Governor Sununu Kills Toll Increase Proposal
CONCORD, NH – There will not be an increase in toll prices in New Hampshire. Governor Chris Sununu announced that he will not allow the toll increase that the Department of Transportation had proposed.
In New Hampshire the governor controls what items appear on the agenda of Executive Council meetings, and he also has the power to negate a council vote.
The proposal would have raised an estimated $37 million annually by increasing toll amounts statewide.
It was originally set to be voted on by the Executive council earlier this month. However at the request of the DOT the vote was postponed till January to allow for public comments on the issue.
The Governor said in a statement “After hearing from citizens across the state, reviewing feedback from the public comment sessions, and conferring with members of the Executive Council following yesterday’s final GACIT hearing, my position has not changed. Had the Council ultimately voted in favor of toll increases, I would have negated their vote. Dragging this process out is not productive. As such, I will not allow this toll increase to move forward. I was sent to Concord to fight for the working men and women of New Hampshire, and that is what I am doing. Merry Christmas”
The Governor also created the hashtag nocoalnotolls on his facebook page.
Wolfeboro Woman Convicted Of Animal Cruelty Will Not Be Serving Jail Time
OSSIPEE, NH – The woman convicted of the animal cruelty of dozens of Great Danes in Wolfeboro will not serve any jail time. Thursday morning a judge sentenced Christina Fay to 12 months suspended and pay $800,000 in restitutions.
The Judge also ordered that she would be able to keep only one spayed or neutered dog of her choosing and that she can only own one animal at a time for the rest of her life.
Fay’s lawyers said earlier this week that she plans to appeal the ruling. The judge ruled that is Fay does appeal she will have to post a bond of $2,000 per dog.
In June 75 Great Danes were seized from Fay’s Wolfeboro mansion and 9 were seized from her property in Bartlett. Wolfeboro Police said the animals were suffering from health problems and living in their own waste.
Wolfeboro Police Chief Dean Rondeau said in a press release “The Wolfeboro Police Department is delighted with the sentence ordered by Honorable Judge Greenhalgh, which is consistence with the Rule of Law, fairness and equability. We hope the Defendant accepts the court rulings and moves on from here.”
Fryeburg Police Issue Holiday Cheer Instead Of Tickets
FRYEBURG, MAINE – Fryeburg Police Officers have been issuing holiday spirit instead of citations. Most of the time when someone gets pulled over the last thing they want to do is hug the officer, however that wasn’t the case in Fryeburg this week. As unsuspecting drivers were pulled over they ended up receiving gift certificates instead of tickets.
The gift certificates, which included signed messages from full time officers, were donated by local businesses in support of the Police Departments goal of giving back during the holiday season.
Fryeburg Police Chief Joshua Potvin said that the traffic stops were for minor traffic violations and it is up to the officer’s discretion whether to give a gift.
Chief Potvin said “First reactions so far have been pretty emotional. Most drivers have either asked if they can have a hug or just say they just want to hug us and do it. This is what community policing is all about.” adding ““We wanted to do something during this holiday season to give back to our citizens.”
One recipient of the holiday treat was so overwhelmed with joy that he can be seen giving Chief Josh Potvin and Sergeant Heidi Johnston a hug on body cam footage.
The recipient later commentedt on the Fryeburg police Facebook page saying aid “I am still speechless by the random act of kindness from the Fryeburg Police Department today. I appreciate all that you do to keep us safe. Thank you again, not only for the card, but also helping restore my faith in humanity.”

New Hampshire Not Joining Lawsuit On Net Neutrality
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s attorney general says the state is not joining with others in suing the Federal Communications Commission for repealing “net neutrality” rules.
The state’s all-Democratic Congressional delegation wrote to Republican Gov. Chris Sununu and Attorney General Gordon MacDonald last week after the Republican-controlled FCC voted to scrap an Obama-era rule that guaranteed equal access to the internet.
MacDonald responded that federal telecommunications policy and regulations is a matter reserved for Congress and federal agencies and thus, “is outside the jurisdiction and expertise” of his office.
Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, and Reps. Annie Kuster and Carol Shea-Porter expressed their disappointment Tuesday. They said the repeal poses a threat to business innovation and the consumer experience online. They said they’re supportive of legislative efforts to reverse the FCC decision, but that doesn’t preclude the state from leading efforts.
