We live in a corrupt little town full of bullies. We need new blood.
You live in a town of whackos zealots and xenaphobes.....this town has been on the front page for years with these nuts and it looks like new blood has come in to keep the mass hysteria going with the Greens and artus we look like an mentally unstable town, I wish the trouble makers would just go away , just when we got rid of Mark accaird and all of his antics here come a few more nuts.
There is a good example
With spending out of control and transparency at an all time low for both the school board and our BOS you can live in the "good old boys" bubble if you want but be warned your tax es are going to go up big time if unchecked. You sit behind your computer and throw insults at the only people that do the best they can to help our situation. We are NOT the laughing stock of the state because of these people but the ones you elected over the years.
The elderly budget went up 30% ( at one time and should go back it was done with contributions) this year and with that they want to add on in the warrant another 20thousand for a wheelchair van. This is out of control as we in this town age we will be paying so much in higher taxes and going into fixed incomes we will have to move.
Danville wants to change the formula in which our school taxes are paid and it will be a HUGH increase in your taxes and you condemn the same people that are working to keep this from happening??? The question is WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
The above at 5:07AM says it all as I see it. The critic[s] that are against the persons that want honest open governing in town are the ones responsible for the towns problems . They will continue to rape the town in every way they can for their own selfish greedy reasons until they bankrupt the town. It is time-- NOW!! --
to get them out of the towns political scene.
Artus showed good leadership at Atkinson Deliberative session yesterday. He got the truth out,,,on camera,,to the people about the gross waste of money we are expecte to suffer paying. He spoke the truth at the microphone and warned us all also of the crippling new taxes that elitist scumbag from Timberland school is soon putting in your mailbox for your enjoyment. SURPRISE,,,Surprise!! And the selectmen knew all about it and how to stop it and sat on their hands and did nothing to EVEN TRY to protect you from it. And Atkinson school representatives did nothing because heck, they already get paid money thru the back door or plan to gain power from association with Timberlane' s elitist tax and spender. It's a major conflict of interest.
Anyway, Artus got the truth out and that WILL hurt when taxpayers see the ballot and their eyes pot out over the millions that these political hacks and town employees put in wanting you to greasing their way with salary increases to a soon rich retirement. Yee Haaaa! GIVE IT ALL TO THEM. Cause they don't give a good dump about our fixed incomes and our tired broken backs carrying their burdens. "Gimme gimmi gimme is the roaring refrain. More, more, more the loudly hymned chorus."
Not even the Congregational Minister would stand the stink of the corruption and so abdicated his attendance and prayer for this flock of self serving embedded self serving thieves. Maybe it was his reputation he sought to protect. Or maybe it was finally hearing of the creaking old masterbator chair down at the police station ...that finally got him to listen to God's truth and refuse a town prayer. Alas, the substitute monstrosity promulgated by the town moderation was not a prayer rather a hack abomination before the face of God. Made up self justified political crap that a Divinity school student would get expelled for writing. It was not prayer! It was more his personal "wish list" of how he wanted Deliberative Session to act while under his restrictive control. The only thing missing from that prayer was God's newest Commandment that the Atkinson town moderation has the right to censor free speech! and it was God, after all who guided the hands of all the political hacks and town harpies who voted for this illegal oppression and subjugation of truth.
Given Artus did speak, on camera, directly to the taxpayers the word is getting around town right now and the voters will most likely be checking off all the excessive spending warrant articles. That's a good thing.
Artus got the truth out and the taxpayers do sense it.
There is a saying: "IF YOU ALWAYS SPEAK THE TRUTH, EVENTUALLY YOUR WORD BECOMES THE LAW OF THE UNIVERSE."
YES! He did just what he wanted. Say what you want this was a brilliant move on his part. Knowing that most he brought forward would be knocked down by the few that attend these meetings to get what they want out of our pockets. Still getting the message out! The best part was the last warrant and in doing what he did had one school board member looking like a fool defending his ridiculous actions. The points all being shown on camera and because of the law the warrant article had to go to ballot no matter how many were there to knock it down. Great move and was worth the wait to see this happen...Now we will go to on the 5th to make them squirm. Soft spoken Leon is a great warrior.
we had great officers who stood easey at back of delib meetin yesday. cops sitting both sides of this room. Great. Cops runnin the selectmen up front. Fabulous!!! Yup My friend baldie and this other cop the stupid guy / he did a great job too Yeah I get me lots of cop backup an women in town knows ithey better lay down and service the sausage.

