This is not the first time someone high up in LPD has been involved in a situation almost identical to this. It boggles the mind but then you remember what state this is and it no longer does.

Thank you so much!

More like we just doubled your rates so if you lose power you’re really fucked because you’ll have no extra income to stay in a hotel or stock up on supplies to avoid perishing

I am seacoast/lakes region, I can’t find info on this storm anywhere- weather app just says some non-freezing rain tomorrow, I google for info on this storm and only last weekend’s comes up. But it keeps getting posted on sm. What am I missing because I feel crazy.

No. No one on either side feels like our current system is working particularly well. Continuing to do the same things only because “we’ve always done it” is insufficient in the face of chronic failure and disappointment. Let’s shake it up and maybe at least some will like the results rather than abject misery all around

As someone that worked on legislation on what should be a very low hanging fruit bipartisan topic the past 5 years, the average NH voter doesn’t really know what’s going on in a meaningful way, and tends to go with what seems familiar. A big part of this imo is the absurdly large size of NH’s government and the outdated processes NH uses to run the government/pass legislation- it’s too much for people to keep up with, especially across multiple issues. NH voters aren’t necessarily inherently untrustworthy, but too much is asked of them in order to stay informed citizens, and that is scary and allows scary things to happen.
