Local voices chime in on a variety of topics.
Governor Sununu has said, and still knows, that this commuter rail deal would be the worst boondoggle in NH’s history. It is hoped he will use common sense and VETO the whole thing before it destroys us.
Citizen Journalists have a duty to present facts in an unbiased way to inform voters on the issues without spin or agendas. Ms. Aitkens letter presented many points that need clarification.
Got myself a “get out of town” pass for 48 hours recently without having any real reason to leave town. I just made my way toward Nowhere, all for the heck of it. Sometimes that’s the only place worth seeing. So I saw.
You can write to the House Public Works and Highways Committee and ask, who voted yes… as we need to know who to blame for this travesty when it fails to deliver.
I am choosing to continue to serve Manchester as Alderwoman at-large. I have confidence that I can represent the city as a whole with positivity; integrity; respect for all citizens; strength; and reasonableness. For the past several years this position on the board has been vastly underserved. I am running to change that dynamic.
The vibe of the night felt safe, felt confident, felt orchestrated and contrived. Pete did not mention the name of the current leader of the free world, provided only subtle digs at Republicans, and offered nourishment to a very thirsty crowd.
Please let the House of Representatives and the Governor know that considering the failures of commuter rail in almost every other state where it has been tried, you do not support it.
And if anyone else cares to bathe alongside me in Kate’s light, join us at The Bookery on Elm Street in Manchester this Friday May 24 at 6:30 p.m. where you can see Dobbins, Kate West, Nick Ferraro and Jasmine Mann — all incredible songwriters — joining me as I read from my new book, “Notes From the Last Breath Farm: A Music Junkies Quest to Be Heard,” which is for sale at the Bookery, and on Amazon.
Our shift began on Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. where I attended roll call. Everyone was dressed and on time as the Captain reviewed everyone’s coverage area for the second shift which ends at 11 p.m. They all examined their AR-15s and tested their tasers before getting the keys to their assigned vehicle.
We could cut the statewide property tax – a tax no voter ever raised their paddle for – by half. We could reinstate stabilization grant funding. And more. It can happen if enough people just show up.
As a fan of Boston sports teams, and also a guy who likes studying the Bible, for the last couple of months or more I’ve been focused on comparisons between “Joseph Prince of Egypt” and Thomas the “GOAT” of New England. Both of them as young men had really big dreams. And both of them were hated by their brothers for dreams so lofty that would lead to tremendous dynasties.
“I appreciate and respect the reasons the gentleman placed his Bible on the table but I feel it is inappropriate and, indeed, unconstitutional, for this display. By placing the Bible there, you are saying “this display honors Christians” and that is disrespectful to service personnel of other faiths and no faiths.”
Ward 2 Alderman Will Stewart and Department of Public Works staff have invited the neighborhood to discuss the pilot project a meeting this evening 6 p.m. at Mt. Carmel Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, (235 Myrtle St.). Between tonight’s meeting and a second meeting to collect public feedback on the change, the neighborhood should consider supporting a fully-protected bike lane along Maple Street and eventually Beech Street.
This dangerous provision must be stopped. If allowed to be included, it would be a blatant power grab and a direct attack on every municipality’s right to direct its own future. It nullifies the vote of the people.
The last time I waited to meet up with a guy in a bar on a Friday night was probably 1992. Last night, I waited for presidential candidate Andrew Yang at Portsmouth’s Gas Light Bar and I felt as young as I did in ‘92; I am tempted to join the Yang Gang.
Like a compass needle, her magnetism pointed me exactly in the direction I needed to go, whether we ever really knew it or not. Just as the invisible moon pulls at the ocean, even through a sky of clouds, my mother continues to move me.
Warren’s CARE Act supports local decision making and federal research and programs to prevent drug use while funding evidence-based treatments and recovery support services.
The NH legislature, in complete disregard of NH’s locals, passed NH SB 43 to “study barriers to increased density of land development in NH.”
Send everyone in the house out of the house. Turn off your phone. Purchase your favorite wine. Order your favorite take-out. Put on your fuzzy slippers. Watch “Cleopatra” and feel like the queen you are. Take a tip from Elizabeth Taylor and enjoy your special day without apology.
That’s what NH should be focusing on, well paying jobs, not expensive underutilized trains. …giving people less reason to work out of state, not more.
