Nashua residents deserve full transparency into how our City manages taxpayer‑funded housing programs and vets individuals placed in our neighborhoods. Recent events have raised serious and urgent concerns about the City of Nashua’s screening practices, concerns that City officials have repeatedly refused to address. A Nashua resident recently informed me that her father, a local … Read more
Most readers are aware by now that there isn’t much ‘Grok readership in Ward 2, Nashua. Just look at the serial absence of representation in City Hall and the House, election after election, going back several cycles. Having “marked myself safe” from Alderman Dowd before last fall’s election, I can share good news: all of … Read more
Nashua has around 90,000 people in it, give or take, making it the second largest collection of people in a municipality in the state of New Hampshire. As of June 2026, 46,917 of them are registered to vote. As you’d expect, Dems have a registration advantage, but something has happened since 2024. Based on data … Read more
It’s already common knowledge that Rosenwald is retiring from the senate, and the enemy camp has selected Telerski to be her replacement. Queen Sharon called her and Ruth Ward up to her podium to be recognized and receive clocks as retirement gifts and address the rest of the senate. I expected the usual themes a … Read more
A Deeper Analysis of Corporation Counsel’s Role in Nashua’s April 28, 2026, 14 Mulberry Street Secret Vote Preface: Why This Matters Beyond Nashua What happened in Nashua’s aldermanic chamber on the night of April 28, 2026 is not merely a procedural dispute about meeting minutes.

How City Hall Used a Closed-Door Session to Hide the Failed 14 Mulberry Street Land Deal from the Public A deep dive into the April 28, 2026 Board of Aldermen non-public session minutes, now unsealed, reveals a troubling pattern of using executive session not to protect the public’s interest, but to shield elected officials from … Read more
I just saw a tweet about some “30-minute warning” announcement about a curfew in a city. The average observer might think of a big box store’s intercom saying, “Attention shoppers, the store closes in 30 minutes, please bring your purchases to the register.” Not me. It triggered my contempt for Alderman Wilshire and her insufferable … Read more
When I opened the Useless Liar’s daily digest email in my inbox, I saw an editorial by Ms. Melanie Levesque and could hardly contain my excitement to read it. Alas, it was a pay article, and I had to ask a paid member to copy and paste it. Grokster Beth Scaer, upon sending it, reminded … Read more
Nashua residents should be paying close attention as the city heads toward what could become an 8% property‑tax increase in 2027. Despite public assurances from Mayor Donchess that departments were instructed to hold budget growth to 3%, many divisions have submitted increases far beyond that limit, and the Board of Aldermen appears content to approve … Read more
Nashua’s “tag line,” nickname, whatever you want to call it, is the Gate City. Narcissistic, Machiavellian, psychopathic Mayor Jim Donchess has repurposed the word ‘gate’ to mean ‘locked,’ thereby turning welcome openness into locked, inaccessible territory. You can come spend money at the Mall or avoid taxes all over the city as a retail tourist … Read more
The Debt Service section of the City of Nashua’s FY2027 Budget raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability. When residents review a city budget, they reasonably expect to see a complete and accurate picture of the debt obligations for which Nashua taxpayers are ultimately responsible. Unfortunately, the FY2027 presentation does not meet that standard. On … Read more
To be clear, the flying of gay flags is not prohibited in the city of Nashua, but a recent settlement has put the city’s citizen flagpole six feet under. Viewpoint discrimination, as it turns out, is unconstitutional in Nashua, too. There is no Nashua Exception, and if the hyper-partisan Mayor can’t limit use of his … Read more
Nashua residents deserve a budget process grounded in accuracy, transparency, and accountability. Yet the FY2027 Budget Book, distributed publicly and posted on the city website, contains significant omissions and inconsistencies that materially distort the city’s financial picture. Whether these errors stem from oversight or mismanagement, the impact is the same: taxpayers are being presented with … Read more
Never vote to sell your right to vote. Your right to vote should be as sacred as free speech and bearing arms. The latter shall not be infringed. Unfortunately, there are some people who have no problem with your right to vote being infringed. Sadly, lots of them are the kind of voters who show … Read more
In every city, trust in government is built on a simple principle: taxpayers have the right to know how their money is being spent. In Nashua, that principle is now being tested. As the FY2027 budget moves forward, residents are being asked to accept a spending plan without access to the detailed line‑item information that … Read more
The numbers don’t lie. After years of watching the city’s Ethics Review Committee treat male and female complainants differently, I finally put it on the record. On May 6, 2026, I filed a formal complaint with the New Hampshire Attorney Discipline Office (ADO) against Attorney Timothy Bush, Chairman of the Nashua Ethics Review Committee (ERC). … Read more
Near 10 pm at the end of last Thursday’s super marathon senate session, RPK took to her mic, which means it’s something for the WHOLE senate to hear, the whole 16:8 senate. She announced a retirement party for Rosenwald late Wednesday afternoon, 5/20, at Arts Alley. It stands to reason that the whole senate is … Read more
A companion piece to Doris Hohensee’s “When Public Meetings Become Police Operations” — GraniteGrok, May 2026 Doris Hohensee’s recent GraniteGrok piece is a must-read account of how nine ordinary New Hampshire citizens were wrongfully arrested at a public Executive Council meeting in October 2021 and then spent the better part of two years navigating a … Read more
Four months ago, I published a piece detailing how St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua, NH, had been captured by the trans agenda. I shared their videos promoting the trans agenda, their T-shirts promoting the trans agenda, their medical records system that requires patients to fill in nonsensical fields like “Sex Assigned at Birth” and “Gender … 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. Not decided. Not ruled on. Just sitting. The only complaint. Waiting. And when I finally brought that failure … Read more
