Mayor Guinta - Stay With A Winner
Wednesday, October 31, 2007 at 04:08PM Maybe I'm confused.
Mayor Frank Guinta is up for re-election after serving two years as Mayor of Manchester. Easy enough to understand.
His opponent is an attorney who was on the Manchester School Board. One of his main campaign themes is a promise to make education better.
Mayor Frank is already working on that, just like he is at reducing crime - down a considerable sum, and cutting taxes - which he has done as promised in his first campaign.
Now the Mayor's opponent thinks Mayor Guinta is weak on education?
Then how, two years ago, did Mayor Guinta give such a shellacking to "Mayor For Life" Bob Baines the former school teacher? If anyone is "pro-education" you would think it was Bob Baines.
I think former Mayor Baine's idea of pro-education was simply throwing more money at it. The voters probably picked up on that as well.
So the reason Manchester voters should jump on board another tax and spend platform with Attorney Donovan is...
There isn't one.

FACT: Guinta ran on cutting taxes, three failing high schools and cutting crime.
FACT: He has done ZERO on any of the three.
FACT: Now ALL 21 schools in Manchester are labeled as failing.
FACT: Murders, robberies and violent assaults have risen by double digits.
FACT: Many residents saw their taxes go up 20%
FACT FINDER: Improved our schools from the Manchester perspective --- not Washington's
FACT FINDER: Donovan knows nothing about Public Safety by meeting with Police Chief for a mere 30 minutes. Gimme a break!
Ed is right on --- Vote Guinta on November 6
Why do you keep pushing losers, do you think all those wonderful people in Manchester are that dumb to vote for a guy that ran on less and delivered move tax dollars
sounds like he didn't know what he was talking about
come on chum its toast time for the look alike of Alphonse Gabriel Capone
People need to wake up and elect some REAL leaders - people that will look out for our wallets for a change. Elect Guinta, Duval, Garrity, Pepino, Sullivan, Pinard, Greazzo, Roberts, Hirshmann, and Verville!
Are you saying that after six years of tax increases under the "education mayor" Manchester wasn't the top school in the state?
I'm shocked.
Guinta said that he hadn't been able to devote as much time to education as he would have liked because the crime problem was consuming so much of his time and efforts. That's quite a different statement than what the slime slingers at the city committee are claiming.
I know of only one Manchester mayor who was stopped for drunk driving on Route 101 in the last few years, and it wasn't Frank Guinta, Ray Wieczorek, Syl Dupuis, Emile Beaulieau or Bob Shaw.
By the way, for all you gin and tonic drinkers at Donovan headquarters, it's "Captain Morgan".
Stop being such a crybaby when Bob Baine's sleazy personal behavior is brought up!
I often write about Manchester just to prove a point.
In this case two points:
1. Frank Guinta is the hands on favorite to win tomorrow because he has EARNED that position.
2. Manchester politics are some of the most bottom feeding in the state and that is because of years of Amsterdam Democrat style slash and burn campaigns. It is getting old. It has run it's course. The last minute slander mailing just doesn't have the clout it used to.
See how sad the Amsterdam Democrat comments are on this blog.