(Copywriter lyrics so keep your god damn hands off)
Artus is running for Selectman too but the Town did not announce it in the news release or at delib. Scaredy cats are they? It's typical of them, we've seen it before. Another game they play is to "invent" public officials for the town report to dismiss those they do not support.
Feb.2@ 8:25, There isn't any normal person that would even want to infringe on your wacky thoughts of copy writing lyrics. Clean hands,in many ways, help to avoid the things that cause your type of mental and physical sickness. Your not funny ,your a sick nut. Go away and get the help you need.
Tonight at 7:00pm is Timberlane School Deliberative Session at the gymnasium. Show up and defeat the unwarranted budget increases or pay another $750 in school taxes for your $300,000 home. But it's ok. You can afford it! And the Atkinson School Reps want you voted in WANT you to stay home and not vote against. Why is that? Hmmmm. They say you can afford the $750. No big deal. And the new even higher rise the following year. No problem. YOU GOT THE CASH IN THE MATTRESS.
Then there's the millions more Atkinson town political hacks and police selectmen want and are coming to "assess" you. Now your tax bill went up $1,400 to $1,500 just for next year.
Know what the word is around Town Hall? "We will get all their money cause people don't pay attention. And people now got the money to spare cause of the low gas prices. What a great town hall and Selectmen we are. Can't wait till the new big Town Hall expansion comes too. We EARNED it."
The Numbers in the above comment are not true and just another in a long list of lies and smears by the nuts and whackos like Donna Green and Artus they have gone out of there way to confuse people just watch any of the sessions on TV and you will quickly realize what a complete moron donna green is and artus, they constantly get corrected on facts,
I ran the numbers and they are correct! The school district is OUT OF CONTROL.....Time to reel them in and get off the crap about "it's for the children". These modest spending suggestions will not effect the kids at all just the greedy administrators that give themselves raises and spouses useless jobs that we got to pay for.
Protect our investment into our children I have lived in this area for 30 years, and I have seen these types (Donna Green/ Artus) come and go funny the thing they all common they have no kids in the school system, beware of people who mask a bad intention with a good one, they call these people liars they hide behind numbers and lies , with donna green this has become a personal battle between her and Mr. Metzler she is so clouded by her own anger she can't come to terms on the right thing to do.
I Can't wait until tonight to see how many times she makes a fool of herself tonight, how many times she gets corrected on her lies and how many times Artus will babble about things that have nothing to do with the current topic of discussion.....
Bottom line "It's for the children"......unless you are an old bitter nut-job.
Wow! Anybody watching the Timberlane Show. what a mess. The vote to limit discussion passed --- looks like the Green Team is outnumbered ..
Most if not all of the board.and budget committee members have or had children in this school system, now honestly, where do you think their allegiances will be..
Suck it up fellow taxpayers, it's not going down in our favor. But if it wasn't for people like the Green's, there would be little number scrutiny. While I don't always agree with you, I certainly respect your efforts.
and Lt. Xerxes keeps a close eye on Leonitas, LOL
Well now that the Greens bad case of "Fiscal Flatulence" has now passed we can all breath fresh air, these clowns as well as a few others do nothing good but cause fighting within the towns, I would say the Greens fantasy of huge droves of fellow Xenophopes like them turned into nothing but complete "Fiscal Flatulence" the Greens were out numbered 5-1 in votes, and if the best you got is Kooky Cookie and Leon mouthwash Artus then your slash tax army is nothing but Flatulence in the wind.
I'm sorry I'm not sorry you fell for the trap!! That's why its called a " boobie trap" YOUR the boobie!!
