(Hour 3b, c)
(Hour 3b) NH State Senator John Reagan is confident that his Democrat opponent, if elected, would make it a priority to see to the needs of NH State government employees. The NH taxpayers? Fuhgettaboutit!
Reagan discussed the bankrupt NH Retirement system, a case study in dumb decisions in Concord. It’s dug a deficit so deep that it would take a year’s worth of state revenues to fix. Reagan’s fix? “Stop digging!”
Reagan criticized Governor Hassan for a bloated budget that calls for $1.9 BILLION in increased spending and hundreds of new state employees. It’s the sort of “stuff” one can expect with the passage of NH Medicaid Expansion.
(Hour 3c) “Rebel” Reagan gave us his take on Northern Pass and proposals to bury the lines instead of erecting enormous towers. It’s a process that’s been frustrated by a “no answers” exercise with PSNH.
Reagan discussed the real obstacles to bringing businesses and jobs to NH: regulations and insufficient infrastructure. Also, the burdensome costs of housing and energy for NH residents.
Reagan shared his enthusiasm for GOP Gubernatorial candidate Walt Havenstein, a man truly respected by the workers at BAE. Even Democrats!
