To the editor:
I picked up your publication to see how the economy in New Hampshire is doing and to understand how your paper is pushing the economy in New Hampshire.
I was disappointed when I got to the Flotsam and Jetsam page. I would guess 90 percent of the comments were about the GOP. The economy requires all parties working together. I am tired of publications pushing their agenda. I am sure I could gather just as many comments about the Democrats and independents if I looked.
In my opinion, until the people pushing the news start becoming more independent again, you will find the voters continuing to be apathetic about where we are going as a country.
I picked up one edition of your paper and will likely not do so again. The main reason being that I do not read news to have someone else's agenda pushed upon me. Papers need to provide the facts and let the people make their opinions. When I cannot trust the independence of editorials, I cannot trust the integrity of the rest of the news.

Business growth is exciting. A big contract comes through, a new customer relationship takes off or marketing is delivering the results you expected. Financing can be a critical resource to sustain the growth. But from a lender’s perspective, growth financing is about more than momentum. The real question is whether the business can support that growth — and repay the debt that may come with it.
TECHNOLOGY By: Rep. Keith Ammon I recently returned from the D.C. Blockchain Summit, where I had the opportunity to sit on a panel alongside policymakers and industry leaders from across the country. One thing was clear: States are no longer…
