Young Chris has been acting like the characteristic adolescent with a little money burning a hole in his pocket. Now Chris is looking for a place to spend it. Seems he’s found the right place after checking out a number of options. Texas is it!...

In the Feb. 19 Monitor, Jonathan P. Baird wrote a very interesting My Turn about the death of Leo Frank, a Jewish person who was hanged by a prejudiced lynch mob. The My Turn was well written, informative, and thought provoking. Many different races...

This week’s Granite Geek gave me an ‘AHA’ moment. I thought that my brain, along with the rest of my body, was turning 70 soon, and thus the crossword that was always my “easy” one was a bit more challenging. But no it’s not me, it’s the actual...

I write to introduce “Concord Concerned Citizens,” a grassroots group dedicated to enhancing education in our community. We believe every child deserves a top-notch education and strive to work with the school board, staff, and residents to achieve...

Trump is mad because all these court dates are keeping him off the campaign trail. Other citizens don’t get to tell a judge “I’m busy that day.” How about sending Melania in his place, or has she been deployed out of the country? Judith A. Ackerson...

At a rally in South Carolina Donald Trump stated that he told a NATO leader that if the country was “delinquent” in it’s payment to NATO and if Russia attacked that “I would not protect you, in fact I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they...

Support of Chris Sununu for the Texas governor is out of place. How about instead if you, our governor, show some support for the federal government and its agencies that are working on the border and frankly their responsibility. Not a peep about the...

Millie LaFontaine’s My Turn (Monitor, 2/17) justifiably defends the president’s capacity to lead the nation following the release of Special Counsel Hur’s classified documents case report. I wholeheartedly agree with her findings but wish to point out...

Alexei Navalny’s unfortunate murder put an exclamation point on the difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Trump cozies up to Putin, a bloodthirsty dictator, who will kill anyone who speaks out against him. Biden condemns Putin and his...

The benefits of community power are clear. It can provide lower energy costs through consolidating purchasing power while allowing residents to choose more renewable energy sources. Concord’s Energy and Environment Advisory Committee has been...

For years, Republican lawmakers in New Hampshire have championed “Right-to-Work” laws as safeguards against forced union membership and political contribution coercion. However, this narrative is misleading. The prohibition against compelling workers...

There are two types of national debt: intragovernmental and public. Intragrovernmental debt consists of the Federal Reserve (FDIC), Social Security and the VA. We all own the public debt: individual investors, institutions (banks), government employee...

Mid-February and no ice is visible on the Merrimack River as I drive north on I-93 in Concord! Amazing. Doug Hall Chichester

Let me get this straight. Gov Chris Sununu now wants to spend $850,000 to send 15 NH National Guard troops to Texas to help with border protection. Yet just last week the governor’s own Republican Party sabotaged a bipartisan bill months in the...

While I was preparing dinner this week I began choking and coughing to the point where my husband became concerned for my health. When I regained my composure, I explained to him that I had just heard Gov. Sununu say, on WMUR, that he will petition...

In a publicity stunt designed to distract from the failure of Congressional House Republicans to pass a bipartisan approved Senate border security bill, lame duck Governor Sununu is requesting $850,000 to send 15 NH National Guardsmen to the Texas...

In a Feb. 12 My Turn in the Monitor, Lisa Beaudoin argued that health policy should be driven by evidence-based research, not by how people feel. While that may be true, it does not mean that individuals should not have options nor that their...

HB 1473, prohibiting social/ emotional education in public schools, is being considered by the House Education Committee. I urge readers to contact their representatives and oppose this bill. I sent the sponsors and the committee leadership this...

This story was to cover the 2/6 town budget hearing and included a petitioned warrant article presented to the select board the night before. I’m sure I’m not the only person who saw this and thought, “Here we go again.” In the Monitor E-edition,...

The governor has asked for $850,000 to help address “border issues” over 2,000 miles away. I would remind supporters of this ill-advised proposal that the U.S. Senate recently passed bipartisan legislation that would have provided $20 billion in money...
