Remember, I got some tips that some not so nice things were happening at the Gunstock Ski Area so I started looking into them with this Right To Know for emails. surrounding Tom Day and Cathy White (GM, CFO). Again, most were mundane, some interesting, and some disturbing. But two other names kept showing up within these email threads so this past Wednesday, at the Gunstock Area Commission public meeting, I dropped another email RTK on the Commissioners as these two ladies also seem to be nexus points:
Pursuant to the Right to Know Law (RSA. 91-A:4 (I) ), I am demanding access, within 5 business days, to the below enumerated governmental records Otherwise, if this cannot be fulfilled with the mandated 5 business day window per RSA 91-A, please advise when the Responsive Records will be made available.
This request is for any emails involving Gunstock Mountain Resort employees Rebecca LaPense and/or Robin Rowe for the time period of January 1, 2022 through to end of day, today, March 25, 2022:
-
- Individual outbound emails from the email accounts provided to Rebecca LaPense and/or Robin Rowe as part of their employment.
- Individual outbound emails from the email accounts provided to Rebecca LaPense and/or Robin Rowe as part of their employment.
The information for each responsive record shall include:
-
- TO fields, FROM fields – all addresses
- CC fields, BCC fields – all addresses

- SUBJECT field
- And the Body of the email itself.
Per RSA 91-A:4 IV(c) If you deny any portion of this request, please cite the specific exemption used to justify the denial to make each record, or part thereof, available for inspection along with a brief explanation of how the exemption applies to the information withheld.
As you are aware, in 2016, the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that a governmental body in possession of records is required to produce them in electronic media using standard of common file formats: Green v. SAU #55, 168 N.H. 796, 801 (2016). Unless there is some reason that it is not reasonably practicable for you to produce these records in the requested format, I ask that you either do so or explain why it is not practicable for you to comply.
Please also note, per RSA 91-A:4 III, III-a, and III-b, you are required to maintain the safety and accessibility of such responsive records. This also includes such responsive records (e.g., emails) which may have been deleted from respective Inboxes but are still available on the applicable email server or in your / email host backup system(s).
Please let me know when these records will be sent to me for inspection.
You may email the responsive records to me at Skip@GraniteGrok.com. If the volume turns out to be substantial, I have already set up a Dropbox folder for all of your responsive records to which they can be uploaded
Thank you for your lawful attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Skip Murphy

For the record, I expect to see more of the same. Especially of the “interesting” ones.
