Hahah. Too funny. Govt lean and underfunded? It should be. After all most citizens are feeling that way too

He went on the radio and bragged about his pro-life credentials after signing the law, so I think people are reacting to that as much as the actual law. The ban after 24 weeks is fairly reasonable imo, but bragging about signing the first ban in decades put a lot of people off.

Cycle Gear👍🏼

What did he do with the culture against trans and LGBTQ? Not trying to start something, legitimately don't know.

Cycle design in keene, monadnock harley, freedom cycle in concord, full throttle powersports in keene/swanzey.

All in all good. The State needs to start to address the mental health issue in the State, specifically State-run hospitals for the mentally ill. Time to get the homeless situation under control.

I'm old enough to remember when his Dad used to excoriate the Kennedys for dynasty politics. A man who worked for both Bush presidencies.

Yet here we are today talking about his son, the governor.

We could use fewer nepo babies in American politics. Not all of them, like the Sununus, have your best interests at the forefront of their agenda. Plus, the kid is a bland Trump.

He's just so out of touch with the reality of people's day to day lives. I'm tired of the ultra wealthy horrding their money and making decisions just in the interest of other rich people....it's especially frustrating how NH politics is set up, you basically either have to be incredibly wealthy (so you don't need a job) or reitred to be involved at the state level....

He could be a lot worse, but I feel like the bar for the people that represent us and are supposed to be making decisions to benefit us is unbelievably low....

Biggest frustration is how he will not legalize marijuana, which would generate revenue and the state could support reducing property taxes, it's ridiculous. We have an aging population with many on fixed incomes and here is a clear bi-partisan solution to help people.

Dude is a turd. Vetoed bills that would have improved voters rights so he is taking away my power which I dislike.

So, you're older than 50.

If you're putting away $37,000 a year+other tax shelters, you can afford some tax on the rest. "Live within your means and sacrifice" my ass. I'd have to sacrifice eating to put away $37000/year.

That one is so convenient. I like that It's not in some industrial complex or in a sketchy alley.

He pretended to be neutral for a long time and then sold out to the MAGA crowd. The guy has absolutely no conviction on anything except his “reefer madness” stance on marijuana, and he’s utterly useless as a leader. He’s just a figure head.

Correct, the state doesn't require you to have insurance to drive here. It's foolish not to, but not illegal. HOWEVER, your lender likely does require it if you have a loan on your vehicle. And if you cross in to VT/MA "But NH doesn't require it" doesn't fly, they'll still ticket you for driving in their state without insurance.

Definitely a bit muddy!

he’s a middle of the road fiscal conservative. i’ll take him over the other crazy ones out there that are banning peoples rights and targeting children. I think he’s an okay example of NH and live free or die for now. he should consider legalizing weed because the state is really missing out on a HUGE payday. but i’m only like a year in to NH and moved from Florida so it’s refreshing here in my opinion

Not everyone has access to 401Ks.

Dr. Cunningham, when will UNH start offering an extension course in Bigfoot studies? Or is it more of a Keene State style of program. Even Plymouth went and got all universal. It time the youth start learning the necessary life skills to function in a state over run with Bigfoot’s.

Insidious. He portrays himself as a moderate, yet he has done a number of demonstrating more extremist behavior.

1. Banning abortion after 20 weeks. My opinion is that it is no one’s business. I have known women who had to go out of state for an abortion because their fetus had fatal abnormalities. This decision should be up to the patient and doctor. Government has no business in people’s business.

2. Department of Education. He appointed Edelbutt to be the secretary. A man who homeschools his children and has never had any experience in public education. His policies of school choice is aimed to defund our already suffering schools. Those who could well afford private schools can dip into that money.

3. Appointments to the state Supreme Court. The conservative judges have been sideline with corporations—look at the St. Gobain’s water pollution fiasco. Merrimack residents are unable to get the aid they need for the contaminated water that St. Gobain created. This is just one example of what the state Supreme Court has done.

4. Cutting taxes to corporations and the rich, while cutting services. Our social service safety net for our state’s most fragile has suffered. Children, elderly and mentally ill people have had numerous cuts in services, while others enjoy tax cuts.

5. Refusal to legalize marijuana. I personally do not partake of the drug. I appreciate its benefits for those who benefit from it. Legalizing it, the state could reap the benefits from taxation. I personally think that we could have had dispensaries that were state run, just like our liquor stores.

6. He seems to think that if he gets photo ops around the state, that’s governing.

7. He has flip flopped over quite a few issues.

Those are just a few off the top of my head.

Tax advantaged accounts have limits. If you live within your means and sacrifice the newest trend you can hit those limits. When you hit those limits, your savings go into taxable accounts. Additionally a 401K style account wasn't available for the first 10ish years of my career so all I had available was the Roth IRA which was easy to max--then it was back to sticking things in taxable.

GFY with the trust fund baby BS. My folks are still working their blue collar jobs well into their 70s.

Not a fan. Fuck him for the abortion ban, he doesn't care about LGBTQIA+ protections/rights, mental health services are absolutely abysmal here, he wants to bail out businesses more than help his citizens, he constantly vetoes marijuana bills since it means the state wouldn't be able to run their monopoly like the liquor stores, and he wants to appeal to the MAGA idiots. Frankly I don't understand why so many people vote for him.

Edit to add: He's not calling out these ridiculous book bans or parents begging to not let their kids know that some kids have 2 mommies/daddies and supports vouchers instead of our crippled public education. Surprised he's not calling out drag queens yet with the lot of them.

He’s a legacy name with charm.

But skills as a politician? Not so much. He can’t negotiate his way out of a wet paper bag.

As a party leader he has shown to be ineffective at leading his party.

There nothing left to squeeze from the fruit. That's the reality. Government is already lean and underfunded.

He’s MAGA curious. He needs to go.

Which is still much more liberal than the majority of Europe, including France, England, Italy, and Spain

I would love better alternatives. Especially at the higher levels of government.

I mean this is partly why I voted for President Biden. I'm not a fan but I found the other guy to be a toxic mess.
