Dear Senators, I understand that HB1633 has been relegated to “further review”. I ask you this: This document shows that J. Grimbilas Strategic Solutions LLC made campaign donations to certain Senate candidates in 2023 on behalf of the NHCADSV, who paid it $6000 for lobbying. Apart from the fact that straw donating is strictly illegal … Read more
By J. Grimbilas for the NHCADSV Dear Rep. Sweeney, I’m concerned about dark money in New Hampshire’s politics. The Secretary of State provided the following 2023 RSA 15 declaration from J.

Or Say I’m Exercising a “Jihad” In various attacks in the New Hampshire media by journalists associated with the Catholic Church, whose law firm, Nixon Peabody, also represents the NHCADSV, I have been called various names and been accused of a “Jihad” against the NHCADSV. Journalists should look up the meaning of a word before … Read more
I noticed the NH Journal article on School Districts that lied about its numbers. By comparison, NH Journal has been unwilling to look at NHCADSV’s numbers, which are all over the place and simply do not add up. The NHCADSV has provided wildly different numbers on the number of people it serves. Central Crisis Center … Read more
The NHCADSV has made a series of claims that are false – this undermines not only any perception about the NHCADSV but also risks undermining trust in the public agencies it works with: Sensationalist lies are very dangerous. They harm victims. They harm defendants. They harm women and children, they harm credibility, and they harm … Read more
The Criminal Justice Committee heard several bills on Friday relating to domestic and sexual violence. HB1651, HB1740, and HB1633 caught my attention [hearing video shared below]. First up was HB1651, introduced by Rep. Jennifer Rhodes. It was heavily supported by the NHCADSV, which had multiple lobbyists there on its payroll. They also had a three-person … Read more

There has been no accountability in New Hampshire for the cover-up of corrupt police officers by the Attorney General’s Office. AG Gordon MacDonald stated in August 2018 that the list of Laurie List officers should remain private. He defied Judge Charles Temple’s opinion in April 2019 that the Laurie List should become public. Later, his … Read more
Look at the document “Woodlock – DM’s Partial Victim Impact Statement” that was submitted on the eve of James Woodlock’s sentencing last week by David Vicinanzo and Russ Rilee. It was sent to the media as well. The media link goes into Jane Doe #146’s lawsuit, which states that Woodlock sexually penetrated (raped) Jane Doe … Read more
On a purely technical level, Harmony Montgomery was a victim of human trafficking that resulted from dysfunctional family courts.

The plot thickens for Gordon MacDonald, Jane Young, The Diocese of Manchester, and Edward Arsneault: RTK emails received start to reveal what’s going on. I am now in receipt of 6 pages of Right to Know emails from the Attorney General’s office. These are communications from that office regarding the Diocese of Manchester. While these … Read more
Gordon MacDonald must resign in the wake of the Woodlock Conviction – he is immoral and unfit.

Running for re-election in the City of Concord as an “at-large council member” Here is a link to Amanda Grady Sexton’s profile for her re-election campaign to the City of Concord.

As a moral matter as well as a legal matter, to quote David Vicinanzo from an article at InDepthNH, the State’s decision to keep the Grand Jury Criminal Investigation report private without a public hearing or notice is a betrayal of all those kids abused at St Paul’s School. David Vicinanzo represented “most, if not … Read more