Excuse my French but I just got back from FRANCE. If you escaped what I escaped you would be in Paris getting f'ed up too... Thanks for the trip hunny... You will be paying me later!! Hahahahahaha
Lets see how much "flatulence" there will be when the election results are in. You may be surprised at the turn out of voters that back the Greens and friends way of thinking. People are afraid to show themselves at meetings because of the many acts of retaliation and past damages to properties.
Slimey move by Bealo to slap a quarter mill to the budget
this board is the lamest I've ever seen in this district...
Bobbleheads inside the box- zero creativity..
But thanks for trying, Mr. Cantone. But ya got steamrolled.
Donna , while I don't always agree with you I'd trade our Earlsgirl Mrs.D for you anyday..Never heard anybody speak so much and say so little .. Please move to Atkinson...Thank you for stirring the soup and at least keeping them on there turftoes....
Thank you Donna.
Re. Bealo upping budget cost... If you were to put sprinklers in your home or business what would it cost you? After figuring out the final cost then multiply it by the size comparing of your building and the rooms the sprinklers were to be placed keeping in mind that the need for the kids ,teachers, and the school building are different from your home or business needs. -- At least the sprinkler budget cost that passed is as far from the future overall new costs of the self serving money grubbers and other related "patronage" and doing things not necessary to run this school system with the declining enrollments. Keep in mind a sprinkler system lasts longer than people with little maintenance compared to people that die off or retire with big pensions. JMHO
New sprinklers for a building they plan to replace, why?
To the above:
Wrong Building, Nit-wit, get them facts together
Gonna be a fun ballot to try to figure out .
Let's see, if I vote for this then that closes but this gets built if that passes unless the others pass but if both pass that has to close unless we study it then if that doesn't pass then the other is null and void unless the board say to build or close unless they all fail and we in Atkinson and Plaistow suck it up and pay more than our fair share?
did I get this right?
Peace
Stevie Van Clapton
If we all stay home nothing passes.
IF we all stay home nothing passes? WRONG!!!! EVERYTHING PASSES! Where did you go to school, TIMBERLANE?
If no one votes, nothing passes. I did not go to TRHS or any other NH school. A zero vote is a zero vote.
If only one vote to pass every spending article in each town is cast, everything passes. If you think no one will show up to vote, it proves you went to Timberlane or some equally poor educational institution. With a dumb statement like you stated, shows most likely never graduated from any school.
If there is a closing of a school and if one or two towns leave the regional school district what happens to the schools that will remain. Does the town[s] that left the district have any claim of ownership of the school[s] that remain? Does[Plaistow] the host town take ownership of them? If there be any claim of monetary value owed the town[s]leaving the school district it could/would bankrupt the towns remaining in the district. My biggest wish is that all the involved towns voters of the district will turn out in droves to vote and remove the heads of administration and the non nessary costs they are asking for us to allow. You can bet I'm going to vote that way at election time.
The above comment can only dream, you live in a dream world, first you have to have somewhere to go good luck no one and I mean no one would want a town full of rabel rousers, and good luck with the staten on that issue and if you think you will find a better deal I say take a hike now,, do you really UNDERSTAND that after all the Hoopla you only had 100 voters vote in your favor?...if that's not a message to Donna Green queen of mean then I don't know what is........100 votes LOL!....100 votes LOL!!!!!
Above!! , My statements were mostly questions of what would or will happen. The truth is that the voters are fed up with this current SAU board and their way out actions of power and greed. I could be wrong about the voter turn out as you say but then I could be right. We'll see wont we? I noticed you had nothing to say about the questions I posed about the towns involved leaving the school district. You must be one of them to have avoided what was written by me earlier.
Above:
What on god's green earth are youy talking about "Power and Greed" you make this sound like big league DC politics, we are just small towns trying to do the next right thing MOST of us see nothing wrong yet with the SAU, and until the rest of us do you will get votes like 517-100, you are just another product of Hysteria, fear mongers and Conspiracy theorist.....
Hey lets not forget who most wanted as President. Just because there were more supporters for the "it's for children cra*)" doesn't mean they made the best choice for all taxpayers and even the kids..Lets see what the studies come up with leaving the district for better schooling and possibly much cheaper.
