This morning Rich and I spent the segment talking about a so-called for-profit private passenger rail plan with a hitch. This private for-profit plans to tap millions of taxpayer dollars but can only get them if municipalities like Nashua sign up for the ride.

If a big pharmaceutical company was given $40,000.00 by the New Hampshire’s Executive Council to advertise the benefits of a drug therapy that had not only not yet been approved but was not even known to be viable, would people be up in arms about that? I think they probably would. So how about some … Read more
This is what we call the tits-on-a-bull defense. Chris wants rail. There is no good reason for it, he just wants it. And he could care less that we already have infrastructure that works, that is more adaptable, and which costs significantly less to operate.
This editorial from today’s Union Leader on Commuter Rail caught my attention. PETER BURLING, head of the New Hampshire Rail Transit Authority (NHRTA), was in Manchester this week to promote his dream of building a commuter rail line from Concord to Boston. He suggested that operating commuter rail would cost taxpayers less than maintaining the … Read more
What he meant was that if we added commuter rail “there would be more spending than we could even contemplate at this point.”
The 2.2 million is part of 2.4 billion in stimulus dollars allotted in support of the progressive desire to control how you get from A to B. Local fans of commuter rail will applaud the grant, but its being paid for with monopoly money. It is a waste of as yet collected tax payer dollars on an idea that will never pay for itself if implemented, so the 2.2 million is simply a federal intrusion designed to sell us on the a project that is not even cost effective for New Hampshire.
By now, anyone who’s not politically asleep at the wheel ought to know that the American Library Association (ALA) is no friend of any community of decent people. Please talk to people like Beth Scaer and her husband or Rep Arlene Quaratiello or Cindy Bennett if you want to learn more.
If you care about library matters, whether you live in a town or a city,* this video is for you! Skip to 37:25 and tune in for the 19 minutes that follow because the lunacy is mind-blowing.
It is unusual for a Democrat or uniparty stooge to say the quiet part out loud, but this isn’t new to Massachusetts. David Ismay, Charlie Baker’s undersecretary for Climate change (can’t be much of a ‘republican’ Gov. if you have one of those – and he wasn’t), said openly that they need to put the … Read more
Whether from the gallery or on video, if you’ve watched the senate for enough hours and minutes, you know that the one with the gavel regularly asks the rest of the body “are you ready for the question?”
I will start by sharing a video link for the readers to bookmark, though I don’t recommend wasting 98 minutes of your life listening to the insufferable drivel of the Nashua local swamp.
So … Kelly Ayotte’s campaign is based on not letting the Democrats “MASS up New Hampshire.” More specifically, Ayotte’s contention is that New Hampshire is just one election away from turning into Massachusetts because her potential Democrat opponents, Joyce Craig and Cindy Warmington, would turn New Hampshire into a “sanctuary state.”
In seeking a fifth term as mayor of Nashua, Mayor Donchess cites the city’s rankings as one of the best-managed and most livable cities in America, as well as its highest-possible municipal bond rating. These are real achievements that benefit us all, and it’s right that the mayor should take a bow for his part … Read more
Every time I think we’ve milked this cow for as much spoiled milk as it’s worth, something makes the political pressure to move everyone to electric vehicles more ridiculous, especially in places where it gets cold.
For decades, we have had modern-day “people from the past” yammer that NH NEEDS A COMMUTER RAILROAD! With stops at various places like Manchester and Nashua. They talk about the “enhanced economy” and “less emissions” as those folks who “bedroom” here in NH go to jobs in MA on the train.
Well … not quite yet … but that’s clearly where “conservatism” in New Hampshire is headed … because “conservatism” in New Hampshire, to paraphrase The Princess Bride, does not mean what you think it means. I have been posting lately about how New Hampshire’s “fiscal conservatives” rail against commuter rail, while at the same time … Read more
So I put up this facetious post pointing out the hypocrisy of the self-proclaimed “fiscal conservatives” in the NHGOP who are railing (pun intended) about commuter rail to Boston … while ignoring all the waste, fraud and corruption in funding public education and the blank check to the Ukraine … Damn Right We Should Build … Read more
We were disappointed to see that 156 Republicans voted like SHEEP (YES) on HCR1, a call for a Constitutional Convention to AMEND the US Constitution. When confronted, many spouted the very talking points we have heard from the COS lobbyists.
