Support Gilmanton Library (https://www.concordmonitor.com) Opinion > Letters (/Opinion/Letters/) Letter: Support Gilmanton library (/byline?byline=) Published: 3/12/2017 12:35:12 AM Support Gilmanton library Next Tuesday, March 14, residents of Gilmanton will vote on support for our Year-Round Library. How lucky are we that a dedicated group of volunteers raised all the money and labored many, many hours to provide us with this beautiful building? And that every year members of our community contribute to keep costs down such that Article 23 is only asking for partial funding for the year? NHPR recently had a story about the 300th anniversary of our state library, mentioning that our state has 234 communities, and 234 public libraries. Yes, every other town in our state supports a public library to some degree. 00:02 / 00:30 SKIP AD Yearly many of us pay for local roads on which we never drive, for schools even though we do not have children in them, and for public safety services even though, thankfully, we have never needed them. So even if you do not use the library, many in our community do. Like libraries across the globe, ours has been adapting to the digital age, oering many services other than lending books: Internet connection, computer use, e-book loans, DVDs, passes to state museums, etc. Yet, some in our community are clinging to a long-held grudge about an aspiration once expressed that perhaps money could be raised for the on-going expenses of the library. It was never a promise, and it is beyond time to let it go. Be grateful for what we have and vote “yes” on Article 23 on Tuesday. ANNIE H.

Chris Sununu while oering dierent blueprints for tackling some of New Hampshire’s biggest issues at an online forum this week. Feltes – the state Senate majority leader om Concord who has taken the decades-old pledge to veto a state sales or income tax – said during the Thursday night forum that “I don’t support a broad-based income tax. I know that some folks do.” That was an indirect jab at Volinsky, a fellow Concord Democrat who represents District 2 on the state’s ‹ve-member Executive Council. Volinsky has refused to take the pledge, arguing that no options should be taken o the table. Feltes pointed to the “concrete results” of last year’s budget, which he said was the “most progressive budget in state history with the greatest public school education funding in state history.” Feltes shouldn’t feel too proud, Volinsky noted. New Hampshire remains “50th in the nation for state support of public education even under this progressive budget.

  • About the Institute Fellows for 2012
    About the Institute Fellows for 2012 ... LYNN ARDITI LYNN ARDITI is a reporter for The Providence Journal who has written about the economy, the housing crisis, prostitution, and, most recently, child welfare. During her years on the business staff, she wrote extensively about homeowners who were duped into signing high-rate mortgages and the middlemen who made their living evicting tenants and clearing out the properties after the banks foreclosed. More recently, she has focused on the abuses and failures of the state’s child welfare system. Her story about magistrates who locked up juveniles for truancy offense (“Truants Behind Bars”) won first place for investigate reporting from the New England Associated Press News Executives Association, 2011. Before coming to the Journal in 1989, she worked as a staff writer at the Center for Investigative Reporting in Washington, D.C., where she developed a story for “60 Minutes” about the abuses of strip mining companies, and as a reporter at the Holyoke Transcript- Telegram in Massachusetts. She is a graduate of Oberlin College in Ohio and lives in Rhode Island with her husband and their two teenage sons. SHAWN BEALS ShawN BEALS is 27 and a lifelong Connecticut resident. He graduated from Manchester High School in 2003 and from UConn in 2007. He started out in college as an engineering major, but quickly found out that the heavy workload of math and science courses was not for him. He worked at the Journal Inquirer for a few months in 2008 after graduating, then moved to the Hartford Courant in April of 2008.
