Jaffrey-Rindge voters – as you celebrate destroying the local school budget, be mindful of the many hours and hard work school board members and their friends and families provided, wanting only the best for future students and citizens. What are you celebrating? There are no winners here.

I have watched at least three generations of hope and possibilities smashed against the rocks of the ballot box. Meanwhile, as our governor promises to prevent us from "becoming Massachusetts" let us not take pride in becoming the "Mississippi of the New England states."
