CONCORD – New Hampshire’s Democratic legislative leadership sued Republican Gov. Chris Sununu Monday asking a judge to force him to obtain Fiscal Committee approval before spending any COVID-19 relief dollars. The top two presiding officers and two budget writers filed an emergency motion in Hillsborough County Superior Court North (Snip) The suit came on the first business day after the Fiscal Committee held its most recent meeting last Friday and members heard Sununu assert that the state’s emergency powers law gives him the sound legal footing to make these spending decisions without approval of the Democratic-controlled fiscal panel.

Okay, class - what does the legislature do? Writes laws. What does the executive branch do? Confirms laws and carries out enforcement and day - to - day operations. Does the legislative branch tell the police, fire, ambulance, hospital, etc workers what to do on a daily basis? - no. If they want to get involved in something, they pass a law. That is their function. I guess this junior high lesson never got taught to the Democrats in New Hampshire.

It would seem the Dems could tell the Gov how he can spend state funds since those funds are part of a state budget with state funds. But, these are federal funds, not state funds. Will be interesting how the judge rules on this.

They still don't get that they are setting precedents for themselves, trying to usurp the powers of the governor. Karma bites hard democrats, just remember that when the republicans do the same thing to you.

Convince me that a slowdown in COVID-19 control and vaccine research is not an orchestrated democrat plan. They see major money floating around and must have a piece.
