Guest former Laconia Mayor Thomas A. Tardif joins us for the full first hour. Among the topics we'll touch in a "roundtable" discussion during which we'll encourage phone calls:
- Our RTK case that we argued before the NH Supreme Court Thursday involving Belknap County's closed-door appointment of a new Sheriff and the denial of documents in the same case.
- The ongoing brouhaha over the termination of the powerful Gilford Town Administrator. His defenders continue to cry "foul" while pointing to assumed RTK law violations. The big question is, "Why now?" Why did the terminated Town Administrator level "charges" a mere three days before the election?
- The troubles for Belknap County don't end with the secret Sheriff appointment. We are awaiting further response from AG Ayotte regarding the flawed budgeting and borrowing processes used by the county as well. Additionally, Skip has a bone to pick with the County Administrator regarding a RTK request. We don't really mean to pile on, but, what else can we do? Somebody needs to start paying attention to this level of government, as its costs, unlike local towns and cities, continue to rise much faster than the rate of inflation.
We'll even touch upon the city budget process in Laconia, time permitting. Whew!
Congressional candidate Grant Bosse checks in to talk about his piece in this week's Union Leader regarding government "stimulus".
- Guests Gilford Superintendent of Schools Dr. Paul DeMinico and HS Principal Mr. Ken Wiswell will join us in studio for some in-depth discussion about everybody's favorive whipping-boy, the "No Child Left Behind Act" (NCLB). We'll also talk about the latest drive to attain "International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme" (IB) status here in Gilford (GG post here. related SB minutes here and here) and elsewhere in the state. Again, this should be an interesting conversation, and we encourage listeners to join in during the program by calling the phone number as announced.
There you have it! It all starts at 9AM EST Saturday. Tune in if you're in Central NH at NewsTalk 1490AM WEMJ or live on the 'Net here... The best radio (in our humble opinions) anywhere...
