Free State Project participants Aaron Day and Matt Philips stirred up controversy in their recent run for school board and town council. The election results (here and here) show that despite the opposition spending thousands to send full-color hitpiece propaganda to every household in Bedford, the liberty-oriented candidates received about 25% of the votes. Aaron Day received over 23% and Matt Philips over 27%. Philips also did not come in last in his race. This is a stellar result for first-time candidates!
Unfortunately I did not win the school board race in Bedford (Matt also lost his Town Council race). Congratulations to Bill Foote and Bill Kassler on their victories.
I am grateful for the 1129 people who did vote for me (more…)
Robin Hooders visited Laconia, NH’s downtown yesterday. Not a single parking meter in sight, but yet there are plenty of businesses in their bustling downtown.
How can this be? If the city of Keene’s claims are to be believed, parking meters are necessary to help businesses – what a crock!
The city people are lying. Either that or they are seriously misinformed about parking meters. Plenty of towns and cities are doing just fine without them.
You may have noticed that Free Keene has had a much-needed theme change. This new theme is “responsive”, unlike our old one, and should work better on mobile devices, plus it has a fancy menu that stays at the top of the screen as you scroll down. There’s still some tweaking that needs to be done, so bear with us. Please report any issues via the Shire Society forums.
