March 14, 2023 Op-Ed

NH State Rep Steven Bogert at the Belknap County Delegation meetings – use of email BCC feature vs RSA 91-A (NH’s Right To Know Law)

March 12, 2023March 10, 2023 Skip

He thinks that he’s keeping from establishing a “quorum” via doing BCC emails (“Don’t do REPLY ALLs”). Won’t tell us who the “appropriate people” are that gave him the advice information.
