and 4 of the agreement. This was not a reasonable response to the Board of
Aldermen’s decision to refuse to create more unfunded obligations for the City.

Nashua is the Last Community in New Hampshire for Which the Leaders of the
Police Department are Appointed by the State of New Hampshire

The Need for More Uniformed Police Officers
Does Not Justify Giving Big Raises to Civilians

If inadequate pay for uniformed police officers is a reason that the Police
Department is not at full complement, then providing above the cost of living
wages to civilian employees does not help, but hurts in solving this problem.

Nashua’s Health Care Costs Are Rising 20%, or $6 Million Over Just 2 years

We are in a time when health care costs are a state of instability across the nation.
Nashua is not immune from this instability.
