Brad Jardis dared speak out about ending prohibition and was targeted by the good-old-boys in the Epping police department for termination. Tonight at the termination hearing he was kept on as a police officer, pending a “psychological evaluation”. Will they determine that believing in liberty is crazy and fire him later? Time will tell. For now, Jardis is still a NH law enforcement officer. Plus, he’s a regular participant of the Free Keene Forum. Here’s his thread about this situation.
Dave Ridley interviews Brad moments after the well-attended hearing in Epping tonight:
Liberty activists called “Talkback” on WKBK last week to discuss the war, health care, taxes, incentives, big government, the jail, freedom to travel, apathy, and voluntary funding. If you listen carefully during the first call from Nick of Free Minds TV, you can hear Cynthia whisper, “Free Stater”. Little does she know that Nick is a New Hampshire native. Oops!
Please join us for our weekly chat and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 11a-12p in the Free Keene Chat room. If you’re online, you can listen to Talkback streamed live via the Liberty Radio Network and if you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM. The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.
Anyone who spends much time paying attention to the city’s politicians and bureaucrats will hear all kinds of talk about being “green”. Personally, I find it all very silly, but it will serve to point out their hypocrisy. Wallace Nolen used a freedom of information request to attain information on all of the city employees. He specified that he wanted it in electronic format, but the city refused, insisting on giving him pages and pages of documentation. Wallace sued and the judge (of course) found in favor of the city. So, rather than just emailing Wallace the info, they instead will unnecessarily spend money on paper and ink and print out a bunch of papers. Perhaps their motto is, “The City of Keene: We’re ‘green’, but only when it benefits us.”
A Cheshire County Superior Court judge has dismissed a Vermont man’s right-to-know lawsuit against the city of Keene.
Judge John P. Arnold ruled earlier this week that the city responded appropriately to Wallace S. Nolen’s public records request. Nolen, of Barre, Vt., asked for the names, titles, salaries, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and work locations of every city employee. (more…)
Just yesterday a new activist website for the Upper Valley region of NH, UpperValleyLiberty.com, made a splash by announcing that next year’s 4:20 events up there will include open containers of alcohol! Of course, that has already happened here in Keene at some of the 4:20 celebrations, but it was never announced publicly. It appears that UVL’s blogger Kevin has upped the ante and has announce that he intends to enjoy an alcoholic beverage in public during next year’s events.
Will Keene’s 4:20 events also expand to include alcohol in 2010? As long as people are drinking responsibly, I think it’d be a fine addition, but it’s not up to me…
