The observation has been made before but remains very much true in the case of Howard Brodsky, the new Citizen of the Year as announced by the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce.
Reading the news the other day, a colleague said it was a fine choice but expressed surprise that it hadn’t already been made. We agree. If there were to be a definition in the dictionary of citizen of the year, we’re guessing it would include Brodsky’s picture.
He has been a successful businessman whose genius led to a nationwide cooperative, which has kept prices low for businesses and consumers alike, and has provided and preserved jobs as a result. Not surprisingly, Brodsky was a founder of the New Hampshire Better Business Bureau and a leader in its own community efforts.
He has been one of those special people who gives back — quietly and countless times — to his Manchester community. His support has helped keep the fine arts alive here and has helped bring them to underprivileged groups, including youngsters.
Howard and his late son, Jeff, established the annual Brodsky Prize, which helps high school students pursue careers in journalism.
It’s a fine choice by the chamber, which has information as to the April 4 event to honor him at www.manchester-chamber.org/citizen-of-the-year-celebration.

There is much wisdom in the old and simple saying that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Regrettably, some well-intended legislators in Concord this week are moving to “fix” our Right-to-Know Law.
Now that national pundits and pols have left our fair little state, what to make of the 2024 presidential primaries?
As the dust settles on the 2024 New Hampshire primary, residents of the Granite State find themselves contemplating the future of an event that has long been a cornerstone of American politics, our first-in-the-nation primary. The question at the forefront for many: Does it even have a future?
New Hampshire lost two of its finest citizens in recent days. The state is better for their having been here.
