Tough times ahead for many NH families
As 2025 comes to an end, many Granite Staters are feeling the same things. Groceries cost more. Housing costs and property taxes are up. Health care is harder to afford and access.
In praise of ‘steely independence’
To the editor:
I know the New England Council and its work. It is a fine organization, in my opinion. However, Chief Executive Jim Brett’s op-ed (“New England: many voices, one region,” Oct. 26-Nov. 8 New Hampshire Business Review) on the virtues of the congressional delegates from the six states acting in concert — to imitate California and Texas, say what!?!! — is as welcome as a skunk at a lawn party.
Steely independence is about all that has ever bound New England together. No amount of wishful thinking will change that, and we can thank heaven.
