Weicker was from Connecticut (defeated by Lieberman in 1988, I believe). Campaigned for on a “no state income tax” platform for governor, then instituted a state income tax as soon as he was elected. Also was directly responsible for the Hartford Whalers moving to North Carolina. I wish he was from New Hampshire. :)

You are right! I missed that. I’ll have to check, but I’m pretty sure Reagan identified him as “N.H.”
