Do/will 40,000 cars a day go west onto 101 and the FE Turnpike/ How will this lessen traffic on 3A in Hudson?

I was heardy Bernie Streeter say that this road would be a new way to Nashua and Rt 3, So I am going to take a detour (Pay a toll) into Litchfield, Hudson and then back onto the FE Turnpike.

Would be interesting to know who owns interest in the land around and which politicians have been given PAC money and how they will vote. Roads and intrastructure should not be held by private companies.

Re: Outlet mall saga picks up Tuesday

Concerned Merrimack Resident — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 10:12:10 -0000

How can MVD supply water to the mall when the management tells us that Merrimack is on Odd/Even days year round due to possible water shortages during the year? All of a sudden MVD seems to be scrambling to find more water. (Tried this 10 yrs ago and could not locate a new source ). Last I knew the developer had a series of open issues that was going to be brought up in this round. If there is concern about time with public input, why not do a meeting on a Saturday? This project needs to be reviewed very closley and in great detail. If the mall is going to built, I would hope that all sensitive issues will be examined and have backup plans in case of failures. However this project goes could open up the floodgates for more large malls and big box.

I have had the box since Jan 08 and have been through 5 boxes. They last a few weeks and then stop working. I have heard others with the same problem. Comcsat could car less. Although, all the technicians have been great. I gave the last one back and cancelled. I will live with the cheapest Ipackage from Comcast. To bad we have no other choices in cable.. I think Comcast is terrible. On the other hand all the cable companies are the same. Once they get into the area and become a monoply, they can preety much do what they want.

Will be interesting to see when the mall is built and taxes go up in Merrimack due to the mall. Merrimack will be responsible for All road improvments and infrastructure after the mall is built. Besides, these are going to premimum stores with very little discounts. The Mall group is paying for the Merrimack consultants. Look at Exit 10 at 5pm, usually backed up into Nashua and well into exit 11. Turnpike is 2 lanes at exit 10.

Arron, Wow! Take a deep breath. Iwas making a joke. did I hit a nerve? The issues you speak of are caused by both parties. If someone wants to change Washington, start with term limits, No pensions or life time medical coverage for politicians. I doubt our fore fathers wanted to see a 40 year senator or house rep with a life time pension. At this point in time I am sick of both parties. Understand what ?that liberals tend to spend money they don't have .Only to add more taxes, borrow more money. ALL politicians like to spend our money on many itmes that are worthless.

No one wants to work on the problems. where are are house leaders? ON VACATION! God forbid they stay in Washington and make a comment ofr vote that will not get them reelected.

Article did not specify if Reznikow was carring concealed or in the open. Do not need a permit NH to carry in the open. Also, not allowed to discharge a firearm with a certain distance of an occupied building or within a city limits. Firing a bullet - One needs remember that the bullet will fall some place and with some velocity to do damage.

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

looking at your reasoning, may as well have no hiking/walking trails anywhere. COMMON SENSE!! Which is not common these days with many people.

Off Subject a little, just wanted to correct you regarding Barney Frank

Boston Globe (Liberal newspaper) and Fox News

Lawmaker Accused of Fannie Mae Conflict of Interest
Friday, October 03, 2008

By Bill Sammon

WASHINGTON — Unqualified home buyers were not the only ones who benefitted from Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank’s efforts to deregulate Fannie Mae throughout the 1990s.

So did Frank’s partner, a Fannie Mae executive at the forefront of the agency’s push to relax lending restrictions.

Now that Fannie Mae is at the epicenter of a financial meltdown that threatens the U.S. economy, some are raising new questions about Frank's relationship with Herb Moses, who was Fannie’s assistant director for product initiatives. Moses worked at the government-sponsored enterprise from 1991 to 1998, while Frank was on the House Banking Committee, which had jurisdiction over Fannie.

