(Hour 3c) Gatsas will apparently have plenty of competition for his job in the next election.  Will it affect City Business until election season 2015?

Gatsas discussed the direction of Manchester, the City’s Bond Rating downgrade, the 3.7% tax increase and overriding the Tax Cap  with our appreciative host.

Also, the positive impact of Jr. STEAM Ahead and STEAM Ahead NH on students and KUDOS to Dean Kamen and former MHT Mayor Bob Baines for working very hard to help make it happen!
