Most readers already know that Ms. Melanie Levesque is going to be Councilor Wheeler’s opponent, again, this year. What people might not know is that the executive council happens to meet on her birthday, May 20, assuming that date is not misinformation. Remember Dr. Frank? He’s the mathematician who brought his expertise to the 2021 … Read more
The NHCADSV were the primary opposers to House Bill 1633, introduced by Rep. Ellen Read (D) and killed today by the Senate.

My arrival in the Granite State predates the Free State Project, but from time to time, I’ve been included as an accomplice. Ideologically, it makes sense. We agree on most things, and the details come down to how much or how little government. As a keeper of the flame of our founding principles, I am … Read more

Dear Senators, I understand that HB1633 has been relegated to “further review”. I ask you this: This document shows that J. Grimbilas Strategic Solutions LLC made campaign donations to certain Senate candidates in 2023 on behalf of the NHCADSV, who paid it $6000 for lobbying. Apart from the fact that straw donating is strictly illegal … Read more
Since moving to Nashua in 2013, I have seen a significant shift in how City Hall interacts with residents. For many years, City Hall operated with an open‑door policy: any resident could walk in, pay or obtain a bill, review assessment files, or speak directly with a city employee without an appointment. Customer service and … Read more

I’m not sure what the East-Kingston and Kenisington School Boards want to keep hidden so badly, but they are spending a lot of tax dollars on legal fees to keep it that way. Taxpayers proposed a warrant article to create a non-taxpayer-funded committee to explore ways to save taxpayers’ money. The school budget is out … Read more
