We have an audit committee, a whistleblower hotline, new school administration leadership.. public meetings available on the web, and most of all... an awareness that you CAN make a difference for the better!

SEVEN YEARS RUNNING ! Where parody brings reality!
Our parody was second to none, drawing viewers townwide- then we showed them THE FACTS... all from the public record.
Did you know? NKSPENDING's Chris Prata was the very first NK resident ever to web publish meeting video of NK elected local officials in action!
Did you know? NKSPENDING published school board and town council meetings on cable television for months while advocating for our town to do it themselves, and succeeded!
DID YOU KNOW? NKSPENDING HAS NEVER BEEN DISCREDITED! OF COURSE ANY CITIZENS WATCHDOG GROUP IS A "BEST YOU CAN" EFFORT, AND WE'VE MADE THE OCCASIONAL CLARIFICATION BUT NO SUBSTANTIAL FACT PRESENTED HERE HAS EVER BEEN DISCREDITED (EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN PUBLIC DOCUMENTS, THINK ABOUT THAT!)
RESULT? WE HAVE A MUCH BETTER MANAGED TOWN NOW!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: If you were wondering who the "CCNK" / "NKTRUTH" really is, the foundering "founders" are members of the nk "republican" town committee in disguise, even though they say they are "nonpartisan". A FAKE "parents group"? Wow... Click Here! "nonpartisan" CCNK is really an nk republicans group Simply put: NKGOP-Halley faction - all the same, only they don't want YOU to know it. Now you do. CCNK.ORG - nicholas dewhurst - gregg o'neill - paul dion - mark halloran (an nkgop chairman!)

"The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure." --Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 1823. ME 15:491
