Here are a few Legislative items that have caught my attention this month that might be of interest to Andover citizens: New Hampshire House Bill 101 would bar voters registered as independents from voting in a primary election unless they chose a party affiliation at least four months prior. Andover Republican representative Alvin See spoke […]

Happy February! Spring is just around the corner. We have been very fortunate to have the mild winter to date. It has definitely helped with the heating bills. Annual school meetings, annual town meetings, and public hearings will be coming up in February and March. Meeting dates vary from town to town. Go to your […]
Fellow Citizens: After a long, but seriously rewarding campaign (which for me included a nine-week transfer station appearance blitz), the people have spoken and the results are in: 1.
