NH state is no longer going to hell in a hand basket because it is already there. While the state's population is aging rapidly, and families are no longer moving into NH with children as they once did, the NH's governor apparently now is expecting the state, with a population of only 1,363, 852, to now actally survive on an early 19th century state budget, now in the 21st century. But back then a loaf of bread would only cost 10 cents while rent was only anywhere between $10 to $20 per week.
WHILE SANUNU IS ON HIS THIRD BUDGET CUT
In 2019, In Depth NH reported, "Since taking office Chris Sununu has given himself a $22,000 pay raise and plans on getting another $13,000 raise on top of it this year – all at taxpayers’ expense.
At the same time, Sununu has already made clear that he opposes giving Granite State families a raise and has said flat out that New Hampshire shouldn’t have a minimum wage at all."
"Chris Sununu has already made clear that he opposes giving Granite State families a raise, after giving himself a massive pay raise at taxpayers’ expense,” said Ray Buckley, chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party. “Chris Sununu has proven time and time again that he’s abusing his position for his own profit at Granite Staters’ expense.”
"Raising the minimum wage is a common sense policy that will help Granite Staters. In fact, more than 100,000 workers in New Hampshire would directly benefit from a $12 minimum wage. And the $7.25 wage hasn’t seen an increase in more than 10 years, even as the cost of living has increased 18 percent.
Sanunu continues to falsely preach, "New Hampshire’s Economy is booming, our Government is increasingly efficient and nimble, and our demographics are becoming younger and more diverse. The strong management reflected has resulted in dividends which will be reinvested in areas from education, to housing, to transportation, to critical state facilities and systems. We have an amazing opportunity to use these surplus funds to make strategic one-time investments that ensure that New Hampshire remains the national standard for a small, effective, responsive, government."
Is that what their calling giving yourself a raise these days? Does he actually live in NH? However Sanunu also is the same man who in a 2018 internet commercial, was gleefully smiling while swinging his arms up in the air, when telling everyone, "NH has never been better."
This is also the same man who just recently said on August 1st, that a public hearing was "Political theatrics," while clearly to busy to attend. Apparently because he was holding his own more important meeting at the same time, to only ask business executives for their support. What is he going to sell to us next, that he is the "CHOSEN ONE." It's high time NH's government gets their priorities straight.
At the beginning of 2019, it was already reported that NH already started the year with a negative 5.7 percent surplus, so therefore, there are no dividends to "be reinvested in areas from education, to housing, to transportation, to critical state facilities and systems." Let alone any surplus to "make strategic one-time investments that ensure that New Hampshire remains the national standard for a small, effective, responsive, government."
SO EXACTLY WHICH PETER DID NH's GOEVERNMENT EMBEZZLE FROM THIS TIME NOW. TO PAY 'WHAT' PAUL, WHOM SANUNU MYSTERIOUSLY REFERS TO ONLY AS A SECRET "ONE TIME INVESTMENT?"
AND WHO, WHAT AND WHERE EXACTLY, DID THOSE MYSTERIOUS SECRET UNNAMED INVESTMENTS BENEFIT, THAT HE SO CLAIMS SHOWED IMPROVEMENTS IN NH IN 2018 BECAUSE OF IT. THAT NOW APPARENTLY HAS SO MIRACULOUSLY APPEARED?
Well if anything has been made very clear at all, it is that gambling clearly is anything but illegal in NH when it is done by the NH state's goverment, using THE ONLY Granite State's resourses.
"Stephen Day, the expert reviewer who oversaw reforms called for in the NH settlement of a 2012 lawsuit by patients and advocates said "the state’s failure to keep its promises had left some patients without treatment, waiting in hospital emergency rooms for high-level care or institutionalized when they could otherwise be receiving care through community clinics and services."
“The time for patience on these issues is over,”
Day wrote even back then. He noted, “the need for the State to be more aggressive, assertive, planful, and timely in its implementation and oversight efforts,” now is still being required several years later even today.
Day, who in his last assessment, also said back then that the state, "has been and currently remains out of compliance”
Clearly THIS supports one major fact, which is that New Hampshire was, and still is, NOW SEVERAL YEARS LATER, not anywhere close to even being near, let alone actually IS of, "national standards for a small, effective, responsive, government."
With a negative 5.7 percent surplus, NH has now become the biggest deficit in New England and the entire northeast. Vermont is -3.8 percent, Massachusetts is -3.5 percent, Maine is -1.8 percent, now in the event, of even having a moderate recession in the economy.
On September 4, 2019, the US Department of Health and Human Services has now reported the "immediate release" of Opiod Response Grant's by state." For SOR year one, NH will be receiving $22,982,608. For SOR supplements, NH will be receiving $11,996,921. For SOR year two, NH will be receiving $22,982, 608. NH can only hope and pray this money goes where it's suppose to go, and not just gamble it away to some other mysterious unknown investment that made unknown improvements to NH state.
THIS IS WHAT "THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR SMALL, EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, GOVERNMENT" REQUIRES?
As of May 28, 2019, NH's DHHS NOW reported that there were already a total of 98 confirmed overdose deaths so far, and 78 cases were still pending according to the DHHS Drug Monitor Initiative Report. The report shows that 17 percent were between the ages of 0-19. Between the ages of 20-29 there were 19 percent of overdose deaths, and between 30-39 there were 31 percent of overdose deaths. While 24 percent were between the ages of 40-49. Between the ages of 50-59 there were 17 percent overdose deaths, while the remainder were all over the age of 60.
THIS IS WHAT "THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR SMALL, EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, GOVERNMENT" REQUIRES?
As of August 14, 2019, a drug death data Report from the NH Department of Justice reports there were 471 drug deaths in 2015, 488 drug deaths in 2016, 439 drug deaths in 2018, and now in 2019, they already reported 184 drug deaths recorded so far. These rates, now once again, have more than doubled the national average.
THIS IS WHAT "THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR SMALL, EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, GOVERNMENT" REQUIRES?
Also in 2019, the National Institute on Drug Abuse has also revised and updated their NH Opiod Summary. Apparently NH's government hasn't reported any updates in Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome after they had already reached 269 babies diagnosed with NAS just in 2015 alone. Once again, doubling the national average but with no further response from NH's government. But then again, pediatric cancer has been substantally increasing for the past 10 years now, still again, doubling the national average, and still without any response as to why.
Now because only 4 percent in federal government grants are given towards research and NH apparently doesn"t have a budget or surplus to put in the rest. Allot of NH's research remains without findings because the state continually runs out of money.
THIS IS WHAT "THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR SMALL, EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, GOVERNMENT" REQUIRES?
On August 29, 2019, World Population review also reported 'All Cancer Types' by state and NH now, once again, has the highest rate in the country now with 480.9 cases of cancer per 100,000. That is almost 50 percent of the entire state of NH now.
THIS IS WHAT THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR SMALL, EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, GOVERNMENT REQUIRES?
Mental Health In America 2019, now reported NH as the only New England state that has the highest prevalence of mental illness with low rates of access to care.
THIS IS WHAT "THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR SMALL, EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, GOVERNMENT" REQUIRES?
They also said in 2019, that the numbers now of, "adult prevalence of mental illness, AMI - All Mental Illnesses, was now 204,000." However, 106,000 reported they did not receive treatment.
THIS IS WHAT "THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR SMALL, EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, GOVERNMENT" REQUIRES?
In 2019, the number of NH adults with substance abuse within the past year totaled 91,000. The number of Adults with serious thoughts of suicide is now 53,000.
THIS IS WHAT "THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR SMALL, EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, GOVERNMENT" REQUIRES?
NH's youth prevalence of mentall illness in 2019 is now 13,000 but also reported that 9,000 of them are already now with severe depressed episodes and rising. The number of NH's youth also with substance abuse is now 5,000 and rising. However, Gov. Sanunu still lowered the drinking age in 2018.
THIS IS WHAT "THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR SMALL, EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, GOVERNMENT" REQUIRES?
For the past 2 years now NH businesses have now been struggling to find qualified laborers, and you don't even have to now ask why that is anymore.
THIS IS WHAT "THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR SMALL, EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, GOVERNMENT" REQUIRES?
the past 20 straight years in a row, NH residents have yet to break their record of having the highest divorce rate in the country. NH is not just unsustainable in drinking water alone, but very clearly is in other areas too.
THIS IS WHAT "THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR SMALL, EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, GOVERNMENT" REQUIRES?
NH WILL STILL ONLY REMAIN TAX FREE WHILE REMAINING FOR ANOTHER 50 YEARS AND COUNTING, IN A SILENT STATE OF EMERGENCY. NOW WHILE THE NH GOVERNOR JUST DELUSIONALLY CONTINUES TO ONLY FALSELY REPORT OTHERWISE.
NH state is no longer going to hell in a hand basket because it is already there. While the state's population is aging rapidly, and families are no longer moving into NH with children as they once did, the NH's governor apparently now is expecting the state, with a population of only 1,363, 852, to now actally survive on an early 19th century state budget, now in the 21st century.

