Ex-governor blames state budget and gay marriage on Legislature serving special interests
PORTSMOUTH — John H. Sununu, former Republican governor and current chairman of the state GOP, said Thursday the state budget passed by the Legislature this week is a deliberate step by Democrats toward a state income tax.
And, he said, the time the Legislature spent on social issues — particularly the passage of a same-sex marriage law — is a kickback to “radical left groups” from out of state that funded Democrats’ campaigns in 2006 and 2008.
