After our original post on Gov. Sununu’s nomination of Andrew Livernois to the State Superior Court, a number of individuals commented on various aspects of what we’d reported. Along with that came what I can only call whistleblower accusations of suspicious conduct in Belknap County that Andrew Livernois would likely have had to have been aware of.
The EC vote is tomorrow, so this is a bit last minute, but if any part of what the whistleblower infers is true, that vote should be delayed if not rejected.
We have attempted to confirm the whistle-blowers’ claims and are awaiting references for many of them, but the individual who claims to represent others in this declaration assures me that their “research” will prove accurate.
We are publishing a portion of it based on the intricate nature of the accusations. Something is up, and it needs to be worked out, as does any implication that Andrew Livernois was connected to or directed any portion of the circumstances as outlined.
We suggest only that the confirmation vote be delayed until these statements can be investigated and confirmed or denied.
Belknap County is ordering pre-trial and convicted individuals to attend any one or more of the following services/therapy conducted exclusively by a provider that is approved by the Laconia Probation/Parole office. The services are … Anger Management, Batterers intervention, domestic violence intervention, group therapy, individual therapy, and psychological evaluations.
Laconia Probation and Parole is exclusively requiring those “clients” to seek services with Mr. David Garbacz from Granite State Domestic Violence Intervention Services LLC, registered as PO Box 47 Silver Lake NH, 03875. Previously registered as 278 Pleasant St., Concord, NH, which is Riverbend Community Mental Health’s address, and another location of 90 Airport Rd, Concord, NH, Suite 18.
As such, individuals have reached out to Riverbend, which denies that Mr. Garbacz ever worked there, nor did they grant him permission to use their address.
If you do a Google search, several sources still cite Garbacz as working for Riverbend,
The email goes on to suggest the services were cash only, occurred via telehealth, no insurance, and that Garbacz was not properly licensed in NH at the time, but that a significant sum in payments for services moved through Garbacz’s hands.
The whistleblower suggests that hundreds of clients were handled annually, many meeting with Garbacz in large online groups, making actual “therapy” unlikely or impossible.
We were told that the full statement and other evidence had been sent to the Executive Council. The email we received closed as follows.
Mr. Livernois is responsible for the reincarceration of those defendants who do not comply with unethical orders that he and his staff are requesting of defendants, which violates the state and US Constitution for the right to seek a provider of your choice for cash, insurance, or other payment. Not with a cash-only business that isn’t actually providing the service they are selling. This is why insurance won’t pay for the service because none of it is legit.
We neither affirm nor deny these statements and welcome evidence confirming or refuting any or all of them, including links, written testimony, or other eyewitness statements. We hope, at the very least, that the confirmation vote can be delayed while these allegations are investigated if the nominee is not simply rejected by the Council by a majority vote tomorrow.