Above:
What the heck does that have to do with Timberlane, geez let me guess your one of those Rightwing nut-jobs...I bet Alex Jones is your mentor.
I think if you really give thought to the questions that were directed to the closing of school[s] and leaving the school district[2/8 @750&2/9 @613] were thought about the voters would turn out . When it comes to money that no one wants to just throw away then this is a case for good thoughtful decisions by voters. Has anyone given thought as to the cost of leaving the regional district and their taxes? Then too what about the existing schools in Plaistow? Do you get any money from the district or even the town for the buildings as a settlement?
So lets see! will use this tough guy talk like we will leave the district, but where are you going to go?....who will take you on with all the antics?...what district?...you think you can just hop around for the best deal on your taxes?...LOL! your nuts!...even if you find another district to take you in "who says the school tax formulas is the same"...and you can bet your bottom dollar ALL your properties will be NEWLY re-assessed, your problem is you have approx. 7-10% living below the poverty level in that town who struggle to pay taxes what you need to do is get those people in line with town tax breaks, why is that the rest of the district problem ...what are we in all the surrounding towns the reginal welfare dept. for a bunch of deadbeats?
That's why there's a study - to answer the questions and concerns and to discover options. No one is suggesting we hop around, but shop around for answers. If you are concerned about tose who cannot afford to keep throwing money at this school, this is a way to find out.
TRHS has been a failure for most of the 30+ years I have lived here and this year is no different.
This over spending by the school district is hurting our good teachers far more than it helps them and their families. While teachers in the short run believe they are providing the best education that money can buy, (along with the raises they receive) in the long run will destroy their families.
The reason teachers are paying more for their health and retirement benefits is because LGC (now Health Trust with the same people running it ) illegally siphoned off $21,000,000.00 (million) of their public employee benefit money and placed it in a non performing sub division. When the Supreme Court ordered that money be returned, LGC dissolved and “Poof” their money disappeared. Where was the school administration while this was going on? The administration stayed silent. Where were the teachers? Most likely they didn’t know what happened to them and stayed silent.
Our teachers (if truly part of our community) should be looking at their future and the “Unfunded Mandate” that is suppose to protect their retirement and health benefits. They should be asking the administration to do more to fund the mandate at 100% instead of the current 50%. Instead, they stay silent and pay increased premiums in an effort to build the fund back up. ( So much for their raises).
Why aren’t the teachers speaking up about their mistreatment by the administration? That’s where their attention should be directed, instead of expecting the taxpayers to make up the missing money. Is it because they see what will happen to them, if they speak? Are they afraid of losing their jobs, if they speak? Have they observed how the administration will defame them, just like the administration does to the taxpayer that speaks!
Teachers are smart people. They have husbands, wives and children. They have to work hard like the rest of us and they pay the same taxes as the rest of us. Why then, don’t they realize they will be impacted by the same economic conditions that affect all of us. If they don’t join us to get our spending under control, history will repeat itself and they will suffer just like Detroit. Bankrupt! This is what the teachers will garner for not speaking up. No pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, no protection in their retirement. Is this really what teachers want to happen to them?
Got it. Let's vote to study the problem. Teachers and students first.
I agree with the last two posts fully ,however, the real start to a "cure the problem" is at the upcoming ballot box. As for any study being made I can see it but where do these studies start and stop? Every study costs time and money when most all of us tax payers already know what we want to happen.
And what is that? Studies are for this exact purpose, to look at a problem and determine out the options. I want to know what the actual choices are and review any ideas that yet to be heard.
Lets start with a psychological study of some of the people from sandown and Atkinson?
To 2/11 750 and 11:26 , What I was getting at is that is always a study by some hiring of outside people and business. Why do we elect a body that are supposed to be listening to its voters when they just pass things off to the outsiders to decide? From time to time it has to be but the time and money is what concerns a good many of us. // There isn't any need for a psychological study of some or all persons in Atkinson and Sandown. When they find out the costs and headaches involved in the idea of leaving the regional district for their own educational wants they will come to the conclusion of the need to drop their foolish attempts at leaving to go on their own. Time to go to the ballot box again isn't it?
