George Hansel: Claremont School District

Former Keene Mayor, radio host, and policy expert George Hansel calls into the show to share his thoughts on political rhetoric that turns to violence, and the senseless death of conservative thought-leader Charlie Kirk.

We also draw on George’s experience as mayor to try to wrap some sense around the massive budget hole that the Claremont School District is in. George stated that from time to time, a school district may find themselves dealing with a shortfall, but the Claremont situation is one of the worst situations George has seen a district in.
