Are ‘Safe Boaters’ just fast, loud out-of-state boaters?
To the Editor: I heard about this new organization called “Safe Boaters of New Hampshire.” Sounds good. Who wouldn’t want to be part of that? Turns out it is just the latest in a string of high speed boating groups put together ad hoc to fight our boating speed limit. …

We need Fiscal Responsibility, Not Greed
To the Editor: If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, the Bedford tax hikes are a perfect example. Everyone involved is convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that their cause is genuine and will benefit the recipients. They’re so close to the trees, they can no …

Ryk Bullock for Moderator
To the Editor: In these times, there tends to be a desire for change just for the sake of change. I agree that change is good and new ideas even better. However, you only need to change the person when they are not changing and adapting to new approaches and …

Taxpayers don’t need to spend nearly $8m now
Taxpayers don’t need to spend nearly $8m now To the Editor: Do we need to spend $7,849,849 right now?

Time to get creative for school funding

Had enough with tax increases
To the Editor: We are thoroughly disgusted with the non-stop tax increases impacting the Bedford residents.
