ICYMI- It’s Not Putin’s “Price Hike” – It’s Joe Biden’s (And Here’s the Proof!)
A picture and not a lot of words which is a bit backward. Typically, it’s one picture and lots of words, but words will only muddle the obvious. Words are what the media is wielding to protect Ten Dollar a Gallon Joe.
Vermont Democrats Want You to Freeze to Death
New England has a problem. Its political leaders are committed to making electricity unreliable while insisting homes and businesses only have access to electric heat. It makes no difference if you believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) or not.
Unelected ‘Redistricting Commissions’ Are a Bad Idea and Don’t Do a Better Job
Federal legislation that included a provision that required all 50 states to create redistricting commissions failed in the US Senate. In states like New Hampshire, there is still pressure to create them.
[Update] The Transportation Climate Initiative is DEAD [and Buried]
[Update] Yesterday, we reported on the death of the Transportation Climate Initiative (below), another taxation without representation scheme that would milk motorists to fund progressive boutique climate interests.
The ‘Experts’ At Yahoo! and Twitter Versus Reality
I keep stumbling across all manner of stupid this week. From Twitter to Yahoo to the Hartford Courant, ‘The Media” Social and anti-social, are showing their asses, and we’re here (with some small measure of enthusiasm) to spank them.
We “Lost” To Maskachusetts at the Supreme Court But MA is Committed to Letting NH Win the “War”
As laboratories go, Massachusetts is a mixed bag. The sort you put over someone’s head before stuffing them into a nondescript van. Inside the bag, along with your face, is a profusion of bad ideas driven by a maddening addiction to spending and higher taxes.
Rhode Island Advances Bill to Make NH Even More Popular for Tourists and Job Creators
If we can keep Democrats from ruining the Granite State, we’re in great shape for years to come. Every state around us has gone full-stupid (or close to it), punishing their residents with higher taxes and regulations. Add to that their epic cash grab disguised as a “climate” gas tax, and you can stick a fork in them.
Connecticut Lies to the People as it Lobbys for Another Economy Killing Gas Tax
The Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI) is a scam. Elected officials pass off taxing power to a board that then pumps hard-working Americans for cash laundered into state coffers. States looking to fill budget shortfalls pretend that money is for “Clean Transportation” but that’s a lie too.
Massachusetts Climate Change Apparatchik Says the Quiet Part Out Loud.
It’s instructive when a bureaucrat says, “I can’t even say this publicly.” That is exactly the sort of thing that the people who pay his salary (you folks) need to hear. So, it’s lucky for us it was recorded so that we can share it.
AFP-NH Puts a Focus on 10 Key Legislative Priorities for 2021
Last week American’s for Prosperity New Hampshire published a list of legislative priorities for the Granite State in 2021. They’ve put a much-needed focus on ten pieces of legislation covering Education, Licensing, Free Speech, Asset Forfeiture, Health Care, and (believe it or not) Climate Change (sort of).
CT Governor Wants Regional Board to Raise the Gas Tax (TCI) Because His State Needs the Money.
The folks who pushed, promoted, and signed on to the Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI) are so cute. They keep insisting that this is about saving the planet. We’ll reduce emissions. Gaia will love us. Sorry, as with all such schemes, the goal is to milk the sick cow for a few more bucks before it dies.
NH Formally Declines to Foist a Massive Regional Gas Tax on Struggling Granite Staters
Whatever our thoughts may be about Chris Sununu regarding Emergency orders (not good, if you didn’t notice), he got this one right. New Hampshire, along with Maine, has opted not to sign on to the Transportation Climate Initiative memorandum of understanding.
Democrats Destroy Everything They Touch and Sometimes Republicans Help Them.
2019-2020 BC (Before COVID) I cut down a small forest of digital trees to make fun of the Transportation Climate Initiative. That’s a fancy name for a money-laundering scheme with taxes raised by folks you didn’t elect and could not punish for increasing levies.
Hold on To Your Wallets – New England’s Governors Promising Regional Energy Improvements
New England has energy infrastructure issues. But none of them will be resolved by this. “Vermont Governor Phil Scott and governors from four Northeast states today issued a statement calling for reforms needed to achieve their states’ respective goals for clean, affordable, and reliable electricity.”
Some Still Pushing for Massive TCI Gas Tax Despite COVID-Economy
Much like the New Hampshire Democrat desire to cram a 12% tax increase on small business owners in the Granite State (after demanding they close shop), a few movers and shakers behind a regional gas tax hike known as TCI don’t want to wait either.
Danger Will Robinson: New TCI Talking Point Begins With “Once in a Generation Opportunity…”
The latest media broadside on the terrible awful massive gas tax hike calling itself a “Climate Initiative” is labeling it a “once in a generation opportunity.” To what, kill jobs, and screw the heck out of low-income people and participating state economies? No, silly.
Another Nail in the TCI Coffin: Report Says Gas Tax Hike Could Be 53% Higher Than Advertised
There are plenty of reasons to prevent elected officials from handing off taxing powers to unelected bureaucrats. But that’s what the Proposed Transportation Climate Initiative does. A Tax on motor fuels whose estimated hike, according to new research will be much higher than advertised.
