Insidious. He portrays himself as a moderate, yet he has done a number of demonstrating more extremist behavior.

  1. Banning abortion after 20 weeks. My opinion is that it is no one’s business. I have known women who had to go out of state for an abortion because their fetus had fatal abnormalities. This decision should be up to the patient and doctor. Government has no business in people’s business.

  2. Department of Education. He appointed Edelbutt to be the secretary. A man who homeschools his children and has never had any experience in public education. His policies of school choice is aimed to defund our already suffering schools. Those who could well afford private schools can dip into that money.

  3. Appointments to the state Supreme Court. The conservative judges have been sideline with corporations—look at the St. Gobain’s water pollution fiasco. Merrimack residents are unable to get the aid they need for the contaminated water that St. Gobain created. This is just one example of what the state Supreme Court has done.

  4. Cutting taxes to corporations and the rich, while cutting services. Our social service safety net for our state’s most fragile has suffered. Children, elderly and mentally ill people have had numerous cuts in services, while others enjoy tax cuts.

  5. Refusal to legalize marijuana. I personally do not partake of the drug. I appreciate its benefits for those who benefit from it. Legalizing it, the state could reap the benefits from taxation. I personally think that we could have had dispensaries that were state run, just like our liquor stores.

  6. He seems to think that if he gets photo ops around the state, that’s governing.

  7. He has flip flopped over quite a few issues.

Those are just a few off the top of my head.

I happily pay my property taxes because I know the bulk go to education. We need to make sure our youth is educated, even though the gop is trying to destroy our education. I am also very happy to pay my taxes for infrastructure and for our emergency services.

Unlike the billionaires, I believe in being a responsible citizen. They think they are playing monopoly.

I enjoyed the White Arrow trail. One does not have to pay for parking, and the halfway point was an area that used to be a hotel. It is the most direct to the summit and isn’t too busy. The other trails that start in the main parking lot can be pretty busy.