You must be from Plaistow.
Above I agree, based on all the BS the Greens spew and after all the bluster what do they show up with 100 voters, turns out they got get beat down like a rented mule, 517-100 , what they like to do now is make excuses by saying all the employees showed up that's why they lost but call it what you want they are voters and had to show ID, bottom line from what I hear is a majority of Sandown residents despise the Greens and are tired of the BS, and from what I seen for a turnout of 100 votes and not knowing the town to town breakout of that vote supports what I hear.
BS!!!!!!!!!!! I was there and was never asked to see an ID and neither was anyone else in front of me. All you had to do was match your name to an address sheet. Voter fraud is not something unions are not familiar with. Any one could have used a provided name and ran with it.
I've personally done a extensive study on moving the district. and it is not remotely feasible, and it didn't cost you folks a cent because I did it out of the goodness in my heart... And, well that's it
Peace
Stevie Van Beck
Above BS!!!!!!!:
YOU ARE A LIAR plain and simple , in ORDER TO VOTE everyone was required to show proof of residency and broken into groups by town , then provide ID then matched to town and address, I was there and a family member of mine worked the tables ....so you are just a LIAR, if you DID NOT vote you would not need to provide anything.
Hey I am telling the truth period. Never asked for an id and got a card to vote. Maybe they just forgot at the table I went to but to call me a liar and not sign your name speaker volumes.
/12 @11:51, It doesn't and shouldn't make any difference what town I live in. I stand firmly of my opinion as it was written. Why don't you sit back and give real thought, pro and con, about the mess the district is in . When you do you may just find that what has been said by me is the truth. You then can make your decision to get to the polls and vote to rid the present members ,if only a few , out of the SAU.
@ liar:
LOL you probably where at the Sandown table if your breathing you vote and Donna Green gives them a ride to the school.
It would be considerate if you were to say who your calling a liar. Use the date and time of the "liar" to do just that unless you have guts enough to say who the person is that your calling a liar. No wonder there is so many misunderstandings on the site.
I think it's despicable that people name others and ridicule them without signing their own name. It's our right to speak freely, thank America, but some posters here are abusive and cowardly. Anyone who tries to better the system is great whether you agree with them or not. Take that away and we will be living in another Nazi Germany.
Its obvious the cat nut is back . The nut is trying to do the best they can to keep things as they want them to be. A selfish nut that doesn't seem to want to agree with the majority here on the site. We need to have him exposed by the administrator . The administrator could send him the message by threatening a court order and then go for it if they do not stop their stupid harassment on the site. Of course I believe in freedom of speech,etc. but this is abuse by this nut cake.
Above Comment ?
Give me a break have you seen some of the whacko comments on here?....you have Donna green on here who throws accusations and Lie's around all the time....and you are going to worry about some guy making Cat comments ?....LOL! good luck with that in a court of law.
the Greens exposed the crap- you either like the smell or you don't
He/she likes the smell and pulls the blankets over their head at night to sleep with hopes of more smell to follow.
Nothing is anonymous, people.
"Lie's" ..good one. I never, ever take the advice of an illiterate.
You live in a town of whackos zealots and xenaphobes.....this town has been on the front page for years with these nuts and it looks like new blood has come in to keep the mass hysteria going with the Greens and Artus we look like an mentally unstable town, I wish the trouble makers would just go away , just when we got rid of Mark Accaird and all of his antics here come a few more nuts, always the same M.O. (Old bitter angry with nothing better to do but complain)
Mr. Acciard, Mrs. Green and Mr. Artus are all honorable, open and honest people fighting against corruption. They are the best citizens of our towns and we are lucky they care and are effective people. You and others try to say they are whack jobs. Because they persist in exposing lies and insist on transparency from public officials and exposing the truth. That's what they do that you and others like you fear. There will be much more to come. Some real "traction" is developing slowly and your name calling is really only to mislead people who read here. Yes, a few people will be mislead. But others will recognize you as a sick hack who values ego and lies more than true integrity.
