DISQUS

It's a shame that those who seek political positions do not lead by example.

There ought to be a rule that no candidate for any political position should run for election it he/she has a crimib=nal record or have field for bankruptcy. I personally was shocked to se Louzeau with $1 million left to creditors for a restaunrant that was nowhere near worth 1/3 of that including goodwill value! ONE million!


Now I hope al those who lost on these election will do their civic duty and collect their posters and signs left behing to keep our city clean!

Welcomed to Eduardo.


I too came from Brazil (via Canada where I lived 18 years) when I got a job transfer to New Hampshire and settled here. Few people know I am actually Brazilian.


The community is growing here (has been since Nashua was voted best small city to live in USA) and with this comes cultural differences and changes.


To have coverage of the Brazilian community is nice, but one must remember that Brazilians in not the only recent ethnic group to establish in this area. The is growing contingent from Hispanic countires in Latin America, new Canadian groups and former Soviet countries.


With this addition I trust Eduardo is also a resident in the area so that he not only reports about the community but also understands who they are. I sometimes do, but having been so integrated with my family here (my wife is a native of Nashua and we have 2 boys ages 9 and 7) I hardly "blend" with the Brazilian community (in terms of festivities, etc) other than going to local stores and restaurants.


I believe there are two "Brazilian Worlds here", with distinct phylosophies. Something that perhaps can be a topic of future discussion.
