BOA Accountability Project

The Board Of Aldermen Accountability project is a ‘League of Conservation Voters’ style report on how Board Of Aldermen members vote on issues of concern to NH CAN. We hope that a report on votes can cut through verbiage and present the voting records of our representatives.

New Haven Board Of Aldermen (City Council)

The Board of Aldermen meets the first and third Monday of every month in the aldermanic chambers, 165 Church Street, second floor, except for holidays. During the summer, the Board of Aldermen meets the first Monday of the month.
