My RTK journey began almost 2 years ago when the City of Nashua was appraised for new property values (Laurie Ortolano has a wealth of examples to supplement mine). Shocked by my personal copy of their report, I sought to know specific methods in which specific types of properties were appraised, compared to one another, … Read more
With the Senate Judiciary hearing for the dastardly RTK Tax (HB 1002)scheduled for Tuesday and the remainder of Laurie Ortolano’s RTK suit against the City of Nashua set to resume on Wednesday, Attorney Bolton has been a squatter in my mind. I point readers unfamiliar with him to this video.
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.

I put in a Right To Know demand for the police records for Attorney Bolton and I received 86 pages of documents going back to 2000. Frankly, these records are stunning. They depict a very angry, hostile,out-of-controll man who lacks self-awareness and self-control.
Good afternoon, I watched the Board of Aldermen meeting this morning and was stunned by the conduct of Attorney Bolton representing the City as Nashua Corporation Council.
Chief Carignan, I am writing to ask the police to issue a warning for harassment to Mayor Donchess, Director Kim Kleiner, and Attorney Bolton.
The City has hired Attorney Russell Hilliard to represent a Right to Know Petition alleging record violations within Director Cumming’s Economic Development office. Mr. Cumming built a publicly financed Art Center, denying the public access to financial and construction records, and installed barriers downtown without proper noticing of public meetings. Attorney Bolton and Attorney Leonard … Read more
I have expressed my concerns regarding the fitness for duty of Steve Bolton, Nashua’s Corporation Counsel, through numerous private communications with the Mayor and the BOA. My concerns have fallen on deaf ears.
I am appalled by the actions of Attorney Steve Bolton’s behavior at last night’s Board of Aldermen meeting. Every Nashua resident should review Attorney Bolton’s unprofessional, unethical and rude behavior last night.
Washington And Nashua Have A Lot In Common Selecting people for critical leadership roles and monitoring their performance is paramount to an effective government. We all watched a bizarre public outing of our president’s diminished capacity and analysis of his fitness for duty. Those closest to him failed the nation by covering this up and … Read more
Inspired by yesterday’s Facebook post by former Attorney General Kelly Ayotte regarding her affection for law enforcement and a recent piece on her primary opponent, Chuck Morse, I have an important question for BOTH of them. What do they plan to do with Formella?
In June, I learned that the City legal office conducted Right-to-Know training for interested City employees. Learning about this during a deposition for my Right-to-Know lawsuit, my Attorney asked City Attorney Bolton to provide the training material.
At last night’s Nashua Board of Aldermen meeting, the aldermen debated an ordinance to put new restrictions on public comment at public meetings. They discussed banning public comment that is “rude or profane.” City Attorney Steve Bolton warned the alderman that such a ban could be ruled unconstitutional.
Contracted legal fee agreements are approved by the Mayor and require no approval of the Board of Aldermen (BOA). The purchasing policy does not require the Finance Committee or Board of Aldermen to approve legal services above $25,000. The Mayor and Legal Office have unchecked control over the legal fee contracts and the terms and expenses associated with … Read more
The Federal Flag Hearing On Tuesday Morning, November 5, 2024, the Concord Federal Court held a merits hearing on the Scaer v City of Nashua First Amendment Flag case. The coincidence of our National Voting Day and this case could not be more fitting. I had the pleasure of attending. The City filed yet another … Read more
Why did the City spend $650,000 in attorney’s fees and City Costs in an RTK case? The First RTK Petition – My Costs – $225,000 I started seeking records in Nashua, the Welcoming City, in good faith, believing the City would comply. While New Hampshire’s Right-to-Know (RTK) law does not require employees to answer questions, … Read more
If any Nashua resident feels that the city is transparent, try obtaining the redacted New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) emails that describe the cryptic scheme that resulted in the Performing Arts Center deal. The City does not want residents to see what was done behind closed doors. The Court just denied my Petition for an … Read more
Many readers are already familiar with that Nashua flagpole matter, which I said I would share updates on, and there are a few worth mentioning. I sent in my 91A request early on the morning of June 7 and received a reply on June 12, telling me how voluminous my request was and that I … Read more
As a potential victim, um I mean constituent, of Rep Ming, I try to keep an eye on his activities. Yesterday, he tweeted about his support from one of his ilk, former Rep Melbourne Moran Jr, of Wanderlust Therapeutic Services LLC.
