Today the Derry News posted an editorial regarding the budget fight in the town of Derry, New Hampshire. You see, the Derry Town Council wants to do something so shocking it’s almost unheard of – they want to actually cut taxes for residents!

The town of Derry has one of the highest tax rates in the entire state of New Hampshire. The Derry News editorial is severely lacking in facts and the unions in Derry aren’t telling the truth. Almost every single year since 2007, taxes have been increased. In 2007 the tax rate was $22.05/$1,000 and in 2013 it was $31.49/$1,000. During recent town election, the biggest gripe residents had was the tax rate is too high. Town council members ran on the promise they would cut taxes and indeed they are keeping their promise.

While torturing myself listening to this morning’s painful budget session in the House, I also was watching Twitter. You wouldn’t believe (actually you probably would) the Democrats and ‘gimmie, gimmie’ more tweets that are being put out there.

Today the New Hampshire House Education Committee the executive session was held on Senate Bill 101 (SB 101). It is a bill that will prohibit the state from requiring the implantation of Common Core. The bill is sponsored by Republicans in both the senate and the house. It was sought after by parents across the Granite State who are already experiencing the nightmare and lowered standards of Common Core.

I almost feel a little sorry for Dennis Senibaldi. The first rule any public official should follow is to never use intimidation or bullying against a writer or blogger with a fairly decent-sized audience.

The second rule any public official should follow is to never comment on articles or blogs that show them in a negative light if they still cannot back themselves up.

Senibaldi and Letizio both broke rule #1. Senibaldi broke rule #2 today when he decided to comment on my blog showing his intimidation against my editors by demanding they take down my articles.

And of course I am going to share them here for all to see.

As you have probably seen in other posts, I have written extensively over the past few months about the Windham School Board and then added more posts regarding the school board elections. Dennis Senibaldi is a member of the Windham School Board. Al Letizio Jr is a Windham Selectman. Both men are elected officials who hold public office.

There seems to be a lot of faux outrage over Indiana passing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.  Not only do 19 other states have similar laws but Bill Clinton passed the RFRA in 1993 when DEMOCRATS were in the majority in Congress.

NOTE: This is being added to GraniteGrok due to the bullying of Dennis Senibaldi and Al Letizio.  This post was removed from Examiner because Senibaldi complained.  Of course, everything in this article is linked back to factual documentation. 

Last night Windham voters decidedly voted to rid the school board of Chairman Jerry Rekart and member Mike Joanis. Tom Murray and Daniel Popovici-Muller were the winners of those races. If you recall, the race became quite sleazy over the weekend when Windham Selectman Al Letizio Jr made outrageous accusations against Murray regarding an endorsement. Apparently sleaze and corruption aren’t what Windham voters are looking for in school board candidates.

Although Cenergistic has pulled its proposal out of the Windham School District for consideration, there is other interesting information that was discovered through a Right-to-Know request.  If you recall, Cenergistic proposed a $577,000 contract to “change energy behavior” in the Windham School District.  The proposal was literally shoved through the Windham School Board without the members reviewing the contract and without public input.

Today the New Hampshire House Criminal Justice Committee hearing on SB 116 aka the ‘Constitutional Carry’ bill was heard. As usual it was filled with a majority of 2nd Amendment supporters and activists. There were also the lobbyists paid to speak against Granite Staters’ rights as well as Mike Bloomberg’s Moms Demand Action groupies. And what a show they gave.

For the past few weeks this author has been investigating the Salem School Administration from a right-to-know request that was actually sent on February 8th.

Today the New Hampshire GOP held a grassroots training event featuring Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a potential 2016 Presidential candidate. In case you don’t yet know Walker, he’s the Governor from Wisconsin who fought against egregious union behavior that was ripping off the taxpayers. Unions literally threatened businesses; some Democrat Legislators fled the state and they tried to siege the capitol building.

Of course, if you know the story, you know Walker not only handily beat a recall election but he won re-election as well. Unions gave the country a good glimpse of their outrageous bullying behavior during that time. Oh and the cherry on top? Walker signed a right-to-work bill in Wisconsin last week.

Yesterday Senate Democrats in New Hampshire voted to update banking laws with the passage of Senate Bill 188. Apparently they wanted to update laws that have been on the books for 100 years.

He spoke about his fight against the Brady bill in the Supreme Court of the United States and how he won that fight.

Yesterday the Vice Chairman of the Board of Selectman in Windham, New Hampshire posted some ridiculous accusations against Tom Murray, candidate for school board, on his official Facebook page. Al Letizio Jr is supporting the current Windham School Board members up for re-election Jerry Rekart and Mike Joanis. If you recall, both of these men voted for the almost $600,000 Cenergistic contract before even reviewing the contract.

Senator Pierce made a complete fool out of himself during the vote on SB 116, aka ‘Constitutional Carry’, by claiming that it wasn’t a ‘Women’s Rights’ issue.  He insulted New Hampshire women and appears to be the ‘king’ of deciding what issues are women’s rights issues.

Yesterday Bill Wynne of Goffstown Today posted video of the New Hampshire Senate vote on SB 116. The video is almost 50 minutes with Susan Olsen from the Women’s Defense League of New Hampshire reporting at the beginning and end. As previously reported, the bill, aka “Constitutional Carry” was passed along party lines by a vote of 14-9. There was a lot of misinformation spread from New Hampshire Senate Democrat David Pierce which has already been debunked.

On Thursday the New Hampshire Senate voted on SB 116, aka ‘Constitutional Carry’. During the process, senators had the chance to discuss the bill. It was quite interesting listening to Senator David Pierce, who is already under fire for voting against the bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Pierce and the rest of the New Hampshire Senate Democrats seem to have an extremely low opinion of their constituents.

There are two types of gun control extremists – those who willfully LIE about facts and statistics and those who are simply dumber than a box of rocks.  In New Hampshire we have both varieties.

I realize these people have no control over their willful ignorance but it’s actually embarrassing.
