He was meh until he starting kissing Trumps ass. Now he can line up to suck my dick.

Still lost, and by a lot more in 2020. And it's not like the urban areas dragged us there like Chicago to illinois or NYC vs the rest of the state. 47% of our population lives in rural regions.

Alpine Grove, in Hollis. We did our wedding reception there, very nice facility.

For many people those still aren't enough to retire on without something like social security. Nevermind if someone becomes disabled before they reach retirement age.

The exemption amount has stayed constant - not indexed. Seems they could have increased the exemption amount and index it for inflation to keep less people from being impacted. This would also provide a reduction in taxes without fully eliminating this revenue stream.

Very good. He has done a good job balancing the left and right, and finding common ground. I also think he did a good job handling covid for the same reasons.

I wish more politicians were like Lynch.

I would recommend checking out Rustic Gatherings as well.

I am getting married at the Barn at Foote Farm through Rustic Gatherings this fall. It was the best priced barn we could find. We booked it 2 years ago so the prices may have gone up a bit.

As stated above, they have a few different options for venues though

Oh I agree completely, digital is the way to go, but by no means is digital storage "cheap". Cheaper than it used to be? Certainly. But not "cheap", especially on a government budget.

To throw this into perspective, the city that I work for is spending $82k on 50ish TB of storage and backing that up. And that doesn't include the operating system to run on the server, nor the power to actually run it. Thats just the physical system. Not to mention that that hardware is only good for so long, then it need to be replaced and all that data needs to be migrated. And you need to pay someone to manage that server to make sure nothing gets corrupted or lost due to unforeseen hardware failure.

I still think that this data should be kept for 7 years, maybe longer, but no matter how you store it, it's not "cheap".

Yes, that is the “ban” people are upset about.

To really put that in perspective, Class A Felony theft in NH is a theft over $1501. A person who commits a Class A felony theft is subject to up to 15 years imprisonment and a fine of of $4000 or twice the value of stolen property.

Gilberto stole almost 304x that amount from his workers, but not one mention of jail for his crime. Yes he has to pay $900K in restitution to the workers, but given he's been doing it for years that's probably still well within the "cost of doing business"

He clearly learned at his Dad's knee and he is like Teflon. It doesn't matter what I believe which is he's a grifting sell out who sold our kids Education system for a bite of power, folks love him.

Because you don't need that many stock holdings to get hit by the tax. I earn significantly under that limit and just by putting away a few bucks a week, I earn significant (to me) dividend income.

Just a reminder, there are at least 2 Jim/James Spillane/Splaines in NH politics.

James Spillane is the Republican state rep from Deerfield who has been arrested and convicted of Domestic Violence, multiple DUIs, and Reckless Conduct. (I think that one was from when he was shooting squirrels in his neighborhood with a .50 muzzleloader). He is the one who called for violence against anyone with a BLM sign.

Then there is Jim Splaine from Portsmouth who is a well respected member of the political community and has served in the State Senate, House of Reps, and City Council. He also sponsored the bill that made same sex marriage legal in NH.

He's OK, just the way I like my NH governors. I'm a Republican but more like Republican Light (same great taste, fewer calories) so I prefer as little BS as possible out of the governor's office.

My favorite gov was probably Lynch even though he was a Democrat. I voted for him every time he ran. Cool dude.

Best is the strong economy and natural beauty. Worst is lack of affordable housing.

But it's 2023. You don't have to keep physical copies to store files indefinitely. All you need is a scanner and a server that fits in a closet sized room.

A-

He’s in the seat because of his father, basically nepotism, and he’s got nearly nothing to show for his time in power. How he clings on is beyond me and his image as a moderate is a paper thin mask that’s easily peeled away.

I agree with your stance, especially to your point about border security searching people within 100 mi of the border. But if I was looking for perfection from my politicians I will never be happy. I can easily find something to dislike about every single one of them, so I need to focus on issues that are actually important to me and northern border security is near the bottom of the list.

All the time and too often during dark winter hours when there's very little people are allowed to shoot at

Weed money is even being lost in the medical card program because it’s so expensive in New Hampshire most of us just drive to Maine.

I can't argue with that. Sure as hell doesn't make me like him more. Hate is hate. And they are all full of it as far as I can see.

Yeah I really think we should do something about the Nepo babies everywhere. Time to go
