Rising property taxes are being ignored
This will be my last report before the November 4 election. Yes, it has been two years since the voters of Merrimack District 1 — Andover, Danbury, and Salisbury — did me the honor of electing me to the New Hampshire legislature. I want to thank all who wrote letters endorsing my re-election; your support is what […]
I live in Danbury, and I am very glad that Mario Ratzki and David Karrick have been our members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives for the last two years. Even though Danbury is the smallest town in their respective districts, they work together as a team to seek our views and pay attention […]
I support Mario Ratzki and David Karrick for State Representatives. Both aim to serve us in Andover. They have worked hard, and they have kept us informed, as we knew from their reports in the Beacon. Both have worked productively with other representatives, regardless of party affiliation, for New Hampshire. In addition, I am backing […]
We enthusiastically support Mario Ratzki for another term as state representative for Danbury, Salisbury, and Andover. Mario has worked hard in the legislature and has done a great job of keeping Beacon readers fully informed on his positions on legislative issues. We feel hugely fortunate to be represented by Mario Ratzki. Tim and Susan Norris
Congratulations to the organizers of the Rail Trail Run and Ride event on September 27 and to all the volunteers who contributed their time, talents, and energy to make the day a success. I biked the 50k route with my lifelong friend Charlie Darling and enjoyed every minute. We came in dead last, but I […]
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Every decision – financial, political, and/or social – results in intended and unintended consequences. For the past six years the American people supported the President, expecting that we could “transform” the country in positive ways. This did not happen. Enabled and abetted by Harry Reid, Nancy […]
I am writing in support of Kathy Rago for State Senate, District 7. As a small business owner in the Lakes Region, I have found it becoming more difficult to do business in New Hampshire, with higher and higher fuel costs and the increasing fees that I am charged by the state for simply doing […]
It has been our pleasure to have become friends with Mario Ratzki and his wife Caroline. While searching New England for a new home after Boston, Andover won out, and they are very pleased with their choice, as are we. They are both exemplars of public service. Mario is finishing a most successful first term […]
State revenues will fall short
We had our last legislative session on September 17 to address the Governor’s vetoes of three bills. A two-thirds vote is necessary to overturn a veto. A Yes vote was to overturn, a No vote to uphold. HB 591, an anti-bullying bill which the Governor thought was written too broadly. Veto sustained by a vote […]
I wanted to write in support of Mario Ratzki and let others know of the help he gave me in getting health insurance coverage. I was divorced in 2009 and without health insurance, as the three jobs that I worked were all with small part-time employers. Mario heard about my situation, and because I was a […]
