MicroGroks
You know that we Groksters will call out malice on either side of the aisle when appropriate, and this time it’s a Republican who has earned the spotlight. A representative from one of the most republican districts in New Hampshire has put in two very, very, anti-liberty bills. One of those bills will create a …
Campaign Finance Reports! Yay! (Sarcasm, sort of.) There is usually a lot of material that comes out of campaign finance reports for State races, which we’ve written about before. Yesterday’s filings show that one NH Senator, Shannon Chandley, raised only $5 in district. Five bucks. Related: SoS Website – Search Filed Reports That doesn’t include …
Governor Sununu was forced to veto a slew of bills in 2019 that would have increased or created taxes. In 2020, he’ll likely be made to do it again. Two democrats propose a NH Sales Tax of 4.3% in addition to all the other new taxes and tax increases that will inevitably reach the Governor’s …

Legislative Service Requests (LSRs) are turning into bills now, with numbers, titles, and text. They’re coming in fast now, with hundreds already assigned numbers and committees for legislative work in January.

And, gosh darn capitalism came to the rescue again! In this case, the Copper Door saves the day. New Hampshire has an unemployment rate …
Vehicle safety inspections don’t accomplish what they’re supposed to, and 36 states don’t have periodic safety inspections for passenger vehicles according to Wikipedia. A bill introduced this year in New Hampshire would similarly do away with our annual safety inspections. So, should NH repeal vehicle inspections? House Bill 1114, sponsored by Rep. Conley (Prime), Straf. …
An embattled superintendent gets a ‘no confidence’ vote by the teacher’s union, the school board investigates itself, and resignations amass in Milford. ‘Milford Strong’ makes its appearance on T-shirts and bumper stickers, and no one seems to be happy about any of what’s happening, making the Milford School Board ANOTHER embattled SAU. There is a …
Earl Metzler is the highest paid superintendent in New Hampshire, with a base salary of $165,909. Earlier this year, he got a compensatory buy out of $92,364.22 for accrued comp time.
