June 5, 2026September 6, 2024 Ruth Clough

“Your Sheriff is the highest authority in your county, even over the federal government. The sheriff has the authority to deny enforcement of state, federal, and local laws that do not serve your rights or work contrary to your rights. Sherriff Brad Rogers from Elkhart, IN, stood up to the federal government. The FDA and … Read more

Bradley’s Burgess Biomass Boondoggle is Back in the News

June 5, 2026October 31, 2023 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and I agree on several things. Lowering taxes (or eliminating them) is good. Shoring up protections for the right to self-defense is critical. And refusing to fund Berlin’s Burgess Biomass boondoggle was the right thing to do.

It Would Cost NH at Least 135 million Less to Pay Burgess Biomass Workers to do Nothing Than to Renew the Planned Subsidy

June 5, 2026June 26, 2023 Steve MacDonald

We’ve written about the high cost of NH Biomass energy and the redistribution math that costs ratepayers millions. Well, the Governor has a new bill on his desk that would sweeten the deal, but if this is about jobs, it would cost ratepayers less to pay the workers to do nothing.

June 5, 2026November 20, 2022 Skip

In the previous post of this series, SAU 3 Berlin – Trying To Mollify Me That A Card Catalog Isn’t What I Know It To Be (Parsing, Much Parsing), I ended my email to SAU 3’s hired lawyer, Barbara Loughman this way: Right now, you are needlessly spending valuable taxpayer money in stalling for time … Read more

And a wee bit of “I know more about RSA 91-A than he does”. Well, perhaps – she’s a lawyer and I’m not. However, sometimes engineers, who must be MORE precise than lawyers many times, can read simple English used in writing such laws. I will give her an A for trying to move the … Read more

SAU 3 Berlin – Public School Library RTK. Pushback.

June 5, 2026November 16, 2022 Skip

Well, I did make a request for the card catalog for SAU3/Berlin, NH – a single entity that describes the books/other materials that are considered to be the “library collection” (“SAU 3 Berlin – Public School Library RTK“). Sidenote: when dealing with a School District, always, ALWAYS first deal with the School Board members. THEY … Read more

SAU 3 Berlin – Public School Library RTK

June 5, 2026November 14, 2022 Skip

Well, the elections are over, mostly (recounts here in NH this week and this bastardization of Election Day by the Democrats just seems interminable with “oh, another box of mailed-in ballots has just been “found”), so it is time to get back to work, mostly.

RINO Report: Karel Crawford

June 5, 2026August 21, 2022 Spec Bowers

NH House District Carroll 3 (Moultonborough, Tamworth, Madison) has a 3-for-2 Republican primary election. Two candidates are newcomers; the third is terrible. Karel Crawford has bounced back and forth between terrible and mediocre. In her first term, 2013-14, she voted with Democrats against Republicans 130 times, which placed her 10th worst RINO of all … Read more

June 5, 2026July 17, 2021 Op-Ed

Steve MacDonald asked me to write this to show the rest of the State why the North Country, Coos County, in particular, is different. I’m not a writer. I have been many things, but never a writer. I write as I speak, so I beg your pardon if I am not grammatically correct. “When the … Read more

The Republicans They Are Losing!

June 5, 2026February 11, 2021 Op-Ed

The New Hampshire GOP has run amok. It has gone lawless and rouge. If its elections were those of any government agency, Stephen Stepanek, Elliot Gault, Joe Sweeney, and Attorney Bryan Gould would likely be facing criminal charges. But since the New Hampshire Republican Committee is a “club,” they can tamper with elections and commit fraud with impunity.

The NH GOP May Not Be to Trying to Disenfranchise Us, But the Results Say Differently

June 5, 2026January 23, 2021 Op-Ed

After sitting through the NH GOP Exec Council meeting last night (Mon, Jan 18, 2021), in hopes I would hear a possible solution to the Dec 10^th caucus, I am discouraged and am rethinking my involvement with the Republican party in NH.

Conway Daily Sun Doesn’t Think Working Mother Can Be a County Commissioner

June 5, 2026November 1, 2020 Op-Ed

The Nation is ready to accept, embrace, and celebrate Amy Coney Barrett as the latest Justice. Recognizing her for the hard-working, qualified candidate that she is. I wish I could say the same for some members of our community.

Where is (Grafton Dist. 12) NH House Rep – Garrett Muscatel? Home – In California!

June 5, 2026May 13, 2020 Steve MacDonald

It’s a good thing the NH House is self quarantined from the statehouse because Grafton Dist 12 Democrat Garrett Muscatel is missing in action. Well, not missing so much as not residing at his “home address.” The one from which he ran for office in New Hampshire. That would be his ‘Dorm’ at Dartmouth.
