Extremists? You Bet – Looks Like Gunstock SR. Mgt (And Commish Gary Kiedaisch) Had a Really Good Reason Why They All Quit en Masse Last Week!

July 30, 2022July 28, 2022 Skip

And it wasn’t because the Gunstock Area Commissioners, their bosses, rearranged the Belknap County Complex meeting room such that the Sr. Management was put into the front row of the Public’s seating area instead of having tables of their own like the GAC.

Gunstock-You want EXTREMISTS?? Let Me Present “Citizens for Belknap”‘s NH State Senate Wannabe Tim Lang – and Arrogant Overreach

July 28, 2022July 27, 2022 Skip

Remember (and I’ll keep doing so) Tim Lang is the State Rep that was Sununu’s buddy during the long pandemic of deciding who among we NH residents were essential – and who wasn’t.

Gunstock and Voting

July 26, 2022 Op-Ed

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.

Stubborn, he is – Tom Day, General Manager / President of the Gunstock Mountain Resort (“GMR”).

Gunstock Mountain Resort – I Just Got a New Batch of Homework to Do

April 25, 2022 Skip

Gunstock Mountain Resort – Public Comment Session in its entirety

This is Cause for Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch’ Removal
