Two of our very own Nashua State Reps., “Skip” Cleaver and Mark King, are making yet another run at your wallets in the form of a sales tax (HB 1492). For you baseball movie fans, if this bill were a movie, I’d call it “Field of Schemes.”
Gilford School Board: ““They seem intent on making this happen irrespective of people’s concerns,””
Now Normal people are starting to catch on that ANY Progressive agenda items, specifically the Gilford School Board and Superintendent Kirk Beitler trying to ram Policy JBAB on transgenders, declaring its love for “inclusion” is lying about the inclusive parts: “They seem intent on making this happen irrespective of people’s concerns,” said Angelo Farrugia, a … Read more

Gilford – Take our money for a Transfer Station THEN make recycling mandatory? Now a vote for Monarchical diktat

Transgender – more pushback from Tennessee with no biological boys on girls teams
Just as a bill is being put into the NH House hopper that would prevent biological boys compete on biological girls teams, so is this bill from Tennessee. And has a whale of a penalty if some government official allows it to happen (reformatted, emphasis mine): Proposed bill would prevent transgender females from competing in … Read more
Gilford – Take our money for a Transfer Station THEN make recycling mandatory? Part 2
I did my initial rant here. Did you know that our new Recycling Center is now going to have a firing range (supposed to be for law enforcement but why stop there – if the taxpayers are paying for the facility, why not the rest of us?), and a boat storage area (probably for the … Read more

What to do: Gilford School Board Stonewalls a Right-to-Know Demand – The Result (with a whimper)
2+2 = 5 I never did get a response back from Superindent Beitler…But I DID get a response at the next School Board Policy Committee meeting!

Give, Don’t Govern
By John Stossel: Christmas Day 2019 –

What to do: Gilford School Board Stonewalls a Right-to-Know Demand – Part 2
I know, I know, – late again to finish this saga of how the Gilford School Board finally figured out they were blowing smoke with their notion that they had the Power to grant a new Right upon a person suffering from gender dysphoria that then placed legal obligations upon others: The first Right to … Read more

New Hampshire’s Bi-Partisan Usurpation of Local Control
Michael Kitch’s November 22, 2019 article in the NH Business Review; “Taking on NH’s housing ‘crisis’ – Task force’s recommendations ‘a long time coming’” praises the Governor’s new plan to manage housing in NH.

Incredible that the Left treats animals better than some kids
We see this “mis-attention” all the time. For instance, we’ve all heard the Left wail about kids crossing the border were housed in cages – a practice blamed on Trump but started by Obama.
