Good afternoon,

Queen City Pride Has No Shame
Saturday, we went to the Queen City Pride Festival in Manchester and stood on the public sidewalk outside the event with “No Puberty Blockers” and “Gender Clinics Harm Children” signs as well as a sign displaying the cover of the book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters” by Abigal Shrier.
Rebuild NH: Publicly Announced Agreement Acceptable Regarding Emergency Powers Reforms
Call your state senator and ask them to keep the promises they’ve made; thank those representatives in the Freedom Caucus who stood firm to demand these changes.
Tuesday June 15 SAU16 School Board Meeting Was Not A Knockout Punch, But it Was Still A TKO
Yes, I know it was frustrating because it wasn’t as decisive a victory as the Monday, June 14 meeting, but take heart: it was still a TKO. The board limited who was “allowed” to speak, how long they could speak and managed to get a few genuflecting minions up at the mic.
NH Republican (and former) State Rep Jack Balcom has Passed Away
It is with a very heavy heart that the Merrimack Republican Town Committee (MRTC) announces the passing of the Honorable JACK BALCOM. Jack was an integral part of the Merrimack Community.
Sorry, but a Lot of Nashua Mayor Donchess’s Financial Laments Are Due to His Administration’s Actions
He complains that the State is requiring $4+ million in “new” pension plan payments. What, he hasn’t known what’s going on? Did he take his eyes off the Bigger Pictures?
If the Budget Fails, We Lose Everything. If It Passes, We Will Have Achieved a Great Deal.
On Thursday, members of the New Hampshire House will vote up or down on House Bill 2, the budget rider bill that contains provisions enacting school choice, restrictions on public funding of critical race theory in New Hampshire schools, a ban on late-term abortions, and meaningful tax cuts.
Alderwoman Trish Klee’s and Aldermen Lopez’s Government Expansion
Ward 3 Alderwoman Trish Klee is up to something. She has been on an initiative to expand the seats on several Nashua Boards. She has led the charge and presented the resolution for the charter change to increase the number of police commissioners from three to five and allow the Mayor and Aldermen President to nominate the seats (R-21-143, June 7, 2021 BOA meeting).
Thank You for Ruining My Kids’ Education. Now You Will Answer for It.
Good evening, As I discuss with my son his socialist, feckless, “everyone gets a trophy” grading system that YOU ignored the petition of over 300 students and parents to change; and as I now KNOW that many of you signed into effect a transgender policy whereby teachers can call MY kids doorknobs, he, she, they, it, etc. without ANY parental knowledge;
NH Legislators: Stop Violating Your Oath of Office And Kill the Budget Bill

SAU 16 Administration and School Boards in Action
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.
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.
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.
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.

In the interest of “throwing something together” here are a few assorted topics for you, in our host’s tradition:

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.
