Keno-Garten Gravy Train Crashes

February 12, 2019February 12, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Last year, the New Hampshire government promised its cities and towns that if they passed all-day Kindergarten, it would help cover a larger portion of the per-pupil costs. I was pretty leery of this plan, since most government subsidies (gimmes) eventually fade away, leaving the subsidizee holding the bag (think Federal Special Education grants). The … Read more

The Red Pen Governor

February 4, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The liberty and freedom we’ve enjoyed in New Hampshire is under direct attack. And it’s the worst it has ever been. Fresh off their November election wins, Democrats fired up their campaign to restrict rights and grow government. And, unfortunately, they control the House, Senate and Executive Council. But fortunately, we still have a Republican governor … Read more

NYC Complains About Menu Prices After Minimum Wage Hits 15.00/Hour (Coming Soon to NH?)

January 30, 2019 Steve MacDonald

We’ve been reporting periodically on New York Cities Fright for Fifteen. That’s the by-product of the fight for fifteen. An arbitrary Left-Wing wage hike that prices low-skilled labor our of jobs, employers out of business, and customers out of restaurants. The Big Crapple just hit the magic numbers (15.00/hour) and guess what?

Eversource Decides The State of NH Can’t Force It To Make You Pay More For Electricity

January 29, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Utilities, like governments, are monolithic edifices upon which waves of populist “outrage” love to crash. These sinister cabals exist to better themselves at our expense. They live to serve only themselves. And while that is always true of governments and perhaps Comcast, Eversource has done something to if not break then at least fissure the perception … Read more

Jeanne Shaheen Announces She Will Run for Third Term in 2020

January 28, 2019 Steve MacDonald

What can we say about Sen. Jeanne Shaheen that has not already been said? Quite a bit. And we’ll have more opportunity to say it. The 72-year old two-term Democrat is so addicted to the money and power in Washington that she can’t find a way to retire. She is running for a third term in 2020.

Off-Shore Wind Boondoggles- NH Says Deal Me In

August 16, 2021January 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire has expressed an interest in “milking” the sacred cow of offshore wind. To that end Governor Sununu recently asked the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to establish an intergovernmental offshore renewable energy task force for New Hampshire. The move is the first step in a multiyear process whose goal is to screw taxpayers for … Read more

New York State Moves to Emulate N.H. on Abortion

January 22, 2019 Ellen Kolb

Who knew that New York would look to New Hampshire for inspiration on its abortion laws? A vote in Albany by the New York Senate does just that, 46 years to the day after the U.S. Supreme Court handed down with a thud the twin decisions Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Next stop: the abortion-friendly state Assembly. Governor Andrew Cuomo is ready to sign the measure when it reaches his desk.

“Smarter” Democrat Border Priorities Cost us Lives and Billions of Hard-Earned Dollars

January 20, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Rosemarie Rung is a rare breed. She’s an elected House Democrat from Merrimack. We send eight representatives to Concord and don’t typically have Democrats. Occasionally we’ll have one. In 2018 we elected four. I suspect, after 2020, we’ll have none. In part, due to the tone-deaf, left-wing narrative pimping of Liberals like Rosemarie Rung who won the office … Read more

Governor Sununu’s Family Medical Leave “Two-State Solution”

January 17, 2019January 17, 2019 Steve MacDonald

My initial reaction to the news that Governor Sununu was climbing into bed with Vermont on a two-state family medical leave plan was something with a couple of asterisks in the middle. What in the name of General John Stark Are You Doing! Put those asterisks wherever you like.

January 16, 2019January 15, 2019 Steve MacDonald