The above two comments from DONNA GREEN so obsessed with her image she post on every site covering her EGO driven tracks, you make us laugh its all about you when the voters come out and vote 517-100 that tells me you are a joke 5 to 1 what happened to "The voters have spoken" well the did and you still can't handle it, you think now is bad wait until march comes.
2/19 @ 11:56, Show us all how you know it is Donna Green. Show us the proof and if your so sure of yourself let us know your name rather than hide it being anonymous.You accuse anonymously in an open forum but you haven't guts to be out there as have Acciard ,Artus, Green and some others. Lets see if you can stand on your own as they have. If not then shut up and go away.
They have no Ba((s. Hats off to the greens and the rest.
Why isn't anyone talking about the Conman being in more trouble? Where is the newspaper and blog article?
You mean Accaird filling Bankruptcy in 2011 (Its PUBLIC RECORD) but yet he will tell us how to run our town finances?
Feb.20@ 9:09& 10:00am, What is the Conman "being in more trouble"all about? Enlighten everyone here please. The election is near and it would be better to know which way to vote about him and his cronies wouldn't it? _____At least Acciard had the guts to file for his bankruptcy be it personal or business. He left it behind him openly doing the right thing to do at that time. What can you say about the Conman that refuses to have any thought of going into total hiding for what he has done in his past ? Do you forget that he cost the town a fortune and embarrassment with his sexual and Halloween incidents? What else has he done recently that the general public doesn't know about? There can't be any doubt you and 9:09 a.m. have the answer so share it with us.Your both the same person posting and waiting for the time to post again . I notice that you do that when you want to do your insulting hateful diatribes on subjects here.
I wrote the 9:09 post but not the 10:00 post. I heard he's in trouble again with the cic, heard it in town hall. Acciard lost business when he called Acciards customers and told them he was being investigated by the APD. How evil was that.
@ February 21, 2015 at 6:05 AM:
(this is Donna Green)
Donna don't be a fraud and use your real name when you post and I will use my real name when I post....such a BS artist, I love how you work the all the Blogs and local newspapers everyday (Eagle Tribune) plus your own blog always smearing people with the name calling (I.E pinnochio academy, bobble heads , liars etc..etc) but when its done to you ....you cry foul!...such a full of BS hypocrite
Famous Donna Green quotes of slander and nasty comments and accusations : (HER WORDS)
YOU HAVE TO WONDER IS THIS ABOUT PERSONAL VENDETTAS OR ABOUT OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN?
SO MUCH HOSTILE WORDS FROM SOMEONE WHO BRAGS ABOUT CARING ABOUT OUR CHILDREN YET SHE HAS NONE IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM?
" BEWARE OF A WOLVES DRESSED IN SHEEPS CLOTHING"..............
Here are a few Quotes with plenty more to come, why is it okay for Ms. Green to say whatever she wants in the public forum but yet she gets mad at comments like this?
(1:) " Most people would feel more comfortable facing the Grand Inquisitor "
(2:) " And of course, the no big secret, that Mrs. Grosky, the budget committee chairman’s wife, was hired to combat “The Greens.”
(3:) "As I said before, Timberlane does not look for the best people in its own backyard;
it climbs up on ladders and peers into bedroom windows. And nepotism is far from the only hiring problem."
(4:) "Pinnochio Academy "
(5:) " Bobble Heads"
(6:)"The Timberlane School District uses the services of the Plaistow Police department for police details throughout the year for sports,
cultural and other events at the schools. Now can be added protecting elected officials and staff from “harassment.”
(7:) "Collins Flashes His Guillotine Again"
(8:) "Ms. Buco, in a very public forum, laughs at, agrees with and supports characterizations of Dr. Metzler that are less than kind
(i.e. calling him a baby with his diaper on too tight, a brat, immature, etc…)."
(9:) "One of the nice things about having a blog is that I get to answer my own questions"
(10.) "Superintendent Metzler praises our district for putting kids first.
I guess that is unlike other school districts. From my observation about bloated staffing levels,
it seems to me our district puts employment first and the interests of families second."
