Watching the Kevin and Janet show one would think that Kevin and Janet are running for election. Looks like they feel that the candidates they are backing are not that well known and cant carry their own weight on the issues. Tag team by association I believe the term is called. If that wasn't the most obvious forced feed interview and question and answers session from the candidates anyone has ever seen. Geez.
And then the ADT group are backing Joe DiChario and not the guy who is an actual member of the ADT Al Dimmock....What? They're endorsing a non member over a member? Whats up with that? And Joe DiChario has been to how many meetings lately??? Or is it just that Kevin wants Pastor Joe in so that he will do Kevin's bidding. Interesting.
On top of that Kevin comes out and says that I have no integrity and said it twice. It didn't come out of Joe's mouth but Kevins. See who is really running folks.
Well I got news for you Kevin. You are the biggest hypocrite I've ever seen. You have no integrity! E-mailing a taxpayer who was critical of you and telling her to "shove it" and then volunteering to negotiate on a piece of land that Poor Mr Bonner who was frail and needed to get out of his house for health reasons and then you vote "no" after leading him to believe a deal was done. His house still is on the market after 2 1/2 years. And then You have the nerve to sign off on your own abatement as a councilor and you have the nerve to say I have no integrity???? Look in the mirror Kevin!

Brian,
Coyle and the ADT minions are suprising you? Why. Coyle has been setting up coup for years.
I wrote last June:
“Meet the new boss same as the old boss” wrote The Who in song “We Won’t be Fooled Again.”
You seem to feel that Burtis/Newell/Coyle are something different than you have described. They are not.
Coyle’s Machiavellian transparency seems to have escaped you. If you lived on Newell’s property you would see why he has a jihad against property taxes. His neighbor across the street has an even greater reason. Burtis is a taxpayer leech (thank God on some other poor municipality) armed with a false since of self importance. You seem to align your thoughts that “they” are Everyman.
We can agree that we need NEW LEADERSHIP.
But how do we avoid rehashing of the same old retreads that are from one polarized position or the other.
But until we do a nationwide search for proven leadership, with a substantial track record of successfully handling the issues we will face to reach specific goals that will cost major investment in the future, diametrically opposed to the ADT philosophy, Derry will simply “Be Fooled Again”

BC They will put forward the dead to get votes. Stabbing Dimock in the back? He is the only one that takes himself seriously.
Finally, some excitement on this blog. Its been dead for months. Please elaborate on the real estate deal and Coyle's abatement.
Brian,
As Communications Director of the Alliance of Derry Taxpayers I must to correct you. The ADT is not endorsing any candidates. Given our not-for profit status we do not endorse candidates. We care about our legal status and the facts. Please try to do the same.
Doug Newell
Communications Director

I just saw the Kevin and Janet show. I am so disappointed that 2 elected officials can sit on cable TV and bitch like 2 Yentas on the View. All so within character for Janet (the troll) Fairbanks. She would argue with her own reflection. Her rotten opinion of everyone she disagrees with is expected. But Coyle, a public servant,acts like an arse.
What a lowlife. This gives us all a clear view of his personality.
Coyle is an loser. He needs to be exposed.
Doug,
Ok i guess your not endorsing Joe officially...wink wink.
Do they have some backroom deal with Comcast?
I would like to get Fairpoint FIOS for TV as I am currently wired for internet and have their phone service.
They say Derry residents can not have the TV from fairpoint and they have a deal witha satellite service called Direct TV.
This is not right, we should be able to do business with and lawful business.
Brian, your post is concrete evidence that you should step aside. Seriously, did you pay any attention in school or life? Have your employers ever required you to file a report using proper english? Although you are not my councilor, I find your poor grammar and disjointed thought process very concerning. I hope those in your district that are slow learners have finally had time enough to put your pieces together. It's a standards thing.
