Mayor Joyce Craig – Some might call these kickbacks

Reformatted, emphasis mine: My friend started a job working for the Manchester Cemetery maintenance department. Two weeks ago ,he was cutting the … Read more
Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig: a lousy education legacy
Mayor Joyce Craig has done nothing to improve the quality of education in Manchester. As Chairman of the Board, she should have come in with a plan to improve the public schools in Manchester.

Grok MicroInterview: Victoria Sullivan, candidate for Mayor of Manchester
After Victoria had filed her candidacy paperwork at Manchester City Hall (“FIX THE CLOCK!“) and had addressed her supporters, I was able to get a bit of an interview with her. Go with me here – a bit of “non-interview” at first but I think it adds a bit as to her character.

NH Democrats Vote to Give Illegal Aliens Drivers’ Licenses
New Hampshire Democrats just voted to give drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens. HB 397 provides a list of foreign documents anyone can use to obtain one. Including expired alien registration cards.

Winning: You Helped Kill New Hampshire’s Wretched Unnecessary Pet-Czar Bill (HB688)
I think congratulations are in order. In February we reported on a bill to create what I called the Pet Czar. A law granting regulatory authority to an agency that would cost millions annually to boss pet owners and hobby breeders around. A gross act of overreach. An absurd abuse of power. A law that, “would create … Read more

Is Your Local School Board Breaking the Law?
Ann Marie Banfield, writing last week, pointed out that some school boards around the state pay membership dues to the New Hampshire School Board Association (NHSBA) which then lobbies the legislature.
