We want to thank each and every Senator who took a stand to give hard-working families the power to choose schools that are right for their childen.

As Senator Bradley asked those in opposition, “Why are NH parents flocking to this opportunity? They are hard-working NH parents who want the best for their kids.”

Please take the time to write a letter to the editor of your local paper and/or email the senators to thank them for their support.

Those who voted to table were Senators Forrester, Bradley, Sanborn, Morse, Cataldo, Odell, Bragdon, Carson, Boutin, Reagan, Rausch, Prescott, and Stiles.

Teens Robbed of I-pod/Cell Phone

 

MANCHESTER, NH- On Monday, February 11, 2013, at about 6:30 PM, Manchester Police responded to a Clay Street address for a report of a robbery.  On arrival, they met with two 16 year old Manchester teens who reported they had been the victims of a robbery a short time earlier on Somerville Street, near Belmont Street.

 

According to the boys, they were walking in the area when they were approached by two men, one of whom demanded their belongings, indicating his companion had a gun, although no gun was observed.

 

One of the boys surrendered his I-pod Nano and Galaxy S3 cell phone and the men left.  They were last seen leaving the area as passengers in an older, dark colored 4-door sedan operated by a third individual who was possibly wearing a red sweatshirt.

 

The first suspect was described as a white male in his forties, about 6’3” tall with a slender build and dark “stubble” on his face.  He was last seen wearing a dark colored vest and a green “beanie” style hat.  The second man, alleged to have possessed a gun, was described as a clean-shaven white male in his forties with an average height and build.  He was last seen wearing a camouflage shirt and khaki pants.
