Default Laconia Sun

The Laconia Daily Sun was founded 2000, with Ed Engler (the current Mayor) as publisher and John Hourihan as editor.

Engler assumed the position of editor in 2002 and held it until 2015 when he retired.

Lakes Region News Club, which owns The Laconia Daily Sun, is a partnership between President Edward J. Engler, Publisher Adam Hirshan and Mark Guerringue, publisher of The Conway Daily Sun.

Engler was elected mayor of Laconia in 2013 and again in 2015 and 2017. He has had health issues over the past year and has stated that he will not run again.

That explains the bias against Erica. She must be a republican and Engler is left of Nancy Pelosi

He's a "republican" but acts like a democrat, which is the worst kind of politician! He's driving Laconia off the cliff.

Well, it's good to know that the mayor owns the paper...

But that does not necessarily explain or prove bias, nor does left vs right politics. I hope we'd all agree that there are plenty of trustworthy people on both sides of the aisle.

The town has asserted that she "failed to keep her word" and the paper noted (perhaps with a bit of gratuitous bias) that she was found guilty of negligent homicide. Neither is a great reference, and neither has been contradicted in the paper or on this forum.

I’m sorry and I am Not defending either prior situation but she is asking for a demolition permit for a renovation an improvement project on a currently vacant building which she already purchased and paid for from the city. Pretty easy to keep an eye on like you would anyone else applying for the same type of permit. City is blowing this out of proportion and just going to cost the taxpayers in the end.

The last I heard was something about the town wanting to make fire station a historical landmark. I don't know how old the fire station is, but it's definitely not a historical landmark.
