Letter: Benson returns
Published: 01-13-2025 4:57 PM |
If you like Elon Musk, you’ll love Craig Benson. Not because Benson had the same success in business, but because they both share a brashness and huge ego, a total disregard for open government and conflicts of interest. Let’s remember that Benson was the first governor in 80 years to lose his re-election bid after serving only one term. And it wasn’t because he was rich. John Lynch who succeeded Benson and had plenty of wealth, served for four terms. Lynch left office as one of New Hampshire’s most popular governors. The last thing we need in Concord is the return of Benson, who used his own money to pay “volunteers” to do work for state government out of sight from the public.
And it’s not like the Republicans haven’t had control of state government. Is Ayotte bringing in Benson because Sununu and the Republican-led House and Senate wasted our money? Or is it one more attempt by her to prostrate herself in front of Trump because she told the truth about him. Just what New Hampshire needs, another pompous person. Full of himself because he has more money than you do. Telling you he should pay less and you should pay more.
