THE GRANITE EAGLE

Chris Thomson’s Op-Ed "YDC Lawsuits: The most disturbing case of fraud ever seen in NH” was a welcome fresh take on the YDC cases. I noticed David Vicinanzo’s comment under it. He is one of the lead attorneys suing the State. He doth protest too much. He was a federal prosecutor in Concord in the 1990s when the majority of the abuse at YDC allegedly took place.

Surging child care prices have grabbed the media’s attention here in New Hampshire, and rightly so. The price of full-time care in a licensed center “jumped 48 percent between 2013 and 2023,” landing at nearly $32,000 a year, according to an analysis last year by the Carsey School of Public Policy at UNH.  

Over the last few weeks, the response I have received from my YDC opinion column has been overwhelming. I heard from countless former YDC staff members who worked with those being accused. I heard from family members of the former staff members being accused. I heard from friends of those being accused. I even had neighbors of those being accused reach out to me.

New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Account program hit its enrollment cap of 10,000 students for the upcoming school year, the Children’s Scholarship Fund-NH confirmed this week. As talk of the program growing beyond expectations spread through social media, readers of this website shouldn’t have been surprised by the numbers.

Countless years after being released, thousands of people across America are claiming they were sexually and physically abused while they were housed at juvenile detention facilities.

If someone is in ICE custody, they are in the United States illegally. If you enter the United States illegally, you have committed a crime (8 U.S. Code § 1325) and therefore have earned the honorable title of being a criminal.

As President Trump fulfills his campaign promise of conducting the largest deportation effort in American history, the cries from critics have been loud and consistent.

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend an event that had a major impact on my patriotism and reinforced my strong belief about how fortunate we are to live in the United States of America. I was also reminded of the sacrifices so many great Americans in the armed forces make to allow people like you and I to live the lives we live.

Though expanding Education Freedom Accounts to all New Hampshire students is a top Republican Party priority for this legislative...

Over the last few months, we have been exposed to a broad range of stores about how much the world relies on China.

Ever since Donald Trump began his second term as President of the United States, there has been a constant barrage of activity. The pace at which the Trump administration works is something that leaves most people in awe. I’m not quite sure how he gets the energy he has, but I am thankful we have a president working so hard for us every day.

When you open your electric bill, you expect to pay for the power you use and the wires that deliver it. What you probably don’t expect is to help cover someone else’s energy losses—especially when those losses come from an investor owned utility.

A few months ago, I was having dinner with a fourteen-year-old member of my family. We were talking about the news and what is going on in the world and we struck up a conversation about current events. The discussion shifted to the New Year's Day terrorist attack in New Orleans where a deranged ISIS influenced lunatic drove his truck into a crowd of people.

If you’re anything like most Americans, you’ve likely been shocked watching the ludicrous and un-American behaviors of extreme left wing Democrats that are being reported across the country.

It’s not often that we have an opportunity to pause and take the time to reflect on what is happening in our country.

The New Hampshire House Republicans recently passed HB148 which allows the classification of individuals based on biological sex in three specific areas under New Hampshire law.

A decade’s worth of state revenue growth, primarily from rising business tax collections, has fueled significant state spending increases since 2015, with a particularly large jump coming in the 2024-25 budget.
