Control Chaos: Mayor Jay Ruais, Kris Neilsen, Ashley Kitchell, Sherman Packard and Karl Zahn

Proving that the WFEA’s Counter Conversations is indeed controlled chaos, as we were joined by a rotating cast of guests that included Manchester Mayor Jay Ruais, Liberty House’s Ashley Kitchell, visitNH.gov’s Kris Neilsen, NH House Speaker Sherman Packard, and political satirist and Substact commentator Karl Zahn.

May Ruais discussed the budget and said he wants to see a budget that respects the Manchester tax cap.

Ashley Kitchell helps listeners understand how veterans in need can access the Liberty House Pantry for food and clothing needs without being a Liberty House resident. We also discuss the upcoming fundraiser – Stand-Up for Vets Comedy Show on May 2.

From visitNH.gov, Kris shares upcoming NH-based activities for the entire family over the next few weeks, including during the upcoming NH school vacation.

And Karl Zahn chats about current events with our host, Jeff Chidester.
