Board of Aldermen 12-22-2020 Page 43
And | just want to mention again the Mayor is buying into this nonsense, this anti-scientific nonsense by
taking down my Save Women’s’ Sports Flag and he’s also buying into the scientific nonsense that women
have any chance competing against men in their own sports. They don’t. And | don’t understand why the
Mayor and Alderman Schmidt felt like they had to hide that message that women’s sports are under threat.
Thank you.
President Wilshire
Thank you. Next we have Chris.
Chris Hey thank you for hearing me out. | just want to say one thank you to the Aldermen who voted to not
(audio cuts out). I’d like to point out Alderman Dowd for his rationale comments and | appreciate it and my
own Alderman, Alderman Cleaver. | appreciate it. There was a few things that some of the Aldermen said
during their arguments that (audio cuts out). One it seems to be that there is some assumption that we can
print money and just give it out. Oh if Washington would do this. If we are looking to Washington to solve
our problems, one we are wrong and two | don’t know why this body and this level of Government would
exist. Some of you should probably read the (inaudible) papers because you are straight up failing at our
job and your understanding of your role.
We don’t want Government to work that way and our Legislative and our elected officials exist and rule
because we allow them to. Once again, I'd like to thank all the Aldermen who voted to not bring about this
Government overreach. | don’t want any more Government overreach, | don’t need any of it and | don’t
think it’s what the people of Nashua or the people of New Hampshire are about. So some of you can go
back to Massachusetts. That’s all | got.
Alderman Lopez
Lori, you’re on mute, it’s the slogan of 2020.
President Wilshire
It is. Anyone else from the public that wishes to give public comment? Seeing none, remarks by members
of the Board? Alderwoman Kelly.
REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you. I'll Keep things brief, it's been a long couple of days and a really long year. | just want to say
thank you to all of my fellow Aldermen and all of the City Officials for their hard work and dedication in 2020.
It’s our last meeting and | wanted to say Happy Holidays to anyone who will be celebrating the next week or
so and hopefully we can all come back in 2021 refreshed and ready to go.
President Wilshire
Alderman Tencza?
Alderman Tencza
Thank you Madam President. | just wanted to express my, well say Happy Holidays to everyone on the
Board, express my thanks and gratitude again for everything people have done this year, especially Madam
President, wanted to thank you running these meetings over Zoom. It’s difficult enough when we are in the
Chambers trying to coral everybody and manage all the various personalities of the public and the Board. So
thank you very much for leading us through what has been an exceptional year as well as to the Mayor and
the staff at City Hall for everything that they have done. | think that, you know, as much as we get criticism
