New Hampshire’s election system is noted for being honest and accurate. Its purpose is to allow every voter the right to vote in every election. The system “ain’t broke”. In the last legislative session the Republicans passed and the governor signed...

Concerning the proposed casino which is moving forward after Wednesday’s meeting: What do Laurie and Andy Sanborn care about? Are you concerned about the huge increase in traffic congestion that will result from this venture? Making an already...

U.S. Term Limits Article V resolution HCR 4 is being heard by the New Hampshire House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee on Friday, January 20th in the Legislative Office Building (LOB) in Concord. Supporters of term limits (as...

I find the recent focus of the House Education Committee interesting. Pushing for the study of communism and cursive writing while ignoring the study of race and gun violence in our schools. Where are the courses teaching the history of the genocide...

This week the Concord Planning Board will consider the application for Andy Sanborn’s casino to be located on the Heights. He currently owns The Draft and has casino-type gambling already. This would expand it a great deal. I am opposed to the casino...

I would like to urge the planning board and city council to approve the new entertainment venue being proposed by Laurie and Andy Sanborn near the end of Loudon Road. The expanded gaming, restaurant, and brew-pub would be welcome additions to the...

This country has gone crazy with four year degrees. I think there are many individuals who would love to go into nursing, but can’t afford the cost of a four year degree. Let’s get the large hospitals to open their school of nursing programs...

Thank you, Millie LaFontaine (“Our violent national pastimes,” Monitor, 1/15) for your courageous and competent writing regarding professional football and gun ownership. Supporting “the common good over personal freedom” applies to both, and will not...

Four NH state representatives have proposed a bill that may transform single-family neighborhoods in New Hampshire. HB 44 does not include provisions to require construction of affordable housing. HB 44 also threatens NH green space on existing lots....

Why are Republicans so fearful of their fellow representatives that they feel the need to arm themselves in the NH State House chamber? Our legislature is a deliberative body. It should be a bastion of civil discourse and responsible government, not...

Stop being barbaric, medical professionals. Is there a shortage of lidocaine? Too many people are relating their excruciating painful outpatient experiences to me, because I am a retired nurse of a 50 year career. I was an office nurse for a surgeon...

Only one Congressional Republican attended the service outside our U.S. Capitol to honor those who defended and died defending our democracy. Do I need say more? Kevin Monahan Bow

I’m someone who has felt our defense spending to be outrageously high for many years. The Republicans have on their agenda significant cuts to our defense budget. Ordinarily I would welcome this. Now, however is a time of great peril in the world....

Before Brazil’s former Pres. Bolsonaro ran for reelection in 2022, Trump endorsed him. Atlantic magazine quoted Trump about Bolsonaro saying, “He fights hard for, and loves, the people of Brazil – just like I do for the people of the United States.”...

As a former Concord School Board member and a member of the 2021 charter commission that drafted the current rule that has excluded Ms. West, I have always been an opponent of ward voting for the board. Unlike the city council, school issues are not...

News at year’s end was the typical recap of events, including the employment forecast, featuring Marjorie Taylor Greene’s assertion that immigrants were stealing American jobs. To debunk that claim, one has only to look at the election of Rep. George...

2022 was a complete failure for Americans. Stock prices fell the most since 2008, the cryptocurrency industry is practically bankrupt, inflation soared, home sales declined and the border is wide open. Americans lost trillions of dollars thanks to...

In 1955, William F. Buckley Jr. described conservatives as “the disciples of truth who defend the moral order.” Unfortunately, the GOP is no longer a bastion of truth and moral conservatism, nor is it even a reliable defender of the democratic...

I voted for Kate West to represent me on the Concord School Board. I am a resident of Ward 4 and I met Ms. West before the election. I also knew that her candidacy was supported by people I trust. I am angry that the Concord School Board has taken...

In the recent midterms and in August of this year, six states (CA, MT, KY, MI, VT, KS) had abortion rights on the ballot as referendums. Three of these states, Montana, Kentucky and Kansas are about as blood red as you can get. Yet in each of these...
