CONWAY — Local business owners are facing a variety of challenges, from unvaccinated workers, to federal aid red tape, to supply chain shortages, and U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas (D-Manchester) heard all about it during a stop in the Mount Washington Valley last Friday.

In attendance at a roundtable at the Technology Village were Mt. Washington Valley Economic Council Executive Director Jack Cuddy, Rugged Mill owners Matt and Carissa Fusco, Ambix President Jeff Nicoll, Red Parka Pub co-owner Terry O'Brien, SAU 9 Superintendent Kevin Richard, Eastern Slope Inn marketing director Ace Tarberry.

Does anyone honestly believe that the very Federal Gov't that caused or created these problems will now be able to fix them?

And they have the nerve to suggest increasing the visa program as a solution?

How about stopping all of the "assistance" and letting the Laws of Economics fix the problems naturally?

If people stop getting free money, just maybe they will return to work.

And maybe stop the lunatic quarantine "guidelines" and use common sense testing measures instead.
