1. Governor Chris Sununu made national headlines as one of the first Governors banning Russian Vodka at State liquor stores. Sununu signed an executive order Saturday notifying State Liquor and Wine Outlets to remove Russian-made and branded spirits, including Russian beer and wines. Alcoholic spirits from Russia that come through the state have been removed from shelves state-wide, Sununu told News 9, adding that it's not only a symbolic move to support Ukraine, but "could have some impact" on the Russian liquor industry, he said.
