Special Education or Chutes and Ladders?

June 2, 2020 Stephen Scaer

Governor Chris Sununu is right to be concerned that many special education students are being left behind during remote learning, but will his Emergency Order #48 make a bad situation worse by burying schools in paperwork?

NH Dem Rep. Insults Every Other Police Force in the Nation, *Blames Violence on Trump Supporters

June 1, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Some folks should stay away from Social Media. Nashua Alderman and NH House Rep. Jan Schmidt, for example. It appears as if she is incapable of doing anything online without putting her foot in her mouth. A right to which she is entitled.

If the Nashua Mask Ordinance is About Education You Are Teaching People a Lie

May 30, 2020May 30, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Is it possible that Nashua politicians know masks won’t do anything, but they want to yank your chain (virtue signal) and make you think they care and are protecting you? Or are they idiots who get their science from Trump-hating MSNBC talking heads?

Nepotism in the City of Nashua

May 27, 2020 Laurie Ortolano

The City of Nashua has a little known and unenforced anti-nepotism policy.

Nashua’s Politicians are Using the Coronavirus to Advance their Own Political Agendas

May 23, 2020 Laurie Ortolano

Everyone knows that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives, at least temporarily. This includes how we, the public, participate in local politics.