You and the other two poorly dressed blow-hards you appeared with on 17 are why Derry will never stand united. Simply put, it's a choice between the dopes vs. the brains. A no brainer, right? Not so in Derry, with more than our share of straw-men stumbling around.
Our community really should seperate into Derry and East Derry. I wonder if it can still be done? If so sign me up.
Doug... the ADT cares only about the facts they can generate. You're not fooling anyone. Smoke and mirrors only work for so long.
By the way, how did that "New World Order" work out for you guys?? Oh, sorry. Let me rephrase. The ADT didn't get the support you *thought* you were entitled too and your grand plan for the Charter Commission turned out to be a kinda kick in the nuts.
It's ok. We know. Sometimes things just don't work out. Good luck in the elections though....
Did everyone miss the lawyer bonding moment where Coyle announces that electing DiChiaro will put 2 lawyers on the council? DiChiaro then shows his true suck up colors by saying that he (DiChiaro) can handle all the civil matters and Kevin can handle all the criminal stuff. The pure arrogance was astounding!
1) DiChiaro is a RETIRED lawyer, from California no less, likely never licensed in NH. But that won’t stop him from telling us much better off we’d be if we did things like the good ol’ boys on the left coast.
2) The guys running for district 4 town council, not a town attorney position. Do you think Kevin and Janet bothered to explain that to him? Or were they too busy back slapping each other, while back stabbing Dimmock.
And on the subject of Al, I personally have little use for his endless council tirades. But he’s been a fixture in the ADT since before DiChiaro even moved to Derry. You’d think the ADT would at least show him a small degree of loyalty.
Just an example of how the ADT works. They kicked Carney to the curb when the ADT brain trust decided his shelf life was expired, now they do the same thing with Dimmock. You think DiChiaro has any idea of the shark tank he’s swimming in? Doubtful.
Brian,
So you are suggesting that we are secretly endorsing candidates? Do you have any clue what a dumb idea "a secret endorsement" is?
It appears that you are accusing us of violating our legal mandate. Please present your evidence. (or publicly apologize)
Doug
Brian,
I hate to break this to you but I wasn't forced fed anything by Kevin or Janet. I had no idea what the questions were going to be. My only contact with them was that there was going to be a tv show and to show up at 7:00.
Tom Cardon
OMG, Joel Olbrecht is running again!
That will be good for a few laughs. You can't help but notice how angry Joel gets whenever he speaks at town council meetings.
That final Joel and Jack DEDC anger show was priceless entertainment when they came begging for funding but were rightly deep sixed. What a record these two assembled.
Can Derry afford more of this angry incompetence? I think not.
Doug,
Perhaps you could enlighten us all about the relationship between your group that can’t legally endorse candidates (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) the Alliance of Derry Taxpayers, and your other group which can and has endorsed candidates, the Friends of Derry Taxpayers.
Can you prove that you are not just taking from the left pocket (ADT) and putting it in the right pocket (FDT) and then taking from the right pocket and making a significant deposit to the FDT candidates’ war chest? Would you be willing to open up the books of both groups to public scrutiny?
If you or Mr. Cardon or DiChiaro are receiving any money from the FDT are you willing to disclose who makes up the group? Are there any town union members? Is there anyone in the FDT that isn’t in the ADT? If not this would appear to be nothing more than an elaborate shell game. One that would allow you to effectively sidestep the charter commission’s ordinance on campaign finance reporting.
Perhaps we’ll discover that it is you that owes Brian a public apology.
Watched the latest episode of The Janet and Kevin Show on Channel 17. I couldn’t help but be bored by most of the banter, however one bit of entertainment was the continued lack of professionalism on the part of Councilor Fairbanks. She was giggling so incessantly throughout that I thought her giddiness might cause her to sprout wings and flit about the room.
Besides DiChiario’s blatant display of arrogance and his apparent desire to sit on the council as the town civil lawyer, what is worse and far more insidious in my opinion is his unapologetic dismissal of science.
