Secondly financially it doesn’t make sense. Every business is somebody’s dream. They put everything into
it, it is their goal, they want to work for themselves, they sacrifice everything, they sacrifice time, they
sacrifice time with their family, they miss their kid’s baseball games. Just so that they can run their
business. And so when we sit there and we say oh we are going to do this, you are not only destroying a
business, which you really are just destroying out of fear, but we are destroying somebody’s dreams. And
who really cares if you survive COVID if your business and livelinood is wrecked. | love how we call
everything well that’s job is essential and this job isn’t essential. If that is the job that you use to provide for
your family, it is essential. It is essential to you regardless of what some politician says.
And the last thing | would say is what is the message that we are sending to our kids? That the second that
a virus with a 99% survival rate comes that we run in fear? | was in the Marine Corp Infantry, | went to Iraq,
Afghanistan, multiple times. I’ve seen war and I’ve seen kids there going to school and having ID’s go off
having firefights break out and they still go to school. Yet here we are with our schools closed wanting to
close down people’s businesses at 9:30 out of fear. We lived in California before we were in Nashua, we
left California because of this type of Government overreach. | left to get away from this type of politics, |
didn’t come here to sit here and have the Government and the local politicians sit there and tell people what
they can and can’t do. It should be you Know our choice to do what we choose to do. Live free or die,
please vote no.
President Wilshire

Tyler Ramrath Tyler Ramrath of 34 Tufts Drive. | spoke last night, my comment is to note the exercised
bias demonstrated ... (poor audio — audio cuts in and out)
President Wilshire
You're breaking up Tyler, we are having a hard time hearing you.
Tyler Ramrath 34 Tufts Drive is that better.
President Wilshire
That’s better.
Tyler Ramrath My comment is to note the exercised bias demonstrated last night during the Special
Meeting on the part of the Board in regards to the proposed curfew ordinance. Extra time was
conspicuously afforded to those comments in favor of the proposed ordinance in contradiction to the stated
goals of (audio cuts out) commenting as it pertains to the proposed curfew. That impropriety is well noted
by this constituent and many others. Thank you.
