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

August 29, 2025September 1, 2019 Christopher Maidment

The Myth of Gerrymandering

August 10, 2019 Ed Mosca

I have been very active on twitter opposing HB 706, the misnamed (purposefully) “Independent Redistricting Commission” and supporting the Governor’s veto. For example: I recently had a twitter skirmish with a Socialist-robot who was apoplectic that HB 706 had been vetoed. In part: To be clear, of course the GOP attempted to “gerrymander” in 2012. … Read more

Gov Sununu Vetoes The Democrat’s Tax and Spend Budget

June 29, 2019June 28, 2019 Skip

The Democrats decided to pull the same financial stunt just before Bill O’Brien became speaker. Create a structural deficit by using “today’s surplus” to up the amounts spent in following years.
