The Mayor's development plans for Nashua, funneling public money into public and private corporations created by the City, appear to be nobody's business but a select few loyalists. I was certainly not part of the secret club.
Read MoreThe Mayor demanded "Drop all the lawsuits, they go nowhere", claiming, "Volunteers of the City were sued", everything gets dismissed', "you get sanctioned." Aldermen Dowd agreed with him. (I did not sue volunteers of the City)
Read MoreCity board chairs play a sneaky game: They slide important communications to Board members the instant the meeting begins and then state that if there is no objection, the communication will be accepted into the record. This is a bad practice, and it is all too often used to conduct public business privately.
Read MoreThe most recent court order found that the Director operated in bad faith, ordered costs to the pro se litigant, and enjoined the city from further committing these violations.

The City has pitted a team of four attorneys against these two self-represented litigants, a David and Goliath scenario that underscores the uphill battle these individuals face. It is disheartening to witness how cases involving public records in Nashua, which should be straightforward, become entangled in complexity.
Read MoreThe NH Court must decide if this project's meeting and records generated in the shadows can be seen in the sun. Should hearings on the expenditure of public funds be open to the public? It came to that!

I recently filed two Attorney Discipline Office complaints, one against Attorney Hilliard and another against Attorney Bolton for failing to provide me with a properly and equitably marked exhibit book for a December 2023 Trial in which I am seeking records on the downtown barriers and the Nashua Performing Arts Center.
Read MoreWe need the Courts to share our public record interests, as our NH Constitution specifically recognizes, and permit us to challenge the open, accessible, accountable, and responsive actions of our cities. We are not vexatious, frivolous, or bad-faith citizens out to create burdens or harm anyone
Read MoreWhen the Judge issued the decision, she wrongly asserted that I counseled the pro se citizen at the hearing. She cited me for potential criminal action for falsely representing myself as the attorney for this pro se litigant. I am concerned that my city has worked tirelessly to criminalize my RTK efforts even going so far as to have me arrested. Now we have a Judge abetting the City’s extraordinary retaliatory efforts to silence anyone who dares question them?
Read MoreI suspect that the city attorneys know the judges will align with the city, and the court will do its utmost to accommodate the city. This might be a reasonable approach if the City were dealing in good faith and honoring their words stated in court.
Read MoreThe above are instances of three different judges accommodating Mr. Bolton regardless of the burden his demands placed on plaintiffs and court time. It is puzzling why judges would enable Mr. Bolton by accepting his assertion that he would not communicate directly with opposing plaintiffs.
Read MoreThe requester reopened both lawsuits, filed a protective order, a contempt order and an RTK lawsuit. The hearing is on April 22, 2024 at Nashua Superior Court.

Laws exist that permit citizen access to meetings and records but without the good will of those serving to provide access and records, it all falls apart.
Read MoreEconomic Development Director Cummings and Mr. Lannan, non-resident Nashua Appointee have robbed citizens of our legal rights and are spending tens of millions of dollars without allowing any public oversight.
Read MoreMayor Donchess actually confirmed this at his recent public coffee stating that residential property owners are not subject to any legal action from the City if they do not pay their taxes.

Mr. Cummings is running covert operations with extravagant projects paid for by taxpayers.

Mr. Cummings stated that these high costs are because the City wants to engage the public and encourage their participation, especially on the Main Street Downtown project. Really?
