(Manchester, NH) - The Berlin Daily Sun reports today that state elected officials and a Laconia businessman denounced John Sununu's health care proposal yesterday, pointing out that the proposal would hurt small businesses in the state and "preempt state insurance laws and change rates based on a person's age or health status." [Berlin Daily Sun, 7/15/08] State Senators Martha Fuller Clark and Pete Burling joined Representative and Senate candidate Martha McLeod and Laconia businessman Pat Wood in opposing Sununu's proposal because it would drive insurance costs up, similar to when the state "repealed the community rating system, in 2003, allowing insurance companies to vary insurance rates based on the health of the workers."

Sununu's solution: Bring down the cost of gas by two cents ... in the year 2031

(Manchester, NH) - The Union Leader reported yesterday that an economic report shows that in towns like Littleton, "The high cost of fuel is affecting many segments of the local economy, from Main Street businesses to the tax base...." Soaring gas prices pose a looming crisis, and John Sununu has only been part of the problem, voting for a partisan plan to drill for oil in Alaska that would only bring down the cost of gas by two cents per gallon.