Although Frank now blames Republicans for the failure of Fannie and Freddie, he spent years blocking GOP lawmakers from imposing tougher regulations on the mortgage giants. In 1991, the year Moses was hired by Fannie, the Boston Globe reported that Frank pushed the agency to loosen regulations on mortgages for two- and three-family homes, even though they were defaulting at twice and five times the rate of single homes, respectively.
I am going off subject, however according to Foxnews the following regarding Barny Frank and the Fannie May mess
Although Frank now blames Republicans for the failure of Fannie and Freddie, he spent years blocking GOP lawmakers from imposing tougher regulations on the mortgage giants. In 1991, the year Moses was hired by Fannie, the Boston Globe reported that Frank pushed the agency to loosen regulations on mortgages for two- and three-family homes, even though they were defaulting at twice and five times the rate of single homes, respectively.

Three years later, President Clinton’s Department of Housing and Urban Development tried to impose a new regulation on Fannie, but was thwarted by Frank. Clinton now blames such Democrats for planting the seeds of today’s economic crisis.

I should correct myself. Democrats tend to want to tax and spend. Look at the NH house last year and how many new taxes are in place. If I don't have the money, I cut back. I cannot borrow money if I am short funds. The democrats are the ones who want to have a sales/income tax, that is a known fact. Yes, I have kids and when mine are out of school, I too will be paying for others.

Re: Hate-driven liberals out to destroy Palin

Concerned Merrimack Resident — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:57:49 -0000

For all of those who think Palin has no expereince being a VP, How does Obama have the experience being President? Almost the same age and less expereince in office.

For those that think Biden is a good pick:

Joe Biden, a constitutional law professor, can’t identify the part of the Constitution that establishes the legislative branch of the federal government. Today we find out that Biden can’t count, either. I guess our educational system really does need an overhaul

Look, John’s last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs.

Re: Hate-driven liberals out to destroy Palin

Concerned Merrimack Resident — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 14:00:21 -0000

The only reason Obama got elected is the country was fed up with the repubilcan party. No one trusted Clinton.

Does anyone think Biden was a good choice as VP? 30 plus years in goverment? Does that make him the best choice? Accordeing to his comments, he was not the best choice as VP. Does not know the consitution.

Obama stated he wanted change in Washingrton. However, looking at his vp selection and maybe his other staff we will see.

Obama now has complete control of our goverment. Hopefully he will not screw up to badly.

Overall, we had very little choice this time around (again).

Concerned Merrimack Resident — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 17:22:12 -0000

Thomson coined the slogans "Low taxes are the result of low spending" and "Ax the Tax" to represent his fiscal philosophy. He eventually became recognized as one of the most conservative governors in the nation. During his tenure, the state reinstituted the death penalty and abolished a majority of New Hampshire's taxes (income, capital gains, sales, etc.).
We need Mel back as our Gov.

He was also a strong proponent of state sovereignty. When Thomson learned Massachusetts tax agents were at New Hampshire liquor stores taking down the numbers on cars with Massachusetts license plates, he had them arrested.[4] When he learned that Maine had arrested a Portsmouth (New Hampshire) lobsterman, in Maine waters, he began what was known as the "Lobster war." The conflict ended in the U.S. Supreme Court with the drawing of an ocean boundary between the two states at the mouth of the Piscataqua River.

She did not even read the bill according to her Dover office. She talked to the "Experts". How can you vote on something that large and have no idea what you just voted on.

Another example of lemmings follwing their leader. Oh but wait according to her pre election propoganda, she does not vote all party lines, only 98%.

As they will nevr allow term limits on them. And why should they, free medical and a nice pension, as well as various other free perks.

Re: Beaver trapping story perpetuates myths

Concerned Merrimack Resident — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:26:17 -0000

How else would you "dispose" of them.? The only other way to dispose of them is to shoot them.

Beaver traps are not leg hold type. They are dssigned to breal their necks. Beaver traps are positioned in their trail runs at the edge of the water.

Whoever placed the trap in the woods where a dog, person can step in it did the placement illegally.

And annoyed, I was commenting on the first comment. I aslo love this website to read comments like yours.

According to their (Chelsea)financial information Chelsea has 18.94 billion in Debt and 773.5 million in cash. One of their largest malls in Fl is facing Foreclosure. Last I recall Mall was going to cost about 125 million to construct and that was a few years back. Will be interesting to hear how they will obtain the loans to build.
