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.

How About a 26% Tax on Marijuana Sales To Keep Prices “High”
Back in 2012 New Hampshire Governor-Elect Maggie Hassan said she was open to the idea of passing medical marijuana legislation. My first thought was, why? What did Democrats have to gain by putting their foot on the path toward what is typically considered a liberty issue? My answer was money and power.
Vermont Democrat Walks Away. Why?
by Jim Fitzgerald, Candidate for St. Albans State Representative Franklin 3-1
As a proud Democrat, I was elected to represent St. Albans in the Vermont state legislature for six years, and after that I served as mayor of St. Albans for four years. This year I am running for the legislature again… but as a Republican.
Yes, a Vermont Republican.
Why?
Notable Quote – Kimberly Ross on “Christine Hallquist”
Reformatted, emphasis mine:
On Tuesday, Christine Hallquist won the Democratic primary in the state of Vermont and is officially the party’s gubernatorial candidate. Such a win would normally not receive much attention at all. However, Hallquist, who spent most of his life by the given name ‘David’, now lives as a transgender woman. As we’re well aware, that in itself launches him to a place of prominence among Leftists. As an actual, biological female, I find such obsessions not only irritating but downright insulting.
Vermont Sets aside One Million in ‘Bribes’ to Attract New Residents
The People running the People’s Republic of Vermont (into the ground) have decided to offer 10,000.00 dollar bribes to the first 100 people who qualify for what they are calling a Remote-Worker Grant Program. To get the cash incentive you have to move yourself and your remote-work job to the Green Mountain State, (and then pay taxes, backstop socialized medicine and other rising welfare costs, along with increasing unfriendly policies towards natural rights including speech, property, and self-defense).
I think they left (most of that) out of the brochure.
Vermont Goes Left On Guns – Is New Hampshire Getting Jealous?
In the heat of the moment, Vermont has gone full-Sanders and embraced a package of gun restrictions and limitations that will do absolutely nothing to reduce the odds of any illegal shooting in the state.
Vermont Legislature Uses Parkland To Go After Guns
The Vermont House Judiciary Committee, motivated by the shooting in Parkland, Florida, advanced sweeping gun control legislation this week on a party-line vote.
Why Is All This Federal Money Pouring in to Newport, Vermont?
Newport, Vermont is a tiny ‘berg’ near the Canadian border of roughly 4,600 people, but it attracts federal money like nobody’s business. Senators Leahy and Sanders, along with Representative Welch, all from Vermont, have wrangled a small fortune in grants to …”remodel” the airport there, money that now has ties to some nefarious characters.
Vote Fraud – In Pictures “Free Shuttle 8am – 7 pm”
In November 2012, there was some vote fraud. I know Democrats are denying it, but it is true. People who should not have voted in the swing state of New Hampshire came here and voted. Democrats conspired and planned it, statewide.
The Economic Power Of New Hampshire
I’m a strong supporter of Vermont’s sovereign right to hold the line on taxes, and for them to try because of New Hampshire–well, it doesn’t get much better than that. It is as if we are projecting economic power throughout the region.
