November BCRC: General Members Only Meeting - Charges against Gregg Hough (Meeting Disruption) - Granite Grok

November BCRC: General Members Only Meeting – Charges against Gregg Hough (Meeting Disruption)

Gregg Hough Democrats turned on me FI

Last Wednesday, 11/9/22, was the monthly meeting for the Belknap County Republican Committee.  Instead of the normal agenda, the first part of the meeting was set aside to consider charges against former NH State Rep Gregg Hough for materially disrupting the October meeting by calling into the Weirs Times office, via a proxy (who has now been named), to suggest that the Editor, Brendon Smith, call to cancel his speaking at the October meeting.  And in doing so, to do it at the last possible time such that the Executive Committee would not be able to find a replacement speaker.

Of course, IMHO, it was to continue the efforts by Hough and Gunstock Area Commissioner Doug Lambert (of DGF Industrial) during the last few meetings to materially disrupt the meeting with numerous “Points of Order” and motions at almost every single opportunity.  Hough even publicly berated the Executive Committee at the October meeting for not asking for the Gunstock Audit Report (that hadn’t been made known to be public nor, at the time of this writing (yesterday), still isn’t on the Gunstock.com website even as Commissioner Lambert assured the attendees at the October BCRC meeting would happen).  It has been one PR stunt / slight after another, IMHO, against the Conservatives Republicans – a case of “the aggressor accusing others of making him a victim”.  Never is there any acceptance of the idea that, perhaps, they have any culpability at all in their activities that are now causing a backlash.

Here are the charges for what the EC called a case of “serious misconduct” against the BCRC (Hover over the page and the Navigation bar will appear) in the case of Gregg Hough:

BCRC Gregg Hough Charge Sheet

During the time allocated to the Hough Affair, I did testify that I had spoken with Brendon and that he had affirmed that such a call had happened. Given that GraniteGrok put up the recording of his speech from the October BCRC meeting, it was clear that Hough, once again, was a complete failure.

It was clear, however, that the General Members voted to acquit Hough but that the margin was only by two votes: 14 YES, 18 NO, and 4 Abstentions. The motion to remove Gregg Hough from the General Membership of the BCRC failed.

.. IMHO, it was not because the charge was that far-fetched. It was that the Members would have preferred to have had Editor Smith(*) speak directly to the Members. Remember that Douglas Lambert also tried to “subvert” the October meeting by making a motion to move Brendan Smith’s slot in the agenda to the end (in hopes that Hough and Lambert could continually delay the meeting until Smith just left is my supposition).

BTW, he did mention that he wanted “to remove Skip Murphy” – what he actually did was to have GraniteGrok removed from reporting on the meetings of the BCRC.

Baby Huey Sununu as dr and Mike Bordes as his hairless cat

And as you can see on video on multiple occasions, NH State Rep Mike Bordes, aligned (IMHO) with the Citizens for Belknap Democrat PAC end goals (removal of all Conservative Republicans from the Belknap Delegation and now from the BCRC) acted like an ass.  Worse than Hough and Douglas Lambert. It was CLEAR that his only purpose in being there was to disrupt the meeting at every chance he could. Given that he relied on poses with Sununu for his campaign, someone sent me the image…

…I think that the message was supposed to be “his pet”.

 

 

(*) Note: A response this BCRC action has been forwarded to the General Members confirming that what was under discussion by the BCRC Executive Committee members (and myself) that what was alleged to have happen was, indeed, what happened.  If this updated information “makes it into the wild”, I will put up an update.
