Letter: Is this what you expected, governor?

Published: 03-12-2025 4:09 PM

Is this what you expected, Gov. Kelly Ayotte, when you courted President Trump’s support for your campaign, then turned and supported him? The tariffs he is imposing on Mexico and Canada are going to affect the lumber industry. Canadians are bypassing New Hampshire ski resorts in protest and booing our national anthem at hockey games. He’s cutting services to the vulnerable and proposing major cuts in education funding. Our state has been welcoming to LGBTQ+, but now he’s going to cut federal funding if we don’t comply with his erasure of certain programs and policies. If you sign into law expanded voucher programs, it’s the children who will suffer. Don’t you care about them? Actually, what do you care about, governor? It’s becoming clear that your vision of our state as ”the New Hampshire advantage” isn’t doing us much good at all.
