New Hampshire I-89: RFP! Yes!

[cmaster]

I am finally ecstatic that this is coming to fruition. I am so P*offed by the way this state is with its sluggishness to use the "FEDERAL" money exclusively for building out EVs infrastructure. It's not funded by the State's budget. Come on! I was about to head to the sustainability group, and my municipality to speak negatively about these scumbags politicians to pick up their pace!

I'm glad something has finally started since 2018!? The 5 years taxpayer's money and time to ask for some support I think is so wasteful to us taxpayers. They even increased a substantial amount of property taxes too. Screw them!

NH is so F***ked up with their backwards conservative policy. I'm so pissed off for their stupidity. Adding all the years up spending money on these politicians, you could've paid for the DCFC 5x the amount already. Geeze.
