At a press conference last week, Gov. Chris Sununu said that “any long-term care facilities that need help and assistance … we’re going to be there for them.” Unfortunately, what our governor says does not match what he does. When we ask for help in the North Country, our voices are not heard.

When the COVID-19 outbreak hit the Coos County Nursing Hospital in West Stewartstown, Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier (also vice-chair of County Commission) called on Gov. Sununu for assistance with critical staffing. The state rejected the request and offered little help to mitigate the outbreak.