(11:) "Your Board at Work Doing All the Wrong Things"
(12:) Perhaps the new staff person will be able to take over the burdensome responsibility of
smearing my reputation to the Sandown Board of Selectman.
(13:) Surprise! Cozy Low Bid for PR Contract

Perhaps you should look up the Federal law...LOL!
Why don't you fill us in? Meanwhile, tell us about libel.
Yes Donna Green you could be sued for libel and frankly im surprised Mr. Metzler and other s have not done so yet.
Donna Green overstates her role in "achievements"
Recently Donna Green wrote a letter to the editor of the Tri-Town Times. In that letter she specifies eleven "accomplishments" she believes she was instrumental in helping to achieve. While she definitely had a hand in some, she clearly overstates her role in most.
We will be shedding some light on the most egregious over the next few days leading up to the election, March 10th.
Donna believes she has brought scrutiny of the district budget and tax rates. What she has actually done is brought a lot of confusion and chaos. Last year's budget deliberations were a mess with Donna on the committee. If anything, Donna's presence and constant distractions brought less scrutiny of the budget. Simply watch any of the budget committee meetings on Vimeo to realize this fact.
Donna's husband's estimates, not hers, of tax rates were no where near correct. He estimated the following increases to school tax rates:
Atkinson +.2%
Danville +9.1%
Plaistow +3.6%
Sandown +8.2%
The actual school tax rate increases/decreases were:
Atkinson -2.0%
Danville +5.7%
Plaistow -.07%
Sandown +5.2%
As you can see, accuracy is lacking. If the Greens were instrumental in anything it was their inability to accurately predict tax rates.
While the Board did make an effort to mitigate tax impact through their actions in October 2014, beyond the typical return of surplus, it was also the first time they had the opportunity to do so because of the Health Trust refund and the retention fund. These two sources of revenue were not available in years past. There wasn't a history of not using these resources to mitigate taxes that she magically reversed. Donna Green, in fact and ironically, voted AGAINST using money from the retention fund to mitigate taxes. Today, she tries to tell everyone she was instrumental in a decision by the board achieving tax mitigation that she DID NOT SUPPORT.

Here's to your next trip. Glad you'll have company, please send us a postcard.
Donna Green does not support screwing Atkinson,
Mr. Collins does - Jacks mentor.. And Kate wants a
Committee to study the funding of the district?
Honestly folks pay close attention. read the Friends of Timberlane on FB and see how they bully this woman......
Why can't everyone sit down and listen, hear the other person and make a logical decision based on facts. Why is this so hard in this Town?
Pusher get pushed and Bully's get Bullied and this is what has happened to Donna Green, when the comments about peoples families and false accusations come out, (Like who started the Timberlane Facebook page)....then how much respect to you expect from voters& posters.....she took the wrong path to peoples ears.
I don't read her blog, however I think that her questions are valid and the answers don't come. This is what disturbs me, not the path she took to the ears and everyone deserves respect.
Above comment:
Total BS and you know it, she is so sick I would not be surprised this is her making comments in another persons name.

Wow, I found the the Friends of Timberlane on FB.
Posters on there are trying to tell Rob Collins to stop posting negative postings about Mrs. Green.
ROB COLLINS response postings yesterday to those asking him to stop:
t's kind of strange. I get the feeling you feel like you are the friends of Timberlane FB page police.
I'll make a deal with you. You stop reading my posts and comments and I'll stop reading your posts and comments. That way I won't bother you with what I feel is important for others to read.
Deal?
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I get that you don't like me enlightening others about what Donna Green is doing. So, move on.
I promise you I will uphold my end if the bargain.
You are right she is being bullied. Mr. Collins post daily attacks though many have asked him to stop over and over again,
Facebook Friends of Education at Timberlane

Social media is a waste of time since much of it is used to attack and bully others.
Above comment you need to re-read that comment he/she was talking about Donna Green being the bully and that's why she can get no one to listen to her....but then again you probably are donna green posting again like you are someone else which is a classic pattern of hers...after all she answers her own comments on her own blog.
