Manchester Mayor Jay Ruais, a Republican, campaigned around the city promising to cut taxes, calling himself the only candidate that wouldn't raise them. Despite that, he proposed a tax hike that was even bigger than the one given to the city by former Democrat Mayor Joyce Craig and the overwhelmingly Democrat Board of Aldermen.
Rich not only details Ruais' tax cut promises, using his own campaign literature, he exposes how Ruais sabotaged the efforts of Republican aldermen to bring forward a budget that actually DID cut taxes and shares the tactical gaffe that kept that budget from even being presented.
Along the way, Rich lays bare the lies pushed by the "more money crowd" that demanded higher funding for schools, despite collapsing enrollment numbers and massive spending increases.

In this video, host Rich Girard takes on Manchester, NH school board members who attacked parents and citizens for raising questions about the district's Transgender and Gender Nonconforming policy; a policy that instructs school staff to withhold and lie about such behavior to parents, among other things. The accusation of "bigotry" among "christians" launched by Ward 7 member Christoper Potter gets special attention.
Rich also exposes the massive tax break wrongly given to a private developer in a major downtown project.
There are other fund tidbits, like bringing to light all of the school spending that isn't being shared with taxpayers as the school administration agains seeks to break through the city's tax cap.

Rich shared that NH electric ratepayers are shelling out $13 million every year to NOT produce power at a key local energy facility. Get the details.
