Last February, I posted a series of articles about three campaign finance complaints that had been filed with both the SOS’s and AG’s offices in relation to three members of the NH House.

We’re Still Waiting For Those Campaign Finance Report Corrections

It has been a week and a day, give or take, since we reported on House leadership’s response to several Election Law (specifically campaign finance) complaints. The Committee to Elect House Republicans (CTEHR) appears numerically challenged, having somehow misplaced over 169,000 dollars between 2022 and 2024. To provide a bit of contrast, I could probably … Read more

Mr. Speaker: Is it Money Laundering Or Something Else?

While we wait for the Committee to Elect House Republicans (CTEHR) to explain where nearly 170,000.00 dollars went between 2022 and 2024, other related matters require our attention. Let me preface with this. If you are married, it is not a good look if you are seen frequently in public in the private company of … Read more

Irony Alert … Ross Berry

Here is a good one: Ross Berry criticizes union leadership on X for not representing union workers. The irony apparently escapes Berry. Berry and his fellow Republican “leaders,” Jason Osborne, Joe Sweeney, etc., do NOT represent Republicans.

Not Me, Jason

If you want to understand why NHGOP House “leadership” believes it can ignore the priorities of actual GOP voters while instead pushing their decidedly non-GOP agenda … an obsession with legalizing marijuana, outlawing single-family zoning, increasing urban density, and catering to the rich and the elites (e.g., ending interest-and-dividends tax) while ignoring working people (no … Read more
