PLANNING BOARD WORKSHOP TONIGHT – TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON HOUSING DEVELOPMENT – TONIGHT 7PM AT WINDHAM HIGH SCHOOL<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James Madison warned us that factions could capture representative government and turn it against the people. Alexander Hamilton warned that when representatives misrepresent themselves, republican virtue collapses. And Thomas Jefferson believed government closest to the people is the healthiest form of democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the town level, New Hampshire has always trusted its citizens. We decide zoning by warrant article. We govern by town meeting \u2014 the purest form of self-rule still alive in America. Yet Concord now steps in to override those votes, not because the people asked them to, but because a faction in the State House wants to impose an ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They aren\u2019t governing as Republicans or Democrats \u2014 they\u2019re governing as Free Staters. And their goal is clear: dismantle local control. The Founders would recognize this as exactly what Madison feared \u2014 a faction hijacking representative government to silence the will of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And we see the results already: recently enacted Free State laws have rendered much of our local zoning ineffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why this moratorium matters. It\u2019s not just about building permits \u2014 it\u2019s about whether Windham governs Windham, or whether Concord governs Windham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
