Robert Woodward: Best chance of restoring Gunstock's success is September primary

To The Daily Sun,

Look at the mess Norm Silber and his "control group" ("I must have control") has created at Gunstock. Their slavish adherence to their ideology forces them to insist that Gunstock be privatized. The success of Gunstock, disproving that ideology, does not alter their position. If anyone thinks they are now wringing their hands over the latest turmoil be warned that they are instead rubbing their hands with glee. Create chaos. Sabotage Gunstock. Then they get to say "I told you so." They don't care about the economic impact on this region, the families that use it, or that their behavior requires the attention of the governor. They care only about themselves.

Our county delegation never had the political acuity to realize that Gunstock is "the third rail" of Belknap County politics. Touch it at your own peril. First they tried to sabotage the nursing home by cutting off the patients' oxygen supply, now Gunstock. Voters need to understand their best chance to rid us of this disfunction in government is the primary in September. Although at this point, I think even I could beat them in November.
