In case you haven’t heard, Senate Education was supposed to have an executive session and vote on the Ruth Ward amendment with the whole Senate voting on October 23. Interestingly, when the committee returned from a short recess following Tuesday’s hearing, Ruth announced that the executive session would be rescheduled to “sometime before January.” A … Read more
Many years ago, I had a front row seat in observing the dynamics of a father and son that made me cringe on a regular basis. The identity of this toxic duo will not be shared with the readers, but let’s just say that the father regularly made parental decisions that I found appalling. His … Read more
Ward 4 Rep Paige Beauchemin, whose reputation already precedes her, recently appeared in the WMUR studio with Adam Sexton and said, “I think the millionaires are well represented already,” and a bunch of other far-left rhetoric in the very short video that was released last night. Ward 4 includes some of the trashiest parts of Nashua and … Read more
I’m calling on all like-minded Granite Staters to mark their calendars for Tuesday, November 4, regardless of whether they live in a city. If you live in a city, you should already know when your local election is, who to vote for, and who you need to get rid of. If you live in a … Read more
I hope everyone who went to Howard Pearl’s Oktoberfest last weekend at his family farm had a good time. Everyone, including Howard. While my new senator is busy cleaning up from that shindig, he should know that I am watching him just like Mr Focker’s future father-in-law would. Everyone should be watching their senator on … Read more
With city elections just a month away, it’s a good idea for candidates to be familiar with their city’s “operations manual” regarding recounts, regardless of the city, but especially in Nashua. As Alderman Dowd’s previous opponent, I was refused a recount. Before any readers call me a sore loser or (insert preferred insult here), some … Read more
Everyone wants to feel safe. It’s priority number two in Maslow’s hierarchy after physiological needs, such as food, water and heat. And when I say “everyone,” nobody is exempt, not even Peter Petrigno, a nasty man from the enemy camp and a member of House Children and Family Law. That committee met yesterday and I … Read more
Before getting into the meat of my “Part Deux” to my previous article on the Nashua library, let’s give a hat tip to a few people, starting with Grokster Beth Scaer, a well-known local library watchdog. She was the one who brought a new Ink Link article on the library to my attention. Next, there’s … Read more
SO, as to avoid rewriting a previous article, I will refer you to this link in case you haven’t already read it. A few others and I RSVPed to Daniel Richard and met him in Concord to sign the paperwork he prepared for his school funding-related remonstrance. Tom Murray, Nurse Terese, Dan Melvin, Deb Roux, Doris, and … Read more
I’ve been checking the EC hearing calendar daily as the one for Gould’s judge appointment is tomorrow morning, erroneously assuming that Formella would get his sometime shortly after that. Then I stumbled upon a quiet little nugget while reading a NH Journal article on the embattled Karen Liot Hill (KLH) announcing that she’s recusing herself … Read more
I want to give a brief pitch to you, the reader and potential donor, why Mr. Gouthro is a good candidate and a serious candidate
I reviewed Kelly Ayotte’s tweets for 5 days, Friday through today, the Tuesday after Labor Day. Keeping in mind that she is a human being and that she probably has some staff member doing her social media for her, she is still the captain of the ship, both for her staff and all of the … Read more
In my previous article, It’s Time to Stop Rewarding Bad Behavior, I mentioned an email I sent to Senator Gray, requesting a bill that abolishes the PAID administrative leave.
I know the Senate is in recess and it’s a holiday weekend, but I think I’m barking up the correct tree emailing Senator Gray, who chairs the committee most likely to receive my fantasy bill. He usually replies with a “thank you for your email” within a few hours, sometimes on weekends, and sometimes with … Read more
A few thoughts on Ayotte keeping Formella as AG and nominating Bryan Gould to the court
Let’s talk about the executive council, whether or not Karen Liot Hill (KLH) keeps her seat for the rest of the term.
After submitting my thoughts inspired by the bad behavior of Councilor Karen Liot Hill (KLH), I wanted to learn more about the nuts and bolts of an impeachment, should one for KLH be initiated (desired). A few details to keep in mind are that the office of executive councilor is a two-year term, elected at … Read more
Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill’s (KLH) days could be numbered, which is my hope, and I know that I’m not alone in it, but I would encourage everyone to refrain from talking about it with anyone in the Senate for the moment because enough votes in the House to impeach her could be a possibility. … Read more
Alderman Melbourne Moran Jr is supposedly not seeking reelection this fall. Let’s hope, for everyone’s sake, that it’s true because he really is a moron. I call him “Alderman Moron” and encourage others to do the same, but Ward 7 moderator Avalon Lewis got a head start in preparing for Alderman Moron’s future private citizenry … Read more
Delusions of grandeur are high on the diagnostic checklist for Narcissism. Just look at the DSM-3-R or any other authority on such matters. Former Rep Ming has shown similar behaviors during last year’s campaign season, such as claiming to be the first Asian rep when it simply wasn’t true. Now he’s outdone himself in his … Read more
