Reply to City of Lebanon plans to open child care center to address growing need by NewEnglandBlueberry
This is needed. The Upper Valley is a child care bubble. There are only a few viable childcare providers…some of which have management issues and a rotating door of staff (despite receiving ample COVID relief money). I paid more than $30K for child care last year, and I was probably in the middle of the pack because my kids are slightly older. I know one family with an infant and a toddler that is paying more than $3,500 per month.

Reply to Free State Founder Is Running For Amherst Planning Board Amid Anti-Free Stater Sentiment by TurretLauncher
A good Planning Board member should be fair and unbiased to evaluate each application on its own merits. Planning Board members are supposed to act like judges, not activists. Putting his politics aside, nothing in this article leads me to believe he will have an unbiased approach to a Planning Board position.

I haven’t received my bill yet this month, but if they try to charge anything, I’ll pay directly through my bank instead of Liberty’s website.

The payment website says there is a processing fee, but if you are paying with your bank account, they don’t actually charge anything.

The nominee should be someone who appeals to many groups. Someone who speaks like a New Englander, but is also morbidly obese to appeal to the Deep South. Someone who can get votes from the elderly because he cares about Social Security and Medicare and has earned those benefits himself. Someone who can explain to the voting public that the other candidate would be a disaster.
There is such a man in New Hampshire, it’s not Chris Sununu though.

Entry level (Assistant Teacher) starts at $17/hour at the daycare my kids go to. Lead teachers could start up to $23/hour, but I’ve recently heard of new hires with experience getting up to $25/hour. Other daycares in my area pay less.

It’s a tough job. The pay has improved, but still isn’t anything to write home about ($17-$25/hour at the daycare my kids go to). It’s a highly regulated industry, and often the teachers have to work through breaks to maintain required ratios. There aren’t many new people coming into the industry, so the daycare facilities all try to poach each other’s staff…and the result is chronic staffing shortages and dramatically increasing costs.

I paid $35,000 in daycare fees last year for my two kids. Our daycare pays the highest wages of any daycare in our area, and there is still a ridiculous amount of turnover.

Oh you’re from the south and you’re a great driver, huh? Puhleeaase. I lived in Virginia Beach for a few years. One winter, there was a cold snap and Virginia Beach got an inch and a half of snow. About 5,000 people immediately drove off the interstate. There were cars in ditches everywhere. The whole place closed down for days so they could bring plows down from DC and clean things up.

Big talk on the internet, but you wouldn’t have the balls to call Garry H a liar to his face. He’d drop you like a bad habit, troll.

There’s about to be a civil war in the GOP. Trump vs. DeSantis. The big money GOP donors know that Trump being the candidate in 2024 would be a disaster, so they’ll use their money to back DeSantis. Meanwhile, Trump’s shield against prosecution is to be the candidate. So, he’ll stop at nothing. It’s going to get very, very ugly.

You’ve apparently had quite a change in perspective since yesterday when you said in another sub that, “This is going to be the biggest landslide for republicans than Nixon, mark my words.”

It’s the suburban towns around Manchester moving away from this version of the Republican Party. At their core, these towns are still Yankee republicans…not social conservative election deniers.
Chris Pappas just won Londonderry. Bedford, which was a R+30 town in the past, just elected two Democrat state reps. Critical thinking still exists in NH. That’s why so many people split the ticket to vote for Sununu (a sane Republican) and against the election denier crowd.

The police captain was quoted in the news as saying “It doesn't appear there was any improper driving at this point”. So, the driver is going to have to live with this forever, even though it may not have been their fault. There are lots of terrible drivers in this state, but the driver in this case may not have been one of them.
