After a crowd of disruptive protesters led to the postponement of an Executive Council meeting in New Hampshire in late September, Governor Chris Sununu and councilors returned to the table on Wednesday to discuss the focus of the outbursts: whether to approve vaccination contracts that included millions in federal funding.
But in a scene emblematic of a larger debate over vaccine mandates brewing across the country — from vitriolic attacks against state and health officials to disorderly conduct at local school and town meetings — an unruly group again made an appearance, and the council rejected the funding in a 4-1 party-line vote.
The vote against the two contracts including $27 million in federal funding that would have boosted the state’s vaccination effort against the coronavirus took place despite the urging of Republican Sununu to accept the money, reported WMUR News 9.
“I appreciate you have reservations, but they’re based on fantasy,” Sununu directed to Republican councilor Dave Wheeler at one point.
It was a contentious gathering, according to local media outlets, with Sununu repeatedly fielding requests to “stand up” against vaccine mandates and appearing perplexed by the decision of the Republican councilors to deny the funds.
Only one councilor, Democrat Cinde Warmington, voted in favor of the funding. She accused her Republican colleagues of politicizing the matter, WMUR reported, as they voted to side with the protesters — a handful of whom were arrested. One of the objectors from the previous meeting had allegedly warned of a “civil war” on Facebook if the funds were accepted.

And of course the son of a RINO thought that would be a great idea!
They did the right thing.
Yep.
Sununu translates from New Hampshire-speak to “Kennedy” in Mass-speak,
Can we stop with the BS dynasties in this country?
I'm pretty sure that means you actually DON'T appreciate/understand my reservations.
Trading freedom for alleged security is a time-honored way to go to Hades.
Unlike Cheney and Bush, Sununu lives on a minor political branch of a RINO family tree. Altho he is poison to the people of NH, his venom is contained. He’s another example of a Republican I would refuse to vote for.
New Hampshire won’t vote for someone much more conservative than Sununu.
He should run for the senate. Wouldn’t Ayotte be better than Shaheen right now? She fell 600 votes short thanks to you folks. Let Trump-like leaders deal with them.
By accepting this 27 million from the feds the state of NH would have given up its sovereignty in regards to vaccines and mandates.
The original executive council meeting a couple weeks ago was postponed when several hundred demonstrators showed up(including my wife, daughter and a couple other friends).
They moved the meeting to the Concord Police academy instead because Sununu the Rino was scared.
However, the vote did not go his way. So, he had nine demonstrators arrested for absolutely no reason. There are videos that people took of the proceedings. Sununu had the state police arrest nine people just because he did not get his way.
Keep in mind, Sununu is running for US Senator against Maggie Hassan(dem). He was probably told if he wanted support of the right people, he needed to take the federal money.
I live in the horrible state to the south of you. Sorry about sending Scott Brown and his wife up there. Hope she loses the congressional primary.
It’s like taking a loan from your local neighborhood kneecap breaker. Some people you just don’t want to be on the hook to.
Who is really politicizing it?
Sununu…the family that put Breyer on SCOTUS.
They should be driven from politics on a rail.
L
“politicizing the matter”???
You stupid broad, the regime has politicized it from day one.
Refuse $$ tainted by this scam. Show some spine.
Sununu needs to start reading license plates in NH.
Live Free or Die.
Now THAT is really funny!!! Were you talking to me? ROFL!!!
Son like father.
The Sununu’s are RINOs.
New England style RINOs.
Always have been.
Sununus are Deep State.
Does anyone have actual text of the "deal"?
Agreed this is very good news!!
