resident will realize what he is doing. We should be able to track increases very quickly and
simply.
It is also ironic that the mayor has now put in a Six Year Budget Analysis that states that he cut
the budget down by $856,593. This sure does not look like budget cuts.

The Nashua taxpayers need a mayor and Board of Aldermen that are not just going to keep
spending money on their pet projects. But most importantly the Nashua taxpayers’ demand
honestly and transparency from our elected appointed officials.-There is much to improve on
here.
