What are the options and how can they be implemented? Joe senses hopelessness, but does Rich see a way out? Tune in! In the second half of the hour, Dan Cloutier of the Goffstown School Board came on the program to discuss the current controversies going on with the Mountain View Madness in Goffsown. He’s taking heat for his refusal to sign the board’s ethics policy, and he gives us the backstage story about contracts, administrators, and non public sessions.

Hour Number Two

In the second hour, Rich continues the budget talk as we wait for our celebrity chef for restaurant week, Nicole Barreira (T Bones, Cactus Jacks, Copper Door), and the suspense builds as Rich, Mike, and Dave desperately hope for food samples. The conversation soon turns to housing development and service-needy home dwellers, and whether or not schools should have a seat at the planning board so they have to be involved in the planning process. In the second half of the hour, Sarah Matta comes in for Date Night Done Right, sponsored by Jacque’s Flower Shop! She’s brought in Christine DeCloux of the Tuscan Kitchen, plus Nicole Barreira found her way to the studio!
