Prudy Morin Veysey: Free State Libertarians have done enough damage to Gilmanton, Gilford, Laconia

To The Daily Sun,

With all Belknap County chaos caused by Norm Silber and Mike Sylvia, we’ve forgotten Glen Aldrich, who is running for re-election for Gilmanton, Gilford and Laconia Ward 2. Among Mr. Aldrich’s “accomplishments” are:

He was one of four Belknap County representatives who supported seceding from the United States, along with Mike Sylvia of Belmont and Paul Terry of Alton. Fortunately, the New Hampshire House killed CACR 32, a NH constitutional amendment. It’s insulting and infuriating to all patriotic Americans that Mr. Aldrich puts an American flag on his yard signs.

Did you know that on Jan. 7, 2021, Mr. Aldrich tried to stop the NH House from condemning the violence at the U.S. Capitol the day before? He was joined by 35 other representatives including Gregg Hough, Barbara Comtois, Mike Sylvia, Norm Silber, and Tom Ploszaj – all of whom are running for re-election in Belknap County. Thankfully the resolution still passed, but it shows just how extreme and out of step Mr. Aldrich and these reps are from their constituency.

Instead of supporting Gunstock, as you’d expect of a representative when one of the major economic engines of the county is in your town, Mr. Aldrich was complicit in its near-death. Despite Gunstock making money for the county, he supported the disruptive Gunstock Area Commission members. He supported Sylvia and Silber’s meddling and tax-wasting legal bills. And when it came time to vote to do the right thing and restore the management, protect jobs, and prevent damage to the local economy, he was nowhere to be found.

Free State Libertarians like Mr. Aldrich, founder of the Lakes Region Porcupines, have done enough damage to Gilmanton, Gilford and Laconia Ward 2. On Sept. 13, it’s time to throw them out and support sensible candidates who truly represent the voters.
