Bennet events this weekend

We are so so fortunate, here in New Hampshire, to have a delegation so woke, so intelligent, so um Democratic, that we don’t have to spend time writing and calling our national delegation about their votes (like Maine, for instance) (and am sure they love love letters). That said, we still need to raise our voices in true indignation. We have our own Trumpian governor to push back on. Try to harness your blood pressure when you read our latest “Sununu facts.” All kinds of blatant abuses of power are going on right here and we need to let him know that we notice. Let our neighbors know; spread the word. He needs to go back to whatever he was doing before he was voted in.

Our lone visiting candidate this weekend, Sen. Michael Bennet, now has four stops in our region: Enfield, Grantham, Sunapee and Franklin. He’s more than worth a look so RSVP and go listen to what he has to say.

As of this writing there is no resolution on Thursday,  December 19 debate so keep our debate watch party on your calendar until further notice.

It’s possible that this will be our last newsletter until after the holiday so enjoy your break!

Sununu facts. Did you know?
Governor Sununu recently awarded the highly sought after “opportunity zone” designation to Waterville Valley — the community where his family owns a ski resort. There were 106 communities in New Hampshire eligible to receive the designation and Governor Sununu picked the community where his family owns a ski resort to be one of only twenty-seven selected for preferential tax treatment.

The designation as an opportunity zone comes with lucrative tax breaks for business owners and investors, meaning Sununu’s family could benefit greatly from this selection. This is a clear conflict of interest, and Granite Staters deserve to know how this decision was made and whether the Sununu family has benefited financially.

From refusing to release his tax returns to campaign finances and out-of-state travel to using his inaugural fund to pay his friends and family, we’ve seen less transparency from Sununu than any other administration in recent New Hampshire history.
