I generally felt like he was a more or less neutral political figure for a while. A little too much in bed with the resorts and money in the state but more or less harmless. I even voted for him once.

Then he started trying to appeal more and more to the MAGA crowd. Signing the abortion ban, pushing for public tax money to be given to religious schools, spending NH tax dollars to "secure our northern border" etc.

The thing that really pushed me over the edge was when Rep. Jim Spillane (R) was calling for his supporters to commit a home invasion on anyone with a BLM sign in their yard and Sununu utterly refused to call him out because they are in the same party.

If someone threatens violence on your constituents you call them out. I don't care what party you are in.

That was when I knew that he doesn't actually care about NH, he just wants to be president so bad that he will sell out every single one of us to get there.

Edit: Oh yeah, and he is also responsible for losing millions in tax revenue and causing many people in the state to have criminal records because of his 1950's perspective on marijuana.

Edit2: Also, let's not forget that he vetoed the bill that passed the House and Senate that would allow citizens affected by PFAS contamination to sue the companies responsible to cover the medical testing they will have to do for the rest of their lives.

I think he has done a good job being what most independents vote for him for. He's a tempering moderate. He's stated that he won't change our abortion laws despite attempts to legalize all abortions including late term and partial birth abortions, as well as republican attempts to push a ban beyond six weeks. He's kept it at 24 weeks, just like it was pre Dobbs. I appreciate that he's disappointed the fringes on both sides of the aisle.

There are plenty of more cost efficient venues around - what are they looking for in a venue? Sealres is like TOTALLY a different expected experience than the VFW.
Additionally, what time of year are they looking at? If they're willing to move to off peak they could save some money.

5 years ago now, but Westford Regency (MA) was very cost efficient for a January wedding with an on-site ceremony, 5 course dinner, bar package and late night snacks. (DM me).

I understand why you think it is the wealthy that benefit. And to some extent that may be true. Interest and dividends are a vital way for many senior citizens to fund retirement. As inflation continues to eat away at buying power, the income that is generated by interest and/or dividends is crucial for many. Not just “rich people.” Keep in mind that as people approach retirement age, the amount required to maintain your standard log living will easily require a net worth over 1 million dollars? Is that rich? I guess the real debate is, what is rich and does that vary according to geography as well?

+1 to cycle gear. It's also worth knowing that Cycle gear and Revzilla share the same parent company so a lot of the stuff you can get at cycle gear you can also get online from Revzilla. I still prefer buying helmets and shoes in a store tho.
