4. Sununu has passed some really bad provisions this year,

including new abortion restrictions and this. The Republicans have tried to pass this “religious freedom” law for years. All it’s going to do is further erode state funding of public education, which has been woefully inadequate for decades. NH is last in the country for state support of public colleges; property taxes are very high to support public education at the local level, because state funding is so low. This ruling is a win for the conservative minority and wealthy citizens who utilize private and religious schools, and a loss for most of the rest.
NH currently has a Republican governor and state legislature, which is why all these things have passed. Sununu is planning to possibly run against Maggie Hassan for US Senate.
