Manchester Rotary Club

MANCHESTER--Before laying out his legislative accomplishments over the past six years, U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) told a local business club that he is looking forward to the remaining days of his re-election campaign.

"As I've pointed out to people having gone through a long campaign for 12, 14 months, really the last 2 or 3 weeks are the most exciting and invigorating part of the campaign because it's an opportunity where most of the organizational work and the fundraising work is completed," Sununu said at a meeting of the Manchester Rotary Club. "I get to focus exclusively on talking to people and campaigning town-to-town."

MANCHESTER- At a Manchester Rotary Club meeting, former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) said the two most important issues affecting small businesses is the rising cost of energy prices and health care.

"Small businesses and families are struggling and they feel like Washington isn't paying attention," Shaheen said. "Gas prices are unbearably high, health care costs are increasing and people are legitimately worried about how high heating fuel will get this winter."
