Lawyer Whose Advice Probably Got a County Commission Sued is a Sununu Nominee for Superior Court
This Wednesday, the Executive Council will hear testimony on the nomination of Andrew Livernois to the State Superior Court. Sorry for the short notice. We just heard about it today. Before anyone says yes, perhaps they should consider this.

RINO Report – Belknap County
For someone who analyzes voting records, it is sad to see how Belknap has changed. For the last decade, the Belknap delegation (the group of State Reps from Belknap) has had the best voting record of all counties.
The 2023 Belknap County Budget – It Wasn’t Just About the Money
The 2023 Belknap County Budget would make for a most interesting case study for students enrolled in a graduate school program and course in public administration. At the same time, examining the process—and especially the decisions made around the processes and procedures adopted by the Delegation’s Budget Committee, cries out to me for corrections and … Read more
Absence of Shame: Belknap State Rep Harry Bean & Laconia City Councilor Henry Lipman
After many months of apparently keeping a fairly low profile, Laconia City Councilor Henry Lipman has recently fielded a letter to the editor in the Laconia Daily Sun (also known as Pravda by The Lake) commending and endorsing the incompetent and inept management by Belknap Delegation Chair State Rep Harry Bean of the Belknap County … Read more
So Belknap County’s “Republican” Mike Bordes Is Either Upset That His Poor Voting Record Has Been Outed – Or He Doesn’t Care a Whit
Spec’s RINO Report is here and it listed the top 10 RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) using a formula that picks out Republicans (ahem!) State Reps that vote counter to the majority of Republicans on a given bill. It’s not emotional, it’s just about the numbers. Bordes had a reaction to my posting and I … Read more
RINO Report, Prelim – 03/25/23

Update on the RTK Requesting Legislative Emails for Members of the Belknap County Delegation
The RSA 91:A demand for the legislative emails for all members of Belknap County went out Sunday (two days ago), and I got the notification of their receipt from James Cianci, the NH House Legal Counsel, yesterday.
Breaking: So NOW Belknap Delegation Chair Harry Bean Calls For Another Meeting – but Fairly Authoritarian & Rigid Rules, Wouldn’t You Agree?
Update: another little birdie has said “Harry didn’t write that email – he doesn’t write that well. Somebody ghostwrote it for him” and has suspicions.”. Either way, the above title still stands as his signature is on it. And he was just a bad boy in another way, too!
If You Live In Belknap County (NH), You are Looking At A 35% Rise In Your County Taxes. Blame Belknap Delegation Chair Harry Bean!
You need to contact Belknap County Delegation Chair Harry Bean: Email: froggytouttaint@aol.com Phone: (603) 455-2993. He’s responsible for this. In NH, the various Counties, all County budgets start with the Commissioners. Here in Belknap, I’m betting that they didn’t just throw the kitchen sink into their budget, they put your street’s entire collection of kitchen … Read more
Belknap County Delegation – Showing a Loophole in RSA 91-A that Government Officials or Staff Can Exploit?
A great example of what I am getting at here was my email sent to NH Speaker of the House Sherm Packard and NH House Majority Leader Jason Osborne concerning a Right To Know for Belknap County Legislative emails: —— Original Message —— From “Skip” <Skip@granitegrok.com> To “Sherman Packard” <Sherman.Packard@leg.state.nh.us>; “Jason Osborne” <Jason@osborne4nh.com>; Jason.Osborne@leg.state.nh.us Date … Read more
Belknap County Delegation – A Right To Know to Sherm Packard and Jason Osborne (NH Speaker of the House & NH House Majority Leader)
Trust – such an ephemeral thing. Now, I did include Speaker Packard on a previous email concerning a Right To Know. Didn’t hear back. So I’m making it more explicit in now both of the Republican Leaders are now responsible for Following The Law act accordingly. After all, they can instruct the proper IT people … Read more
Belknap County Delegation – Attendance Record So Far. Why Aren’t Belmont Residents Up In Arms Over Their Poor Representation?
Belknap County’s NH State Representative Attendance through March 9: The median attendance of all Reps is actually 100%. Anyone with attendance below 84% is in the bottom 20% of all Reps. St. Clair is in the worst 10%. O’Hara and Trottier are in the worst 5% of all Reps Some details: Beaudoin missed all of … Read more
Well, There Was One Bright Spot in Yesterday’s (Coup D’Etat) Primary Election – Once Again, It’s about Gregg Hough

Belknap’s Republican “Extremists” Should Embrace it Just Like We did Back in 2010
In the run-up to the 2010 wave election that wiped Obamacrats out of the US House and in state legislatures across the country, NH Dems tried to label Republican candidates as extremists. So, what’s happening to the Belknap County Delegation is just more of the same, and like in 2010, they should embrace it.
Mike Bordes Should Not Be Re-Elected by the Citizens of Laconia
NH State Rep Laura Pantelakos (D): “I don’t care about protecting peoples’ Liberty“
NH State Rep John Mann (D): “liberty” is either an ideology or a gross misrepresentation and oversimplification (accidental or otherwise) of what government is for.”
Neither has read our Declaration of Independence lately, have they?
So Belknap County Attorney Andrew Livernois Lied (By Omission) To Give Cover for Last Week’s Illegal County Delegation Meeting.
My impression of Andrew Livernois’s answer: EVERYTHING in the Law is a “grey area” (so go do what you want). And now the Delegation is getting sued over it. Like I said here, NH State Rep Harry Bean broke the Law after being manipulated into whipping himself into a frenzy to be seen as getting … Read more
Gunstock and Voting
After seeing Sununu’s letter on the Gunstock situation, it just confirmed to me and many others that Sununu has to go. I wonder if Sununu is connected to the Citizens of Belknap movement, where this group is trying hard to confuse people.
So the Gunstock Mountain Sr. Mgt Mass Resignations Was a Planned Political Stunt – The Nuclear Option
The July 20, 2022, Gunstock Area commission meeting saw more than fireworks. The ‘world-class management team‘ was dissatisfied with the seating arrangement and went for the nuclear option.
