

December 17, 2019 Steve MacDonald

As Skip noted earlier today, we’ve got a lot of coverage on the proposed Transportation Climate Initiative. Summed up, “It’s a Trap.” An abrogation of taxing power and electoral accountability to distant climate ministers you cannot vote out of office. But we have good news. Gov. Chris Sununu says, no way.

Massachusetts Needs New Hampshire For Gas Tax Scam to Work

November 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Massachusetts has a problem. Well, a new problem. They desperately want to use a proposed regional theft scheme to jack up gas prices. In California, the same scam has driven gas over 4.00/gallon. But to get there, they can’t go it alone and New Hampshire buying in isn’t a given.

What Do Chick-fil-A and Gov. Chris Sununu Have in Common?

November 22, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The Salvation Army, by their own estimate, provides more poverty assistance to the LGBT community than perhaps any organization on the planet. They help people in need without regard to anything other than the need. But militant, leftist, douchebags don’t care.

Does New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu Get it Yet?

October 11, 2019October 11, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Gov. Sununu has been great on guns and the economy. But when he began advancing left-wing culture-war legislation, I made a prediction. He’d get re-elected in 2018, but the Republicans in the legislature might get wiped out. That happened.

Budget Compromise Proves NH Democrats Want Economy To Tank so they Can Raise Taxes

September 30, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The comprises budget signed by Gov. Sununu sucks. It spends more, and it’s got Easter eggs, more suitably named poison pills. But it’s not a total loss. It proves that New Hampshire Democrats were lying about tax hikes.

WMUR Pushes the Democrat Impeachment-Hoax

September 29, 2019 Ed Mosca

This: So … here we have WMUR’s Johnny D … as in DISHONEST … repeating the DemocRAT memes that (1) differences over “national security” policy are an impeachable offense (more on this poppycock below) and (2) that President Trump jeopardized “national security” by engaging in a quid pro quo with Ukraine … a quid pro … Read more

VT “republican” Gov. Phil Scott Makes Sununu Look like Frikkin’ Reagan

September 27, 2019September 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Don’t get too excited by the title. I’m not saying Sununu is Reagan. I’m saying that Vermont’s ‘republican’ governor should be kicked out of the Republican party. And not just because he just bought in on impeaching the president.

[Update] NHGOP Releases Video on Sununu’s Sustained Vetoes- All I do is Win! Is it Offensive?

September 19, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I’m not saying it was the best use of time but seeing Sununu’s face on a dancing rapper’s body is pretty damn funny. And, a bit Trumpian. We’re never going to get tired of winning.

August 16, 2021September 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Easy money, no up-front taxpayer backstops, and a resource people want and need. So, sure, let’s ban it. That’s the plan according to a report from US News. Gov. Sununu is banning oil and gas drilling off the coast of New Hampshire.

NHPR Reporting That Sununu Caves on #SocialistBudget

August 29, 2019 Ed Mosca

This: HERE is a link to the Governor’s proposal. The bottom line: So Sununu is negotiating against himself. No concession or movement by the DemocRATS to his compromise proposal, so he is further compromising. Somebody get Chris a copy of The Art of the Deal. Quickly.

Shame on Sununu – For Agreeing With DemocRATS That N.H. Taxpayers Should Be Forced To Subsidize Abortions

August 21, 2019 Ed Mosca

As you may know, Planned Parenthood has CHOSEN to forego certain federal funding (Title X) in order to continue profiting from ABORTIONS: Steve wrote about it here. He also noted that the N.H. DemocRATS want to force N.H. taxpayers to replace the federal dollars that Planned Parenthood chose to forego: The State budget has 3.2 … Read more

Tyrion Volinsky Has Kind of a John Kerry Moment

August 10, 2019 Ed Mosca

Remember this? When former Massachusetts Senator John Kerry proudly told us he was both for the Iraq War and against the Iraq War: Now we have Tyrion Volinsky telling us he is neither for nor against an income tax: Does Tyrion really think voters are that stupid? That he can have it both ways on … Read more

After Just Six Months NYC Businesses Slashing Jobs and Hours over Min Wage Hike

August 10, 2019August 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Don’t listen to New Hampshire Democrats when they whine about working people’s wages. Gov. Sununu harpooned their job-killing minimum wage bill. The Legislature needs to sustain that veto. And we can look to Liberal New York City for evidence.

Governor Sununu Just Sent Liberal Gun Grabbers a Message. We aren’t Turning the Granite State into Baltimore

August 9, 2019 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Democrat’s played politics with mass murder. While loved-ones were still being notified in Dayton and El Paso they sent three anti-gun bills they’d sat on for 39 days to NH Gov. Chris Sununu’s desk. He vetoed them.
