Last August, the Claremont school district stared into a five-million-dollar hole, and the community did what communities do. People wrote checks. People ran fundraisers. People rallied for the kids. The athletic department, in particular, became a cause celebre. Cut the sports? Unthinkable. Sports build character. Sports keep kids off the streets. One of the loudest … Read more
When a Judge Tells You to Go Be Political Seven and ½ months. That is how long a single ethics complaint has been waiting to be screened by the City of Nashua’s Ethics Review Committee. Not read.

Rural Vermonters have certainly woken up to the dangers of Act 181, the state land use law that threatens to basically steal the property rights away from landowners living outside the 2.5 percent of the state deemed to be “urban settlement.” The “Vermont Act 181” Facebook group has exploded almost overnight to 11,400 members, the … Read more
