  • Margin Campaigns.

     

    The upcoming race for the Second Congressional District gets more interesting by the day. The latest entry to this western district is Concord Firefighter and Democratic State Representative John Dejoie.

    I think this is a margin campaign.

    There are already other candidates and capital in this race that will far outpace anything [...]

  • Legislative Ethics Committee.

     

    About a week and a half ago I noticed that the NH House Committee on Ethics announced that it was starting an investigation of the matter relative to the state lease of the Milford-Bennington Railroad and the influence of Rep. Peter Leishman over the lease. Rep. Leishman is the owner [...]

  • Conchiglione is good.

     

    One of the things I’m continually trying to improve on is my cooking. I’ve had some successes with casseroles and quiches. My attempt at a pot roast was like my attempt to run for State Representative three years ago against then incumbent Rep. Martha McLeod from Franconia.

    Excuse my french, I [...]

  • Nashua Coal Train Derails.

     

     This incident I think shows what is wrong with the NH Rail Authority and more specifically, its leader former Senator Peter Burling.

    The various news accounts reported the extent of the derailment which was seven loaded coal cars “on the ground” and the disruption of motor vehicle traffic in the greater Nashua area [...]

  • What if food like politicians told the truth.

    Number of comments: 2

     

    On route 2 in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont in the town of Danville there is a fairly good sized farm with an incredible view of the mountains. As an example of how good this view is, on a clear day I believe it is possible to see the ski slopes [...]

  • Kindling starts a fire.

     

    Why is Jennifer Horn running for Congress?

    Why.

    I’ve asked this question and I’m asking it again.

    An example of my frustration is the guest editorial that appears on this very board. All the issues facing New Hampshire and the Second Congressional District and Ms. Horn writes an article about being a Republican.

    Where [...]

  • Halifax Precis.

     

    When transportation secretary Ray LaHood was in New Hampshire he didn’t say anything specific about economic development and jobs sans his broad statement to the media that the administration had created or will create 3.5 million jobs. This statement was closely followed by New Hampshire officials selling the advantages of [...]

  • Should Nashua have a seat?

     

    In a post below titled Defend This the author Steve MacDonald has an issue with Rep. Murtha’s handing of legislative procedure. It’s a fair argument but if the facts ever pan out I think this will cast a different light on this whole matter and thus showing that the political and legislative [...]

  • The politics of positive.

    Number of comments: 4

     

    In NH politics I think it’s easy to become cynical and negative. Regardless of what the issues are or what the campaigns say or don’t say, anyone that has spent time in the Statehouse knows what I mean.

    A day at the Statehouse:

    Lobbyists, agendas, ideas, legislation and more lobbyists. Deal making [...]

  • Fiction or Fluff.

    Number of comments: 4

     

    United States Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood was recently in New Hampshire. “And we’re on track to create and save a total of at least 3.5 million jobs by next fall.” he said. The article which this is quoted from appears in Laconia Citizen also included some statements about high-speed [...]
