State Sponsored Gambling Monopolies – A Stupid Idea For Which The Time Will Never Come

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

Like a junkie who needs a fix, Liberal Lou D’Allesandro is chomping at the bit for another shot at a state gambling monopoly. Who would have guessed that the fake news promise of tax riches for all would subside in Manchester’s Tax and Spend Lou.

Once again Senator Casino is trying to rally support for a flock of gambling lobbyists who will certainly shower pro-gambling Legislators with campaign donations. (They are the only ones who really benefit from a guaranteed income.) More…

Eddie Edwards Issues Statement on White House Tax Plan

Dover, NH – Eddie Edwards, candidate for Congress in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District, released the following statement regarding the tax proposals being talked about on Capitol Hill:

“I am encouraged by the action I am finally seeing in Washington on tax reform. Congress has been talking about this issue for decades without any real action. While Washington politicians have been arguing, the American people have suffered. It is time for them to listen to the people and make serious changes that will benefit small businesses and middle class families. I encourage our elected officials to pass a pro-growth tax plan that will spark the economy and allow Granite Staters to keep more of their hard-earned money.”

PUC will not reconsider Eversource deal for buying a portion of Northern Pass’s power

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

Eversource has lost its bid to have the Public Utilities Commission to reconsider its decision to reject a proposed power purchase agreement that would have allowed Eversource to buy some of Northern Pass’s power and offer it at a lower-than-market rate.

The PUC ruled last week that a proposed 20-year agreement with Hydro Renewable Energy was not “consistent with New Hampshire law.” More…

He should claim to be a Syrian Refugee

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

I know an American with high-level engineering skills that would like to move to Germany. He’s learning the language and everything. But they won’t let him in unless,

  1. He has a job in Germany before he moves there.
  2. He is not taking that job away from a German citizen.

Maybe he should learn Arabic and say he’s a Syrian refugee?

Woman concerned about comments following Right-to-Know request

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

A local resident says she is concerned after comments were made about her at a budget committee meeting she did not attend, following her Right-to-Know Law request for emails from two of the members.

Interpersonal political relations have increasingly gained attention on college campuses. One way to get a sense of this dynamic is to assess comfort levels among college students when interacting with others of opposing ideologies.