WHILE SANUNU IS ON HIS THIRD BUDGET CUT

And the $7.25 wage hasn’t seen an increase in more than 10 years, even as the cost of living has increased 18 percent.
“It’s time for Sununu to give back his pay raise and give Granite Staters one instead,” said Buckley.
In 2018, "According to Margolin, Vermont has bonded $35 million in addition to another $10 million a year later. Maine bonded $50 million in 2010, and every year had committed between $6 million and $12 million to affordable housing. And Massachusetts bonded 1 billion over 5 years. New Hampshire cames in with the chamber of commerce and asked for $25 million" but the government was only fortunate enough to embezzle a whopping $2.5 million from the budget.
Now On August 6, 2019, according to the Union Leader, "the state budget vetoed by Gov. Chris Sanunu includes (only) about $2 million statewide for affordable housing according to Michael Reinke. In comparison, Reinke said Vermont has a budget with about $7 million reserved for affordable housing."
Gov. Sanunu now calls the public speaking out at a public hearings as nothing more than just "Political Theatrics." But the only real "Political Theatrics" are coming directly from him.
On June 5, 2019, World Population Review reported, "NH has one of the slowest growing rates in the country at just 0.16 which ranks 45th in the country.
They said, "NH has such a small amount of land, much of it rugged terrain, that growth can only be maintained for so long."
They also said, "moving forward, the population of NH grew at a steady, albeit not particularly spectacular rate, with growth only around 5 percent per decade."
In 2018, Elyssa Margolin of Housing Action NH, clearly clarified that the state needs extremely so much more to increase the supply of affordable housing. Apparently the governor doesn't agree.
In 2018, "According to Margolin, Vermont has bonded $35 million in addition to another $10 million a year later.

"The growth rate in NH is now the slowest it has been in 50 years. While the state's population is also aging rapidly as families are not moving in with children as they once did." According to World Population Review.
Sanunu continues to falsely preach, "New Hampshire’s Economy is booming, our Government is increasingly efficient and nimble, and our demographics are becoming younger and more diverse.
