Is A NH Public Employee Using The Internet to Sell his Political Agenda On Your Time?

September 26, 2018March 6, 2012 Steve MacDonald

What does a New Hampshire Public employee who is also an SEIU chapter Vice President and shop steward do while working on the taxpayer dime? If your name is Richard de Seve, (Dick de Seve, or DickNH, from Gilmanton, NH, VP of the Gilmanton Conservation Commission) you may be posting comments to the Concord Monitor online, throughout the work day, when you shouldn’t be. At least that’s how it looks from here.

How could I suspect such a thing? After encountering the amusing screen name DickNH at the Concord Monitor Online, I felt compelled to find out what kind online footprint someone with that handle generates. What unfolded was a series of connections with a curious conclusion. That a self proclaimed adjunct professor at UNH, with a law degree and former law practice, who is also an SEIU chapter Vice President and Union Steward, employed as a Compliance Supervisor at the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, might be using Newspaper Message Boards online to promote the Democrat/Union agenda when he should be doing the taxpayers business.

Concord Monitor Fisking: Several Bad Ideas On Hunting, Wildlife

September 26, 2018February 14, 2012 Rick Olson

“As for editorial content, that’s the stuff you separate the ads with.” —Lord Thomson of Fleet

On Thursday, February 9, 2012 the Concord Monitor‘s Dan Williams wrote an opinion column entitled, Several bad ideas on Hunting, wildlife Williams contacted me personally to talk about his upcoming story. When I read the column, however, I didn’t recognize the lion-share of our conversation. Much was missed in the piece and it took on a rather pejorative tone, versus an analytical tone.

Seeing the text on line, I attempted to clarify with only nominal token success. I had to generate an account, was limited to 1000 characters in my response. and was only permitted one entry. My second one never appeared.

The Concord Monitor’s Integrity Deficit

September 26, 2018February 13, 2012 Rick Olson

“I can only assume that your editorial writer tripped over the First Amendment and thought it was the office cat.” —E. B. White

On Thursday February 9, the Concord Monitor ran an opinion column written by Dan Williams regarding several pieces of Legislation pending in Concord affecting Hunting, Fishing and Trapping. Aside from writing for Granite Grok, I am the President of the New Hampshire Wildlife Federation, and also the President of the Londonderry Fish & Game Club. I am a hunter, a fisherman (of lesser sorts) and a Trapper.

Here’s the latest prevarication from the Monitor, which every day looks more and more like nothing more than a … Read more

Concord Monitor’s Editorial Shell Games

September 26, 2018May 3, 2011 Rick Olson

“For a moment, at least, a nation united” the headline informs in the Concord Monitor. The monitor editorial continues on reflecting on the losses born out of 9/11, on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq and how our lives have changed since, all of which is very stoic and reflective. But leave it to those … Read more

If There’s Grass On The Field Play Ball

May 19, 2022December 9, 2010 Steve MacDonald

We could call most Democrats a contradiction wrapped in an enigma but to be honest there is nothing enigmatic about them. They are just a contradiction. And while we could give them some small credit for not always understanding their own contradictions, acting as they often do solely on feelings and impulse, when they have their own newspaper and use it to propagandize the subscriber-ship with bovine bloviations, we can offer only pity.

A recent ‘Monitor Staff’ editorial takes the occasion of the Charlie Bass candidacy to take a pot shot at the Tea party movement while asking who Charlie Bass really is? We know who he is. He’s a Blue Dog Republican.
