When I discovered Friday morning that NH Governor Chris Sununu had HB1625, the Sidewalk Free Speech Act on his desk I knew that he would veto or sign the bill that afternoon, right before the long holiday weekend hoping no one would notice. But I wasn’t going to let it pass unnoticed.

Gov. Chris Sununu Vetoes Democrat’s Latest Arbitrary Job Killing Wage Mandate

July 25, 2020

by Steve MacDonald

Democrats are not fans of free and open markets. They love meddling. Licensing that restricts access and creates cartels, regulations that limit opportunity, and jobs that demand tithing to their union-boss political allies. They also think they know what every starting hour of labor in every occupation is worth. They don’t.

by Ian Underwood

There’s a lot of talk lately about how the House wasted time on some pointless reprimands, and consequently everything is behind schedule. However, this represents a small fraction of a much larger slice of time that gets wasted in every session, but especially in sessions — like the current one — where the legislative and executive branches are controlled by different parties.

Wednesday and Thursday were good days for legislative Republicans. They showed unified strength in sustaining the Governor’s many vetoes, sustaining 53 out of 55 so far this year.

Minimum Wage Would Hurt the Very People It Was Intended to Benefit

September 1, 2019
