Concerns about a government that can’t work together to solve problems and possible cuts to valuable federal programs were top concerns of about a dozen North Country businessmen who met Thursday with Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R).
“Our whole society and our economy needs greater confidence,” said Peter Powell, a realtor from Lancaster who attended the meeting held by the North Country Council in Bethlehem.
Powell said a serious problem is the “Senate and the House, where many of us have lost confidence in those institutions and are frankly frustrated and sometimes embarrassed by what we are seeing, the stalemates and the grandstanding and the ideology run amuck is really contrary to the best interests of New Hampshire,” said Powell.
