So, what is it that Commissioners Lambert, Wood, and Conroy are afraid of that will now be public? Catherine at the Laconia Daily Sun reports that all three voted to shut down the investigative sub-Committees (Legal, Audit). Why?
Late today, I received emails containing 60 pages of materials from the Gunstock Area Commission’s Audit Committee that was investigating possible allegations of “things not right.”
You know, that sub-committee that Commissioners Doug Lambert (of DGF Industrial ), Jade Wood (NH GOP Area 5 Vice-Chair), and Denise Conroy (who hates both of them) just killed off (along with the LEGAL sub-committee that was looking into the deep reasons why the GAC was suing the Belknap County Delegation (seems to me to be a made up reason for politics to draw attention to the REAL reason(s) – like why did Gary Kiedaisch spend $110,000 in legal bills without the GAC voting to allow it? Using it as his own piggy bank for lawfare purposes?). They made sure to deep-six the sub-Committees.
So what ARE you hiding, Doug Lambert, Jade Wood, and Denise Conroy?
I have been promised more – much more. And knowing that the Laconia Daily Sun’s Catherine McLaughlin put in a similar RSA 91A for the Audit Committee records – I shared them with her this afternoon. This should turn out to be quite interesting on several different levels.
I’m betting it will make for some riveting reading!
Here is that Right To Know:
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 demand this cannot be fulfilled within that 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 as well as for any and all assorted documents/materials involving all of the Gunstock Area Commission’s Audit Committee (“GAC-AC”) activity for the period of January 1, 2022, through August 17, 2022.
Responsive records will include (but not to exclude others not specifically enumerated in these general categories):
- Any and all hardcopy-based information: workflow papers, financial records, financial and audit trail Standard Operating Procedures, GAC-AC interim work, and analysis materials.
- Any similar information of the above but in computer-readable formats: all computer based file types such as databases, voicemails, images, name/publisher of software used, spreadsheets, word processing documents, financial records accessed, et al.
Also any email/voice /written communications between the GAC-AC members, Gunstock Area Commissioners, and Gunstock Mountain Resort staff concerning any and all Audit Committee work.
For emails, the information for each responsive record shall include:
- TO fields, FROM fields – all addresses
- CC fields, BCC fields – all addresses
- DATE fields
- SUBJECT field
- The Body of the email itself
- Any and all attachments of any email message having such
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, unavailable 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 common file formats: Green v. SAU #55, 168 N.H. 796, 801 (2016). Unless there is some reason that it is not reasonably practical to produce such, explain why it is not practical 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 Skip@GraniteGrok.com. If the volume turns out to be substantial, I have already set up a Dropbox folder to use in uploading those responsive records.
Partial release of demanded information is allowable (e.g. some, but not all materials, as it may take a bit of time to gather and deliver). If there is a substantial amount of hardcopy materials, I will come review them at an agreed upon time and place.
Thank you for your lawful attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Skip Murphy
