Letter: Ayotte’s shortsighted inaugural address

Letter: Support for Beaver Meadow clubhouse

Linda Mattlage was spot on with her MyTurn “Why a new golf clubhouse is a good idea for Concord.” Phil Davis and his staff have done a wonderful job turning the course around in recent years and making money for the city. A new clubhouse will only make more money for the city! Good luck to Phil, his wonderful staff and the city of Concord in getting this done.

Letter: NH landfills are on life support

Having listened to the incoming governor (inauguration speech) for New Hampshire, Kelly Ayotte, there were truths mixed with the missing details relative to those truths. One subject is very real and is looming around the corner. It is great that Dalton will not be subjected to a proposed landfill. However, nothing was cited as to what the state intends on doing concerning the fact that 40 percent of waste going into New Hampshire landfills is from out of state.

Letter: No “hate” for Trump

Supporters of President Donald Trump might judge his opposition as “hate.” Too simplifying. During his first run, Trump’s demeaning past talk of women’s bodies raised fast objections from Kelly Ayotte who said her teen daughter shouldn’t hear such language. This time around, Ayotte is saying her daughter is now older and can handle it.

Letter: 24-hour warming needed now

  Now is indeed the time to study and plan for a 24-hour warming center for next year. Still, that won’t keep anyone warm now. There is an immediate need to keep people warm now, today, tonight, next week. Do you want to know why we see fires in homeless camps? Guess what? They’re trying to keep warm! It’s below-freezing out there! Temporary solutions must be found as soon as possible!

Letter: Same old, same old

Regarding a Jan. 11 My Turn, the writer provides the same old anti Israel, anti-semetic rhetoric that has been heard before. Fourteen paragraphs of attacks against Israel, without one sentence regarding the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, the heinous murders committed or the kidnapping of innocent Israelis who are being held in the tunnels in Gaza or by Gazan families. There is nothing in the article regarding Hamas using schools, mosques and hospitals as command centers or storage centers for weapons. No, there is no genocide in Gaza. What is happening is an unfortunate war initiated by Hamas using the people of Gaza as pawns in a game to destroy Israel and the Jewish people.

Letter: Keep Concord out of harm’s way

In response to the addition of Nakba Day on the city calendar, the Capital City needs to leave world politics to the federal government where it belongs, and immediately refocus on caring for the 44,769 people who already live here. The number 44,769 needs to show prominently on the city’s website home page. The figure 44,769 needs to appear in the mission statement. The quantity 44,769 needs to become ever-present in the minds of leadership because those are the only people they have been hired and elected to serve.
