The Union Leader reported the news on Friday.
Salem Selectman candidate Stephen Kelly no longer wants to serve on the board, according to a report from the Union Leader. Kelly, who recently filed to run againt incumbent Pat Hargreaves, can't remove his name from the ballot. According to the report, Kelly decided after attending a few board meetings that the position wasn't what he had in mind. Should he win the seat in March, Kelly would have to decline the position, in which case the other board members would likely appoint Hargreaves.

But with the primary still three years away, most New Hampshire voters are understandably still undecided.
OUTSIDE MANCHESTER, NH -- Hillary Clinton is the heavy favorite among New Hampshire Democrats for the 2016 New Hampshire Primary, while no one in the Republican field has yet to separate from the pack. Yes, it's still three years before the 2016 Primary, but a WMUR/University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll released Thursday night shows that Clinton is the prohibitive favorite among Granite State Democrats. The poll surveyed 581 New Hampshire residents. A whopping 63 percent of Democratic voters said they plan to vote for Clinton, compared to 10 percent for Vice President Joe Biden, 5 percent for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and 2 percent for Newark, N.J. Mayor Cory Booker. Biden made numerous stops in New Hampshire last year, …

Residents battled for the Salem services during the town deliberative session on Feb. 2.
Salem's full slate of outside human services will remain in the proposed operating budget after residents voted against a Board of Selectmen amendment to remove them. During the Feb. 2 town deliberative session at Salem High School, residents voted 58-29 against the removal of $73,153 designated for nearly a dozen agencies. The original plan was to have residents vote on the services separately under Article 13 on the town ballot. Residents later voted 70-19 to zero out that article. Language was added at the suggestion of Salem resident Bernard William Campbell to let voters know that the money previously appropriated is now included in the budget. Salem resident and Budget Committee member Paul Huard thanked the selectmen for referring …
A 7.7-acre parcel of land is currently owned by the town.
The commercial viability of a 7.7-acre parcel of land owned by the town was debated on Feb. 2 during the town deliberative session at Salem High School. A warrant article related to the property, which is located on Keewaydin Drive, will move to voters in March. The article asks for authorization to sell the property if an opportunity presents itself in 2013. The parcel is abutted by Brooks Properties, Osomor LLC and Salem Corporate Park. One resident asked if the parcel could handle a fire station. "Sizewise, it could house a fire station, (but) it's land-locked – it would be quite a challenge to unlock it," said Selectman Jim Keller. Town Manager Keith Hickey said that preliminary value assessments on the property are at about $300,000…

Newly elected NH GOP chair promises to take her party in a forward direction.
BEDFORD – Jennifer Horn's message was loud and clear. For the GOP to find success and regain a strong foothold in both the New Hampshire and national political arenas, Republicans must change their thinking and their tact. "We must put to rest forever the notion that the Republican party does not care, that we don't care about women, that we don't care about the elderly, that we don't care about children, that we don't care about the most vulnerable among us," said Horn. We must put to rest forever the notion that the Republican party is the party of old white guys. It is time to renew the GOP to the 'Great Opportunity Party.'" Horn, speaking to roughly 450 of the Granite State's most influential conservatives Saturday afternoon, promised …
