The City of Nashua has required masks indoors for months (except for the ‘crats in Town Hall, or so I hear). Not one of the surrounding communities has a mask mandate. So, it might surprise some that today Nashua has gone code red from a COVID19 infection spike.

Does Nashua Need Another Lawyer to Handle Public Document Requests?
Mayor Jim Donchess vented at a recent Nashua Board of Aldermen meeting to justify the new legal manager positions to process Right-to-Know requests. He came down hard on myself and another citizen who are simply requesting public documents to understand what is happening in our city government.
The Nashua Board of Aldermen Strikes Again
The mayor of Nashua, James Donchess, recently tested positive for Covid-19. This is the same mayor who implemented Nashua’s mandatory mask ordinance and has taken other extreme measures in the City.
People of Color: Shop in Nashua Without a Mask – Just to See What Happens
The Benevolent Despots in the People’s Republic of Nashua (New Hampshire) have passed a decree. Shop Keepers shall not serve unmasked patrons. Somewhere in the small print, I’d expect to see some text directing children to rat out their parents to the Gestapo.
Cities & Towns in New Hampshire Have NO Legal Authority to Mandate Masks
I covered this in a post ridiculing a Superior Court decision upholding Nashua’s mask mandate, but with more and more municipalities passing or considering mask-mandates, I decided the topic was worthy of its own post. Let’s start with the principle that New Hampshire is NOT a “home rule” State. That means, as the New Hampshire … Read more
Do We Need A Right-To-Know Manager in the Legal Office?
The Nashua Board of Aldermen will be voting on a new Legal Office Right-to-Know (RTK) Management Position ($100,000). Given the current hiring freeze in the City, this position should be carefully reviewed.
Mask Math is Hard – It’s Harder for Sheep
Facebook loves us when we talk about this. Masking. Wearing a medical face mask. We think you should be free to choose what to believe and if and when to wear a mask in public. Like a seatbelt. That also presumes the right not to wear one. But as we all know, rights are frequently infringed.
Computer Crimes Called After Porn Image Appears in NH Online “Classroom”
If anyone can ruin the potential of online learning, it’s the public school system, but that’s not what this story is about. Not exactly. Three recent New Hampshire incidents highlight the unlikelihood of anyone learning anything with the government in charge of distance learning.

Aldermen Ben Clemons does not support Freedom of Speech
Recently, Aldermen at Large, Ben Clemons has come out strong supporting Freedom of Speech for all. But what do his records really indicate – a hypocritical position that affords him the right to this freedom while taking it away from the public.
Open letter to the Nashua School Community
When Superintendent Jahmal Mosley pursued a position outside of the district without giving the Nashua Board of Education prior notice, he demonstrated a lack of commitment, not only to complete his contract but to the City that welcomed him with open arms. Jahmal Mosley was given a great opportunity when Nashua hired him to lead … Read more
Rally -“No Mandatory Mask” Protest Planned This Week For Keene, NH
New Hampshire is the only state in New England without a mask mandate. But we have Democrat-run cities, and they love them. So, before the City of Keene chose to implement a city-wide mask ordinance we all knew was coming, David Lheureux was planning a “no mask mandate” protest.
New Hampshire Court Rules City’s Pistols-and-Swords Mandate is Constitutional
Well, not expressly, but I thought I would have some fun by substituting “pistols-and-swords” for “masks” in the recent Superior Court decision giving the thumbs-up to Nashua’s mask mandate:
Clarity – Teachers are Telling us They are Non-Essential but Extortionist in Nature
For those of us around at that time, what teacher’s unions are hinting at sounds like “PATCO” more and more. If you weren’t, that refers to the Federal air traffic controllers that tried to call then-President Reagan’s bluff. By law, they couldn’t strike; they did anyways. They lost – he fired them all.
Nashua: A City without Leadership
Most residents do not understand how much money it is costing us when the City of Nashua retains assessors who do not care about the quality of their work. The result is literally tens of thousands of our tax dollars being erroneously and irresponsibly given away.
Why Would You Oppose a Citizen Who Uncovered Unethical Practices in Local Government?
Some Nashua folks have appeared out of nowhere to take a strong position against the uncovering of unethical practices in the Nashua Assessing Office. What drives these folks?
