turkey and tax increases

While you were spending your time with family and doing your best to avoid contentious political debates at the dinner table, a $36 million tax increase proposal advanced to the New Hampshire Executive Council.

Chris Pappas will cast the deciding vote on the first turnpike toll hike in ten years – and he clearly wants to keep his position under wraps now that he’s running for Congress…

Nancy Pelosi has already anointed Pappas as her chosen candidate and conducted polling without mentioning any of his primary opponents. She did the same thing with Jim Craig in 2006, who lost to Carol Shea-Porter.

With Pelosi already pulling Pappas’s strings, he’s avoiding the topic like I avoided doing the dishes last Thursday.
