For the last bit I’d say it’s more “rich, out of touch kids who don’t need to have an income to survive, and out of touch old people afraid of progress.” Not that there isn’t always some in between but I don’t see many middle age average working folks represented because they simply can’t afford to be a legislator.

Cranmore or Black. Black probably the least of all crowded, Cranmore second. Bretton Woods can be good, too, as it’s just far enough that people either make a destination of it or opt for Attitash/Wildcat. Cannon might be worth the drive as well.

Keep in mind Attitash and Wildcat are part of Vail, so loads of people buy into the Epic pass and they get crowded, especially on this spring break overlap. Loon has a similar problem as it is part of Ikon. What you want are the smaller, independent areas.

If you’re willing to drive then Sunday River could be a great bet as well.

That simply is not true. There was a one bill last year to do that, the first time that idea has ever been proposed, but it was rejected. That whole idea is pretty much dead. The current legislation (HB 593) is a more conventional approach similar to what other states have done.

I think the issue here is our definition of white supremacists. The right see’s white suprematists as someone who believes other races are inferior and uses intimidation and threats to harass other races. The left says white supremacists all the time but what they mean are just anyone who doesn’t vote for their candidates.

He really doesn’t have to “progress academically” at his age. Let him be a kid. He’s going there to socialize and play, not get ready for the SAT. It will be far more beneficial to him to be the older member of his class as opposed to the too young member of class for the next 13 years. Try a different Pre-K if this one is a problem but there is no benefit in rushing him and possibly actual detriment.

As a left-leaning independent, I find him tolerable and have voted for him. I support limited sales tax and no state income tax. Our property taxes are high, but at least you can see what you're spending all in one place.

NH has a very bad fentanyl problem and homeless problem. The state has not done enough to clean up our cities, especially Manchester. We have a lack of affordable housing, and we're the only state in New England that hasn't raised minimum wage above $7.25/hour.

He's been moderate on abortion and I am pro-choice, so I have a hard time supporting any Republican. Overall he is far above tfg and DeSantis. He's seems affable but people say he can be an a$$. I'm on my town's conservation Commission and we have received quite a lot of state funding for trail projects, although it's very competitive process.
