Interesting accusation.
As a lifelong (and fulltime) resident of New Hampshire, one who reads a number of her paper's daily, I can recall no such articles that you claim exist. Anxiously awaiting your links to specific articles to verify your aforementioned condemnation of "the Voters' Will".
You also claim, in your same diatribe, that New Hampshire's government is controlled by lobbyists.
What you fail to mention (or grasp) is that the New Hampshire State Legislature is made up of 400 locally elected citizens from across the State. So many, in fact, that forum regulars and New Hampshire residents probably know personally at least one or more in their representative district. These citizen legislators are elected by their neighbors every two years. Many have been re-elected time & time again by those same neighbors & friends. While no legislator can please every single constituent on every single issue, most do a pretty damn good job for their $100 a year salary, and it is relfected in their longevity. But again, I patiently await more solid proof of your henceforth unsubstantiated claim that all these folks must be on the take.
It is easy to anonymously accuse those who partake of lifestyles and interests different than yours as being conspirators. It is easy to anonymously bash those that devote much of their time & energy trying to serve us in the State Capitol. And it no sport to assail, anonymously, the fine men & women in the public safety field who tirelessly protect us from ourselves 24/7.
But again, you may be exactly right in all your accusations. Therefore, I still anxiously await the factual data that you must be hording to form such all knowing and authoritative positions.
Enlighten us, anonymously of course....
