ORTOLANO: Alderman Thibeault – Transparency Is Not Petty

Thu, 2025-09-25 16:00 +0000

Derek Thibeault used his weekly newsletter to call a request for the August 7, 2025, non-public Nashua Board of Aldermen minutes “petty.” Transparency is never petty; it is the people’s right, and the Board broke the law. The Board entered that closed session without reading the statutory language required by RSA 91-A. That isn’t a ... Read more

Thu, 2025-09-25 09:00 +0000

Kamala Harris is out pimping her book 107 Days, which, despite excellent pre-sale numbers and multiple #1 rankings (at least on Amazon), has arrived to little acclaim and a lot of Democrat grousing.

Thu, 2025-09-25 02:00 +0000
