Too bad, although anyone with a functioning brain has known for at least a couple decades power is over priced. That and NH has a less than stellar track record with supporting businesses. No one, it seems, is really willing to do anything more than offer lip service. I wouldn't look for any progress under our new RINO governor. He's the GOPE alternative for positive progress.

The article also mentions a shortage of skilled labor. I wonder if the problem is less about skill and more about how applicants live their lives: can't pass the drug/criminal background checks.

They are following close on the move of their ammunition plant in Kentucky to Little Rock (Jacksonville) as well.

Cost of electricity is through the roof here in NH.

Not only do we have a RINO governor, NH has a totally demonrat congressional delegation. Both congressmen and both senators are demonrats, and the rattiest most demonic of demonrats.

That means we, as a state, are completely disenfranchised from the next session of Congress.

Our NH delegation will work diligently to oppose everything that Trump tries to do, and our governor may as well be a demonrat, too, since he’s part of the republicrat establishment.

What a sorry state.

I wouldn’t begrudge any business from moving out of here.

Roughly 30% of the population of Jacksonville is black. I'd venture Sig Sauer is taking a significant gamble in that location.

"The article also mentions a shortage of skilled labor. I wonder if the problem is less about skill and more about how applicants live their lives: can't pass the drug/criminal background checks."

The Pee test is becoming a barrier. One of my gnomes who have spoken about Colorado and their nonsense ( on a national format ) noted it is just a matter of time when the piss test is sent up through the courts. It is that point we are more screwed than we realize.

I can't speak about the skilled labor in NH, I'll have to call my contact their, although I head certain areas are screaming for apprentices.

Onto Energy.

Jeff Kuhner was talking about it Friday and how MASS is taking it the shorts as well. With their all green or nothing attitude, shutting all the Nuclear plants in MA & VT, closing of a Coal fired unit or two, buying all their electricity from Canada, and turning down a gas pipeline what the h@!! do they expect?

Co-Generation / Combined Cycle burning Natural Gas is probably New England's most cost effective alternative, but given their NIMBY as well, good luck with that...

The two previous governors, Shaheen and Hasan set up the increasing power costs for New Hampshire.

Now, they are both senators and trying to do to the USA what they did to New Hampshire.

Hasan wouldn’t have won if McCain’s lapdog, Ayotte, hadn’t stabbed Trump in the back.

Went and looked at a P226 yesterday. Love the double/single action but it is a bit bigger that I was looking for.

I miss the days when German made products were reasonably priced.

Around 20 years ago I saw a Herters .401 Powermag revolver on a table at a gun show. It also had a set of dies and some empty cases.

I can remember seeing them in the Herters Catalog in the 1960s. The price was low and of course Herters claimed it was the greatest thing in the world.

After examining that one, I wish I had bought one. They were beautifully made by J.P.Sauer and Son in Germany.
