We started off playing really nicely together and voting for HB-25-A which … Read more

The Myth That the Socialist Budget Provides “Property Tax Relief”
This: What a bunch of bull. First of all, absent a real statewide municipal spending cap -which is long overdue as “local control” has become a punch line- there is nothing stopping the municipality from treating the “revenue sharing” as “free money” and spending it on top of whatever they would have spent without the … Read more

The New Hampshire GOP Has Hit Rock Bottom.
This: Hooksett is supposed to be a “Republican Town.” Yet Germano, who at best is a couple of baby-steps away from a full-bore communist, was elected to -of all things- the Budget Committee.

Congressman Dan Crenshaw – “Spending More Money Doesn’t Make You Morally Superior”

Why Does Merrimack Need $20,000.00 Per Student Per Year?
The proposed budget for the Merrimack School system is 77.6 million dollars. That’s the entire cost to run the district for one year. An endeavor that exists, at least in theory, with one purpose. Educate children. But not very many of them. Which begs the question? Why so much for so little?
