Andru Volinsky – trying to outdo Grimm’s fairy tales?

This isn’t the first time Councilor Volinsky has tried to end run the Constitution. Most of you may not …

Press Conference: Womens’ Defense League of NH – Veto these bills!

This morning, the Womens’ Defense League of NH (“WDLNH”) had a press conference in the Legislative Office Building at 8:30am.

John Kasich’s Gun Rights Veto Overridden by Ohio Legislature

On Christmas Eve we reported on Governor John Kasich’s veto of some bills including “gun-rights” legislation. Kasich was emphatic in his rejection. “If you think I’m going to sign a bill that gives more power to the gun folks, are you kidding me?” The State Legislature wasn’t kidding when they sent it to his desk.  So …

Quick Thought: Not so much “free market”, eh Tom, when you want others to pay for “weeding your garden”?

So, Tom Thomson (son of Gov. Thomson of “low spending yields low taxes” fame) who for years was the honorary chair of AFP-NH which argues for Free Markets, has decided to go the Full Monty and arguing that electric rate payers (that would be you and I) should pay for his timber to be cut …
