tomorrow we vote!

HELLO NEWMARKET PEOPLE!!

Tomorrow March 11th is the day that will decide the next course of action for our town.
That is the day where every single vote counts!
Make the time to get out there and vote.
Tell your friends and neighbors.
Offer rides to those who do not drive.

Yes this vote is monumental in nature.

Recap of items. I'll start with the timeline on the Junior/ Senior High School from its beginnings in 1925 to today 2014. That is 89 years of teaching of our town's children. School buildings are built to last about fifty years due to the changes in technology and teaching styles. Ours has been band aided together for over twenty years. It is now time to pull that band aid off and put our tax money into a building everyone in town can be proud of for the next fifty years (or more).


My favorite flier of this whole ordeal. Straight up answers most of the commonly heard myths concerning a new school being built in Newmarket. 


The latest letter from those 'concerned citizens' is now throwing out the option of another architectural firm to design us a building since Harriman (our current architectural firm) was let go from the Portsmouth school district. Let's look at that. Starting with the cost of another firm- would the No vote spend the money for another firm to do the work? Guessing not, they don't like to spend money. Yes Harriman was released from Portsmouth since that school district thought that a renovation would cost less than building a new school. Guess what?? That project is currently $3.3 million OVER BUDGET and the costs are still adding up with the 'cheaper' renovation option that Portsmouth went with. Maybe Harriman was right after all. 

We are at the end of the options Newmarket. This project will only get more expensive for every year we wait. Then who will be here to pay the tab??

Wondering who to vote for? The below list will help you. Newmarket Solutions has endorsed the candidates listed below.


Please write in Kathy Harter for the two year budget committee position.
There has been much 'slander' on the internet concerning her qualifications and that she is another rubber stamper only interested in spending money. There was also a discussion that write ins should not be allowed; that the only way into a position should be by being on the ballot. Trying to discuss with the vote No group that this is AMERICA and the right to do a write in candidate is for every citizen ended with petty replies and condescension. You can bring a Mule to water but you cannot make it drink. Or see the truth. Or have an intellectual conversation.

Write her in. She is more than qualified to help keep Newmarket financial responsible.


Another look at the beautiful rendering of the school. I cannot wait to drop my kiddos off at that building. Amazing amount of pride will be flowing out of that building into the town of Newmarket.


VOTE YES!!!

myths versus facts

Newmarket Solutions did an AMAZING job with the second mailer they sent out. Check it out. It seriously rocks! 


LOVE LOVE LOVE this side!!


Favorite part of this mailer---

   "Myth #5: "The $45.1 million estimate does not include everything- and will inevitable cost more."
FACT: The bond is for exactly $45,125,263 and it is an inclusive estimate * from a third party consultant. Among many things, it includes the construction of the new building, demolition and hazardous waste removal, bidding documentation, permits, insurance, furnishings and a recommended 5% contingency for cost overruns. * Provided by independent estimator Jobin Construction Consultants, the cost includes $31.9 million (the new building); $6 million (demolition of the old building and hazardous waste removal); $7 million (bidding documentation, permits, insurance, furnishings, and a 5 percent contingency for cost overruns)."

Love the breakdown on the use of the bonded monies. There is the No vote peoples $30 million school!! We did what they kept asking us to do. The rest of the monies are for the expected costs associated with a building project. I want to sky write this, run up and down Main Street with a clapboard sign on me with this, and post it to every single vote no sign in town!!
