Selectman candidates on Meet the New Press Saturday at 9
Hold onto your hats!
Starting Saturday morning at 9 am!
This week is town meeting/election time for many towns in NH. Here in our little slice of Heaven that iis Central NH, we have an exciting and vibrant body politic-- especially in our little town of Gilford. Ever since we adopted SB2, things have only gotten better! Here's the lineup:
.
- We are pleased to announce that four of the five Selectmen candidates will stop by for a quick visit. Dennis Corrigan, John Goodhue, Kevin Hayes, and Dale "Chan" Eddy are all confirmed. This should be exciting.
- Roger F. Moran of Hobe Sound, FL wrote an excellent letter about reducing government spending rather than to raise taxes, which we printed in this post. Wrote Roger:
A family living frugally can always tighten their belts a notch more during adverse times. There isn't a small business that, squeezed in a recession, cannot cut its overhead. There isn't an international conglomerate which, under pressure, cannot improve its bottom line.
Only federal, state and local governments seem unable to perform this basic necessity.
See what I mean about all politics being local? What Roger writes is totally applicable here in NH, too.
- Once again, given that it's on the ballot in many towns around us here in Central NH, we'll talk about the benefits of adopting the Official Ballot (SB2) method of voting for local matters. While the opponents are crying to high Heaven, the fact remains that by accepting this change at town and school district meetings, NOTHING REALLY CHANGES except that the final decisions are made in the privacy of a booth with all day voting and the opportunity to vote absentee. Oh, and participation goes way up...
The Granite State Fair Tax Coalition declined our offer to join us on the show to defend their "anti-taxpayer pledge" warrant article appearing on 88 town warrants, including ours, this year here in the Granite State. As we have noted in prior postings, this is nothing more than a means to demonize our present form of property tax driven government funding system with a new, broad based tax, thus destroying the NH Advantage. VOTE NO!
There you have it! It all starts at 9AM EST Saturday. Tune in if you're in Central NH at NewsTalk 1490AM WEMJ or live on the 'Net here... The best radio (in our humble opinions) anywhere...
