My Turn

Tax expert made life easier for her neighbors

When a person dies, friends and family reflect on the ways in which that person will be missed.

Alternatives to payday loans exist

The New Hampshire House passed a cap on payday loans at 36 percent. The payday lending industry, which makes these loans at interest rates sometimes exceeding 500 percent, claims this will put it out of business and prompted Rep. Stephen DeStefano, who opposed the cap ("Capping payday lender interest rates will deprive consumers", Monitor, Jan. 16) to ask where people with short-term… 0

Celebrate a changing Concord

This evening from 5 to 9 p.m., the area around the State House will come alive with a celebration of Concord culture. Multi-culture, in fact, is the order of the evening for the second Concord Multicultural festival. A dedicated committee from the Greater Concord Area Task Force Against Racism and Intolerance has been working hard for several months to put this project together.… 0
