Chris Thomson’s Op-Ed "YDC Lawsuits: The most disturbing case of fraud ever seen in NH” was a welcome fresh take on the YDC cases. I noticed David Vicinanzo’s comment under it. He is one of the lead attorneys suing the State. He doth protest too much. He was a federal prosecutor in Concord in the 1990s when the majority of the abuse at YDC allegedly took place.

Surging child care prices have grabbed the media’s attention here in New Hampshire, and rightly so.

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend an event that had a major impact on my patriotism and reinforced my strong belief about how fortunate we are to live in the United States of America.

Ever since Donald Trump began his second term as President of the United States, there has been a constant barrage of activity. The pace at which the Trump administration works is something that leaves most people in awe. I’m not quite sure how he gets the energy he has, but I am thankful we have a president working so hard for us every day.

When you open your electric bill, you expect to pay for the power you use and the wires that deliver it. What you probably don’t expect is to help cover someone else’s energy losses—especially when those losses come from an investor owned utility.

A few months ago, I was having dinner with a fourteen-year-old member of my family. We were talking about the news and what is going on in the world and we struck up a conversation about current events.
