I'm a pretty firm democrat, but I dont think he's terrible. Definitely not a 'good' governor, but hes a safe governor in the sense that not much will change while he's in change. The political equivalent to kicking a can down the road until an actual good candidate is ready to challenge him.
I do find it really amusing that he always makes appearances wearing work boots. Hardworking, blue-collar, man of the people, just with a trust fund.

I was banned from antiwork for pointing out stealing from your employer is both illegal and unethical.

Have you tried telling them you think it’s a Breaking Bad kind of situation? Maybe that would motivate them.

I get the odd feeling the cops are why it’s there… Vehicle may have been impounded for whatever reason and cops didn’t have physical or legal means to take it away 😂 Is there not a plate on it?

>the "affordable" part of the housing is only in place for 5 years
Yep. I hated that. And certainly it was owing to pressure put on lawmakers by rich developers. The Innis bill, which will pass, will fund InvestNH for next year and then we'll see if the powers that be will continue afterwards. The concept is sound, it just needs to go more than 5 years. Obviously, if we're serious about attainable housing, developers need to be incentivized to meet a reasonable ROI. Housing Opportunity Zones can help with this. To wit:
If a community did this, they can freeze the local taxes at whatever rate the property is currently taxed at for up to 10 years if the project is 1/3 affordable. A very lucrative benefit. A 'community of the willing" could also pass things such as density bonuses, 1 parking space per unit versus bedroom, increase housing, decrease setbacks, etc. There are ways to get there, it just takes, well, a village.
Regarding weed, please clarify this as I didn't quite get what you were saying:
"The states that have legal cannabis are already taking funds away from NH liquor stores."
Also, who did you mean when you said, "Vermin Supreme"?
Thanks!

He seems to be a run of the mill politician. He's going to pander to whoever he needs to get to votes and do what those who get him elected ask him to.
Probably not any worse than any other presidential candidate with a chance in hell, and if he goes to Washington maybe we can get a better Governor.

I wouldn't worry too much. If you're in a rural area and have a generator, make sure you have gas. Maybe grab some extra food that is shelf stable if you don't keep much in the house. You don't need to be ready for nuclear war but having some basic food that will last you a week is appropriate.
Car stuff is useful to have too - ice scrapers, one of those snow pusher things, lock deicer, spare pair of gloves in the car. Snow pushers are amazing for heavy snowfall. Also you should have a spare shovel. A mini one in the car can come in handy too.
Most of us have been through 2+ feet in one night. When that happens things slow down for a day or so and then go back to normal.

Edit: happy cake day!!
Ive looked into his proposals, the state will match money that is already put up, and pretty much everything needs to already be in progress to apply. this naturally locks out smaller companies and individuals who cannot put up the same amount cash as larger, usually out of state construction. At minimum, 10 million to be used specifically for 15 unit buildings or less. Also, the "affordable" part of the housing is only in place for 5 years, and even during the 5 year period, these arent rent controlled in the sense that its only 500 a month per unit or similar, its an allowable range of rent to be charged based on an ever changing table that will only decrease if the Area median income goes down. Where NH is continuing to appeal to wealthy transplants, this will only increase the allowable rents to be charged. The citizens wouldve probably been better served actually receiving those funds during the pandemic through rental assistance, improved unemployment, even just extra medical system funding.
In regard to cannabis, the state is already not getting a cut. The states that have legal cannabis are already taking funds away from NH liquor stores. If NH passed state law and then taxed the revenue of those businesses, it would at least keep some of the lost alcohol revenue inside of the state instead of giving all of it to our neighbors. They wouldnt even need to sell it out of the liquor stores. Also, the feds have done nothing to any of the states that have full legalization of cannabis or mushrooms and some even harder drugs. The idea that NH opening up a few "Nh Liquor Wine and Weed Outlet" will trigger the feds to take action is unlikely.
Im not saying that Vermin Supreme would make a better Governor, im just not pleased with this one.

You can't get rid of it without a title. You could maybe apply for one or get someone to leave it under a bridge. I dealt with the same thing and it's a massive pain

A nepotism hire and intellectual lightweight, but don’t vote for the person vote for the policies. I personally think his policies are bad, but it sounds like you don’t. Because he’s not an outright fascist zealot, I see no reason not to support him if you like what he says he wants to achieve (weighed against what is actually possible for him to achieve). It will never match with your beliefs/values 100%, but that’s what a democracy looks like.

He was totally playing the maga card, IMO, to test the waters. All his press lately is just feeling out his chances and the best strategy. As a governor I see sununu as my kind of republican. Weed aside, he’s a small government conservative.

Our neighboring states, mass, maine, vermont. They have legal cannabis. Nh citizens that want to use just drive over the border, buy, and then consume. So long as they dont cross any state lines, the nh citizen has broken no laws. So the money that wouldve gone to NH liquor is instead going to legal cannabis in other states. If nh legalized, at least a portion of the alcohol revenue lost would return to the state as cannabis or business tax revenue. The people who have switched from NH alcohol to out of state cannabis are generally not coming back to the bottle, at least not as much as before our neighbors legalized. If we legalized and had lower taxes than our neighbors, our neighbors' citizens would then be doing to NH, what NH citizens are currently doing to states like MA, ME, and VT.
Vermin Supreme is a candidate from NH who ran or still runs for president. He wears a long boot atop his head and promises free ponies for everyone if elected.
