Two quick disclaimers before diving into this post: First, this is a modified version of my comment to the board on Oct.1. I addressed them publicly and in person, so this is not some keyboard warrior controversy. Second, some school board members think pointing out bad behavior is worse than the bad behavior itself, so … Read more

As stated in previous emails about BAD Votes by Democrats, the name of the Democrat really doesn’t matter; they vote consistently on all issues…FOR MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL!

Trantifa is gonna be pissed. Vermont is naming a section of I-91 “to honor fallen Border Patrol agent David Chris Maland.” The one shot and killed by the Zizian lunatic Theresa Youngblut.

The Really Ugly Side of the “Second Home” Tax The recent poll by Vermont Public showed – sadly, but not surprisingly – that a majority of Vermonters (57 percent) support taxing owners of second homes more heavily in our state. This has been a topic of conversation under the Golden Dome for at least the … Read more
Manchester Ink Link has been around for a few years, with a Nashua version added more recently, which, based on reader input, has tarnished the brand a bit, though that was inevitable. But we’re happy to have them around in case we need some long-hanging fruit, and what could be more low-hanging than this? The … Read more
For years, decarbonization was New England’s most fashionable energy policy. Except for New Hampshire, New England states made carbon-emission reductions their top priority, even if it meant higher prices, slower economic growth, and a higher risk of periodic energy shortages. Fashions are fickle, though. As the far left is scrambling to distance itself from the … Read more

My first reaction to a story about one million dollars in state grants to build EV Charging stations was, “Where’s the grant money to help build gas stations?” Or, more correctly, if we aren’t giving out grants for that- and we don’t, as far as I can tell- then why would we give grants for … Read more
Ink Link states that it is “dedicated to being your preferred source for reliable information that moves the community conversation forward, one story at a time.” It also emphasizes that “journalism is essential to an informed and engaged citizenry.” Those are admirable goals. However, my experience has led me to question whether Ink Link provides … Read more

Article Summary: New Hampshire taxpayers are repeatedly told that local school budgets must continue to increase because the cost of educating children keeps rising.

New England is a small but very diverse region of the country. From the sparsely populated, generally conservative Aroostook County in Northern Maine to the rather liberal, densely populated Hartford, CT, you can find every type of U.S. Voter imaginable. But the one thing that New England doesn’t offer is representation for Republicans. Democrats have … Read more
Alderman Derek Thibeault’s recent comments in InkLink on taxes and state funding overlook a fundamental fact: residents can reasonably hold local government accountable when local government continues to increase spending and, as a result, increase the tax burden on taxpayers. Since 2023, Nashua’s General Fund budget has increased by approximately 20.89%, while Enterprise Fund expenditures … Read more
The NHCADSV has issued a statement on the Cornell 7 story. How ironic. Please remember that the NHCADSV’s own attorney, David Vicinanzo, successfully petitioned Merrimack County DA/Superior Court to block publication of the Grand Jury Criminal Investigation into St. Paul’s School. Vicinanzo, per RTK emails from the AG’s office, represented multiple parties with conflicting interests, … Read more
