Maybe City Hall will need that $240,000 armored truck to repel residents upset by the decision to buy it.
Just what would it take for the public to rise up in arms, anyway? A few more decisions like this?

REFITTED FOR HOUSING
Before:
An abandoned mill, built on a railroad spur and relying on steam power, has found new life as affordable housing. Now touted as Woodbury Mills, it has 42 “apartment homes.” It’s one of several repurposed and renovated mills in the city.
And after:
MOSES CARTLAND
A pioneering educator, Moses Cartland taught in this combination school and Quaker meetinghouse at his family’s farm in Lee, New Hampshire, after previously establishing the Clinton Grove Friends school in Weare. A staunch abolitionist, he was also a founder of the Republican Party in New Hampshire and a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
Moses and his cousin John Greenleaf Whittier were closest friends and lifelong bachelors, at least until Moses married one of his students – who was also a cousin. Although considerably younger than Moses, she predeceased him.
WALNUT GROVE
The Quaker Cartland family built a prosperous farm in Lee, New Hampshire. Their house was a stop on the Underground Railroad, carting escaped slaves to freedom.
THE NEXT BUZZ
I’m still worried about the decision to buy Dover’s police department a $240,000 armored truck.
What’s next, drones?
ON TARGET, MAYBE?
Well, maybe we’ve hit on the real reason the city police department needs that $240,000 armored truck.
It’s to defend the local SigSauer production site.
Seriously?
STILL SMELLS FISHY
I’m still wondering why my little city’s police department needs a $240,000 armored truck.
Is it to defend the gundalow that will be docked along the river?
Protect the historic boat from pirates?
And then, what about a getaway on the water – with a heavy truck in hot pursuit? Stuck in the mud or sinking.
IT AIN’T HAY
I’m still trying to figure out why my little city’s police department needs a $240,000 armored truck, courtesy of Homeland Security.
A better use? Sell it to buy hay for the mounted patrol’s horses.
I can personally attest the horses blocked a speeding car that was about to hit me as I stepped out in a crosswalk. Let’s see that armored truck do that!
HERE OR THAY-ER
Some folks in Washington are all too happy to approve $240,000 grants to buy armored trucks for little ‘burgs like Dover – while trying to derail health care for all Americans as too expensive.
Huh? These things add up … quickly.
HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
Why does Dover need a BearCat when the Seacoast Emergency Response Team already has one parked just down the road?
And when was the last time it was really needed?
I’m beginning to think the vote was a result of this long, weird winter we’ve had. Not that the truck would do any good with a plow attachment.
