Andover – A resident on Franklin Highway in Andover has erected a sign saying: “Die with GOP – Louise Andrus”, and decorated the sign with fake bloody severed body parts, even including skulls. The sign appears to call for the killing and dismembering of State Representative Andrus. The use of violent rhetoric in politics has […]
Thank you Tyler Czarkowski for “America needs systemic change” (online, Concord Monitor, April 20). You are so right! I urge you to consider that all politics starts locally. Plenty is happening within our state of New Hampshire that is driven by a national agenda driven by billionaires. Many of our New Hampshire representatives are funded […]
Janet Moore, Vicky and Jon Mishcon
As many of you know, our Mom, Betty Manahan, fell and broke her femur on roadside sand while reaching for the mailbox several weeks ago. A sightseeing couple driving by stopped and provided aid and called 911 and stayed with her until I came running out and Vick and Jon arrived. Next on the scene […]
It's important to know who supports which issues
As the legislative session comes to a close, it is essential for voters to understand what bills your legislator sponsored and what they voted for or against. The current Republican legislature is very different from the Republican legislature of 25 years ago that worked to make the quality of life in New Hampshire number one […]
Scott and I want to extend a very sincere thank you for picking out our ticket in your recent Raffle for Red Sox Opening Day with the gift card for the Cask and Flagon restaurant. The whole experience was once in a lifetime. We were a bit overwhelmed with all the Red Sox fans, wearing […]

They must be firm in their convictions for the common good, and base their decisions not on personalities or popularity but instead on the use of good judgment to advance […]
Louise! My reaction to your co-sponsorship of Bill HB 1473 is: No social-emotional learning in schools? No relationships, mentoring, civic engagement? Where did you get this?! Have you not seen what happened to kids of all ages during the COVID-19 pandemic? Not only did they lose valuable academic skills and time, they also lost the […]
Some days ago I listened to the former candidate for Chancellor of Germany, Mr Armin Laschet, who was giving a speech warning of the dangers of extreme right positions within some groups in current German society. His warning: “Don’t let these groups come close to governmental functions; they will use their positions to destroy democracy.” Does this […]
The Town of Danbury Selectmen irresponsibly, in my opinion, voted to “recommend” an ill-advised $3M, 20-year bond for a so-called “safety center” (Article 4 on the ballot). In contrast, the Budget Committee wisely “does not recommend” the article. Meanwhile, voters in the towns of Groton, Bridgewater, and Hebron will be voting on whether or not […]
