New Hampshire Democrats: You Are Not Paying Enough for Electricity
By nearly unanimous rubber-stamp consent 99% of New Hampshire Democrats, including all four from Merrimack, are convinced your electric rates are too low. You are just not paying enough. So, last week they voted on at least three separate occasions to “fix” that problem. House Bill 447 would have corrected a more-than-decade-old money-laundering scheme. Democrats added a carbon … Read more
