I see time and time again where people are running for offices lacking skills to really tackle these problems. Once elected, they seem to be part of the go along to get along crowd. And then there are various committees with openings that are hard to fill with strong people. If you are not willing to devote some time to help, then stop complaining. JMHO!


Many have tried, including myself. But, after the “interview process” those chosen are those known to others. Local elected officials have their own agenda. Which is to protect their interests and interests of their friends. Make waves and you risk losing access to things your family may need.
NH is still a small state in many ways. Local government is just one way.
Fixing it requires someone willing to risk everything. Good luck finding that someone.