In a portion of the program referring to the EIS, he showed his true colors. Dichiaro is a man that is obviously unable to grasp the importance of Science and the Environment. He appears to think that its all a bunch of hogwash. Lets be clear, this is a man who is not shy to admit that he sees ZERO value in environmental science, the conservation of habitat, or the preservation of animal and plant species. All of which contribute greatly ( whether he believes it or not) to our own species ability to survive.
Dichiaro made mention of several situations where he was faced with “inconveniences” (my word, not his) caused by (and here he actually finger quoted) “enviro scientists”. His distaste and frank dislike of the subject came through loud and clear. Just know if you vote this man in, be prepared for him to vote against anything that concerns open space, water quality or clean air. Perhaps he knows how to survive on stagnant polluted water and foul air… oh wait he’s from California isn’t he? Out there they are used to breathing smog and borrowing water from the mountains of other states.
I did agree with him on at least one point. It is indeed the apathy of the voters that is the real problem in government. When only a small portion of the population cares enough to vote or to run for these positions – you reap what you sow.
Brian
You asked, "Joe DiChario has been to how many meetings lately???" I don't know but couldn't you say the same thing about the big foul mouth guy hiding on here as anonymous? I believe his name is Joel Olbrecht. Haven't seen Joel at a meeting either unless he was begging for money for the defunct DEDC with his other cry baby Jack Dowd. That's a path this towns doesn't need to take.
I liked the story in the paper last week about how the DEDC is working behind the scenes. See all the new businesses they brought in. Looked like an article to get Joel's' name out there and the DEDC is a good thing...NOT
Somebody really wants Joel on the council. I know the price of the small signs but how much must those big ones I see with his picture. Looks as if he thinks money might win. Somebody wants something for the money they put out for him. Who are the unions supporting this year? Why hide it, let us all know where the money comes from.
11:06 Neil- you still don't get the way campaigns are legally funded. Rather than spend my time educating you, why not just disclose the facts. This Cardon/Newell campaign has been financed 100% by (you guessed it) Cardon and Newell... there's a real shocker.
Now how about it, Joel? Have you figured out where your money is coming from in this campaign?
While driving to work today through many towns I saw lots of campaign signs. All were basically the same size, some square, some rectangle, but roughly the same size. Except in Derry! There is one candidate out there, Joel Olbrecht, who has money to burn. He has signs twice the size as others with his picture on them even. Now that seems a little overboard. Somebody has to be funding this guy, think he knows who? Wasn't it just last year he couldn't remember who funded his campaign. Every person running for town council should say where they are getting their money. What could be wrong with that? When you look like you have something to hide, you probably do.
I could gather that's why we have heard on this board how great the fire department is, trying to improve their image. They want to be liked so you will like the candidate they support. They won't tell you about their support, they'll hide it in emails to their friends and other union members.
Let's get campaign financing out into the open once and for all.
Annon 10:08,
I couldn't agree more.
I just opened my Nutfield News and found two flyers. The flyer that Joel was on disclosed the group that paid for the flyer and its cost to get inserted in the paper.
The flyer that Newell and Cardon are on disclosed nothing about who paid for it. What are they hiding? Newell has stated many times in public he wants full disclosure. What is Newell hiding? Hypocracy at it's finest.
10:08 You might be interested to know the new Charter (as proposed by the recent Charter Commission) includes a campaign financing disclosure provision. It will be some months before that is enacted but as you can see above, Tom and I have no problem disclosing this information now.
Doug Newell
BC maybe rename your blog post "Who's actually running?...and "Who's pocket are they in?"
"as you can see above, Tom and I have no problem disclosing this information now."
DJN, as soon as you actually disclose something this statement might carry some weight. Right now we have your word.
That and $2.50 gets me a big DD coffee.
Side note: I suspect that your most recent charter commission will be as successful as your last one. GFL!
Anon 10:08,
Those oversized obnoxious signs that feature Joel Olbricht were in part paid for by the DFD union during the last election that Joel lost.
