All is the same here there and most everywhere.
Few if any attend county meetings.
I have seen the ballot too many times where folks run unopposed.
Folks that work and have families don't have the time to attend or run for office. Retired many are too tired to go to meetings.
View what they did in Carroll County Home.
The original building was constructed in 1968.
Complaint was roof leaked.
New metal roof installed.
Then they had prisoners shoveling the new metal roof as all were concerned with snow load. Imagine - metal roof - and men on it shoveling roof. A new roof.
You have to wonder who makes these decisions. How could they put on a new roof that was not able to handle NH snow? And the roof leaked from day one.
So what do they do? They decide to build a new building. Not fix the 1968 building.
And what is built? Not the $17 million dollar plan - but the $23 million dollar Holiday Inn.
And look at the court house. Metal detectors were an afterthought.
All of us continue to elect these people who think money is free.
Whether you like it or not. An income tax will come. There will be fits and screams. But at some point the property taxpayer will trump all and the complaints by real estate tax folks will be paramount. There will be a straw that breaks the camels back.
