Dear Grafton County Commissioners & Delegates,

As you may or may not know, virtual, online, ZOOM Commissioners’ Meetings were “blacked-out,” “shut down,” canceled,” by “the Chairman of the Board,” Martha McLeod,  as of April 22, 2025 so that no Grafton County residents can see & listen to the meetings in real time.  This type of censorship is something that is done … Read more

In response to Ron Willoughby, who is concerned about school spending in Haverhill, NH (“Haverhill Taxpayers-Are you happy?”, Caledonian-Record), he and every Grafton County resident/taxpayer should be deeply concerned about spending at the Grafton County Complex.  While there is a minority of Republicans who make up the County Delegation and the Executive Committee, with every … Read more
