The Concord Monitor cites a statement Janeway made at a recent press conference, in which he said people who support expanded offshore drilling are &#8220;wacko&#8221;. National polls have shown a wide majority of Americans support offshore drilling, as part of a comprehensive plan to bring down the cost of gasoline and home heating oil.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Harold Janeway needs a lesson in respect. For him to call people who support drilling &#8216;wackos&#8217; is shameful and insulting,&#8221; Sanborn said. &#8220;I&#8217;m looking forward to debating Harold Janeway on the issues in a respectful way, free from these pot-shot insults to New Hampshire voters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sanborn has criticized Janeway for his support of a 17.5% state budget increase, including nearly half a billion dollars in increased spending. Janeway also supports a statewide income tax, hiding his support by claiming Governor John Lynch would veto such a tax. Sanborn&#8217;s criticism of Janeway&#8217;s record extends to Janeway&#8217;s role as a trustee on the New Hampshire Retirement System. Janeway recently approved a $90,000 golden parachute for an employee who quit after only five months on the job.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Harold Janeway&#8217;s extreme liberal agenda is out of touch with New Hampshire values, and bad for New Hampshire,&#8221; Sanborn continued. <strong>&#8220;He thinks anyone who supports drilling is a wacko. I&#8217;d hate to think what he thinks of people who don&#8217;t support his radical Income Tax plan.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more information on Sanborn&#8217;s campaign, go to http:\/\/www.Andy4Senate.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE: Janeway Calls New Hampshire Voters &#8220;Wacko&#8221; For Immediate Release September 22, 2008 For more information, contact Brett Bosse: (603) 995-9284 Janeway Calls New Hampshire Voters &#8220;Wacko&#8221; Insults anyone who supports offshore drilling (Loudon) \u2014 State Senate candidate Andy Sanborn has chided Harold Janeway for his callous insult to people who support drilling for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,47,71,46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles-nh","category-friends-and-foes","category-governor-watch","category-media-gaffes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cnht.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cnht.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cnht.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cnht.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cnht.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cnht.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5245,"href":"https:\/\/www.cnht.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285\/revisions\/5245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cnht.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cnht.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cnht.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
