Read a letter wrote to the LDS in yesterday’s paper that identified Andrew Hosmer as a supporter of Laconia becoming a sanctuary city! Enough said

Peter Spanos for Mayor!
 

Peter Spanos encapsulated what I have been trying to say recently in the following statement about Laconia --

“Laconians have very grave concerns about what goes on here in the city, particularly after dark,” Spanos said. “The fact that there is drug dealing, the fact that there is criminal activity, the fact that people feel like maybe they shouldn’t be outspoken in addressing these issues, I think that points us in the wrong direction. I think that creates the possibility where we accept that as a new norm, something that is wrong here in 2019 when it doesn’t have to be."

I too am concerned about the "new norm." As a community, we've not only tolerated this behavior but encouraged it by attracting drug addicts (and presumably drug sellers) to our city.

And the Blinders are starting to come of.

Looks like Hosmer won.

Mayor of Laconia

Andrew Hosmer - 1767 votes ....... 54%

Peter Spanos - 1478 votes ............46%

... from the LaDaSun
..................................

What's the latest on making Laconia a NH sports betting-lottery town?

Where do I go to place a ten dollar bet in Laconia for Serena Williams to win the Australian Tennis Open final in January?

Laconia voted YES to NH Lottery - sports betting

YES-1561 ................. 51%

NO-1480 ................... 49%

...... from WMUR

So, will Laconia be getting one of up to the ten state wide NH state 'sports betting' locations, aka a betting parlor or betting joint, and where will it be in Laconia?

And, isn't this just another way for people to lose their money, like the daily number, and the scratch ticket?

By not playing the NH lottery, you come out a winner ....... is how I look at it!

Much larger turnout then expected. Does anyone know if the count includes early voting numbers?

The word on the street was a very busy Absentee Vote. Hmm!! Could it be? No, The newly elected mayor would never do anything Illegal.

...... shame-shame-shame!
 

Late last month, on Halloween day, tour buses from New Jersey transported NJ-tourists to supposedly take in the Mount Washington cruise, while in reality these buses surreptitiously took 90 and 100 year old gray-hairs to cast highly illegal absentee ballots in the upcoming election for Mayor of Laconia ...... shame-shame-shame .......:patriot::banana::banana::patriot: ..... was a very Halloween spookie day .... boo-hoo-hoo :laugh:

The real big question that is now before us, front and center: where-o-where in Laconia will the State Lottery be opening a sports betting parlor? Will it get installed within a quiet aisle in the Laconia state liquor store, say in the aisle with the wines imported from far away California, or where???

That would be almost as bad as baseless gossip in an online forum!

Ballot Not Presented in Time...
 

"Count every ballot!"

:rolleye1:

Voted for the loser did you?

Did you forget to take your medications again? Laconia does not have a State Liquor Store.

I was unaware, and just assumed Laconia has a state liquor store, because Belmont, Gilford, and Meredith all have state liquor stores, plus the very big one at Exit 23 in New Hampton. NH has 77 conveniently located state liquor stores, all across the state, making state liquor the biggest interface between the state and the people, in this small state.

Walmart has 30 big stores across NH, and Walmart does not sell any NH lottery ticket items .... hurray for Walmart-NH.

You know where the former Good Will store location was in Laconia, down town? Isn't that now a very large, vacant commercial space? Maybe that could be a good spot for a large Laconia sports betting venue ...... and at a very low rent?

From a hardware store to Good Will to NH sports betting ....... helloooo Laconia!

Wonder if the five city councilors, the city manager, and the city mayor in Laconia have any input to the state lottery about a sports betting store in Laconia ..... probably not ..... because it got voted yes?

............
..............
............

The Town of Plymouth has a totally perfect vacant commercial space, on Main St between the bank and the hardware, in what used to be a large college oriented book store, plus someone recently re-did the floor, walls, and lighting with high quality results ...... and, it is once again, vacant.

Will the Town of Plymouth be voting yes or no to NH sports betting in March, 2020?

The citizens of Laconia lost. With Spanos and Baer losing, there is no governor to question the spare-no-expense councilors, and Spanos was the only candidate to question Laconia's unusual investment in low income housing.

It will be interesting as we move forward. Sad to say our election went the way most of the other state wide local elections

Election for Mayor of Laconia
 

The GOP in NH, by all recent elections, appear to be a afterthought. We are no longer Red State, Purple at best, but now blue. Limited direction from the state GOP leaders and in fighting of which candidate to support led to this. New leadership is needed, where it comes from is unknown

...... 918 Weirs Blvd-on Paugus Bay
 

Here's a 4-minute recorded interview with Mayor elect Andrew Hosmer from Nov 6:

https://www.nhpr.org/post/laconia-ma...using#stream/0

Where Laconia really wants to focus is turning that 918 Weirs Blvd parcel of city land, on Paugus Bay, into a hand carry boat launch for kayaks, canoes, and stand up paddle boards.

If you all want Mayor Hosmer to make 918 Weirs Blvd into a kayak launch ….. then raise your paddle up high, and wave it all around ……. so everyone can see it!

Thank-you very much!
...........

...... dang-it, cannot get this 4:26 question and answer, NHPR and Mayor elect Andrew Hosmer link, to work, so's maybe someone with better skills can make it happen ..... a Nov 6, day after the election, interview, with Laconia's newly elected mayor ..... thanks in advance!

.......or, google 'NHPR: Andrew Hosmer' and you will probably have a November 6, 4-minute, 26-second conversation from NHPR-All Things Considered with Mayor elect Andrew Hosmer.
