Back-to-back SAU 16 Joint Board and Co-operative school Board meetings are in the can. What was accomplished? At the Joint Board meeting June 14, 2021, the cafeteria was where parents, grandparents and citizens assembled to voice their concerns.
Critical Race Theory Divides Instead of Unites the Nation
I have to respond to Charles Ajootian (Letter to the Editor, below) who says, several times, I forget. No, I do not forget those things mentioned, I lived through some of them. Being 78 years old I remember Selma, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. being killed, the murder of young northern kids bussed down to Mississippi, and many more.
NH Liberty Alliance – Liberty Dinner
The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance cordially invites you to its 2021 Liberty Dinner. At this event, we will unveil this year’s Liberty Rating, announce the Legislator of the year, and announce the Activist of the year.
The Birth of a Nation (and the death of another): “Juneteenth National Independence Day”
Check out the above picture of the celebration when the bill establishing this “Juneteenth National Independence Day” passed the House. “White savior” Nancy in the middle. While I know that the folks on the left were not actually engaging in Nazi salutes,
Who Is a Terrorist? Is It You, Me, Our Neighbor?
Where is Paul Revere when you need him? Who is a terrorist? Is it you, me, our neighbor? The people must be on the watch for who they call “a terrorist” because one day, it could be you, me, or our neighbor. You think not! Wait and see.
The Board of Assessors and the City of Nashua Are Screwing the Taxpayer Again.
Abatements filed by residents need to be filed between November 15, 2020, to March 1, 2021. The office practice on filing abatements has always been first in, first served. Well, now the assessing department is only doing properties that they like.
The City of Nashua Lost, I Won – Assessors Hit Hardest
I won my property lawsuit against the City. The Board of Tax and Land Appeals granted in my favor and said I carried the burden of proof. The City wanted the 2018 assessment set to $711,000 and 2019 is $710,000.
SAU16/Exeter: A Culture of Discrimination, Intimidation and Civil Rights Violations
After attending both school board meetings in SAU16 this week, one thing is obvious; there is a toxic culture within the walls of this school district. A culture that needs change immediately.
Rich Girard’s vs. Victoria Sullivan’s Education Plans for Manchester Public Schools
It’s encouraging that parents and voters are finally speaking out against the radical agenda being imposed upon students in our public schools. Sadly, many school board members and administrators refuse to listen to parent’s concerns. They need to be voted out.
Girard Denounces Defund the Police Rallies Targeting Manchester
MANCHESTER, NH June 17, 2021—”The story written by John DiStaso in his NH Primary Source column is disturbing to say the least. That the NH Youth Movement, whatever that is, has “targeted” Manchester as a place that needs to defund police is as disturbing as it is dangerous.
Superintendent Ryan Must Be Removed From Office.
If you attended either school board meeting in Exeter Monday or Tuesday, this would be crystal clear. It is US vs THEM. No, I’m not talking Republican vs Democrat or even conservative vs liberal.
Two Steps Forward, Three Steps Back – Senate Rolls Over for Sununu, Expands Governor’s Emergency Powers
In a joint House-Senate committee today, the Senate openly carried out the governor’s bidding by adding language to the budget that would make his emergency powers fundamentally stronger than they have been over the past 15 months while including only nominal checks from the Legislature that functionally will not work to limit the governor’s power.
Wednesday Overnight Thread – Adults Take Over Monday Night’s SAU16 School Board Meeting Edition
In case you missed it, the adults in the room took over Monday night’s SAU16 school board meeting at Exeter High School. Below is a link to the video. Warning: it’s about 3 hours long. However, if you are a regular Granite Grok reader, this is the Wagyu beef and Russian caviar of school board meetings, so take your time and digest it slowly.
Gilford School Board – 6/8/21 Masks, Dillon’s Rule State, Policy JBAB, Powers, Rights
Last Tuesday was the latest Gilford School Board Meeting. While it wasn’t quite as contentious as what has been happening elsewhere in NH lately, I’d like to think that I’m trying to point out that School Board members aren’t doing their due diligence from a Legal / Policy standpoint.
Quick Takes
In the interest of “throwing something together” here are a few assorted topics for you, in our host’s tradition:
1. Hyperinflation & the economic crash. They are a-comin’. Deutsche Bank Issues a Terrifying Warning for America Under Biden:
The Next New Hampshire Election
In 2020, New Hampshire residents allegedly reelected Democrat Senators Shaheen and Hassan, and New Hampshire’s Second District Congressional Representative Anne Kuster.
More Snake Oil Coming Out of (SAU16) Exeter
A third-party firm called “2Revolutions” is now in SAU 16, and someone needs to provide the public with the “cost” to taxpayers. When I filed a Right to Know Request to determine the cost, I was provided a sum of $16,000.00. That figure may have changed since that request was sent.
So, We Should Trust Harri Hursti?
Dear Editor, My word, this Windham audit is nonsense. (1) If there are copyright protections on the decompiled EPROMs, then that says that NH should not be using the machines because the correct operation of the machine cannot be easily and publicly verified. So, we should trust Harri?
This Is How We Get Our Country Back
Last Tuesday was the latest Gilford School Board meeting and I think that “had a bit of steam up” would be technically correct and descriptive. While there are Public Comment sections in the Agenda, I still haven’t received an answer to a rather simple question:
Nashua Spending: It’s So Easy When It Is Other Peoples’ Money
If any Nashua residents still think that our mayor and/or our Board of Aldermen care about our money, they are wrong. Last year while residents were locked down in this pandemic, the mayor was renovating City Hall to make it COVID compliance.