Joel by now may have had time to remember who paid for the signs. This was lost to him on channel 17 last time when asked about campaign financing (for an accountant he sure does have a knack for forgetting numbers).
The signs are recycled from his previous defeat just like the brain trust of retreads that Joel represents; think DEDC.
8:16 It wasn't my Charter Commission, it was Derry's and you will note that the changes that we approved were agreed to pretty much without exception by people from both sides of the political divide. (For example I often voted with Brenda.)
As for disclosure. I would be delighted to put canceled checks on the ADT web site documenting who has paid for the Cardon and Newell campaigns as soon as I hear anything from the Joel or David. We are still waiting for a public statement from them about their financing sources.
Sorry my word carries no weight with you. I don't recall ever questioning your integrity. But then who can tell since you choose to question mine while remaining anonymous.
Doug
Still waiting to hear how "Community for a Better Derry" financed it's campaign. It's nippy out but since hell has not yet frozen over I'm not expecting an answer. We are left to speculate as to who might want to buy the Town Council of Derry.
Doug Newell
DJN,
Ah, but it was your charter commission! Did you not collect the signatures and present your 2nd charter petition in 3 years to the town clerk?
The fact that your candidates did not win a majority on the commission does not abdicate your role. That you did not win what you expected to win and thereby found yourself having to vote with Brenda whom you’ve slashed in the past does not make you wiser. It makes you a hypocrite.
You realize the tax issue lies on the school side of the ledger yet you and your friends run for town council and charter commissions. Why? Because you care less about taxes and more about power. Power that yourself, Tom Cardon and Joe DiChiaro hope Coyle and Fairbanks will share with the three of you because they fear Jim Webb, Al Dimmock and the other candidates might not do their bidding. March in lockstep or else!
Will you also shirk responsibility on the council if you’re elected yet again without your cast of supporting bobbleheads? If so you should at least tell the voters to vote for all or none. Or you could run as an independent if you have the stones. Being the brightest out of a package of Moe, Larry and Curly will never get you anywhere.
DJN's comment at 7:40 above is a bit hypocritcal, don't you think?
Folks, be very clear. DJN has advocated for public disclosure of campaign finances. In this campaign he has disclosed nothing - zilch, nada. Check out the Nutfield News Flyer - he doesn't even state a fiscal agent as he is obligated to do.
Yet his political two step is to critisize the actual disclosure of others.
It's no wonder why DJN is such a close persona lfriend of Kevin Coyle - they have so much in common. "Hypocracy" for starters.
3:58
Told you where our money came from (came from Tom and from me 100%), still waiting to hear from Joel.
By the way, since the world is waiting with bated breath, my fiscal agent is Howie Lund. If I failed to include that fact on my insert please don't tell the FBI.
Still waiting to hear from Joel.
Joel are you out there? Joel where'd that money come from? Any coming from people with financial interests in Council decisions?
You can tell you are getting near the truth when the likes on 3:58 start to howl.
Joel are you out there? Joel where'd that money come from? Any coming from people with financial interests in Council decisions?
Still got 11 hours until the polls open. Has anyone heard any answers to these questions from Joel or any of the Good Old Boys?
Their silence is deafening.
DJN,
Just because you say you paid for your campaign does'nt make it so, does it?
Asked in another way, does your passion for campaign finance simple depend on the word of the candidates? On the Nutfield flyers Joel and others made disclosures in writing, you have not.
You've disclosed nothing.
Doug, How's that win tasting now?
OHHHH that's right. The ADT has lost YET AGAIN. I guess those that came out to vote really didn't care who bought signs for who or just didn't buy what you were selling on "contract giveaways", "backroom deals", and cronyism. Maybe next time.
There is one thing though that I feel the ADT would be perfect for however. If we could just get you guys to Washington and put you in charge of the healthcare bill, it would be an absolute shoe-in for failure. Be one more thing that would make my day better.
