I never thought I would have an opportunity to name an article after my favorite Simon and Garfunkel song, but here we are. I am talking about Attorney Celia Leonard, locally known as Deputy Corporation Counsel, and a direct report to Attorney Bolton.
Southern New Hampshire and Northern Massganistan
Since the 1930s, governments, politicians, leaders, and members of freedom-crushing movements have been using the word “Crisis” to accomplish goals that “The People” would never have voted for or allowed to occur if we were not told that it would “Solve a Crisis” of some type.

A Private Citizen Spectator’s Thoughts on Attorney Bolton’s Compensation.
With the Senate Judiciary hearing for the dastardly RTK Tax (HB 1002)scheduled for Tuesday and the remainder of Laurie Ortolano’s RTK suit against the City of Nashua set to resume on Wednesday, Attorney Bolton has been a squatter in my mind. I point readers unfamiliar with him to this video.
The Unethical Tactics of Attorney Hilliard and Attorney Bolton to Impede a Fair Trial

The War on Your Right to Know: Bias Against Pro Se Litigants
I have spent three years in the Nashua South civil court addressing records disputes with the City of Nashua. During this time, I’ve gained experience formulating an opinion on the impartiality of the Nashua judges in hearing cases brought against Cities.

The State’s Janus-Faced Position in the YDC Cases

I urge you to consider the following and act accordingly to prevent further abuse of public trust and funds: The attached article regarding the YDC child sex abuse claims and the parties involved contains statements regarding a “Janus-faced position”.

Judges Should Conduct Themselves Impartially, but This Is Not Happening in Nashua
Nashua’s Superior Court civil judges appear to align with the Nashua City Attorneys on Right to Know (RTK) cases. Judges are required by their ethics rules and training to conduct themselves impartially, but this is not happening in Nashua. I’ve been before two judges for my cases: Judge Temple and Judge Colburn.

If You Want to Change the Right to Know Law, Give Citizens More Power, Not The Government
I have been in court for over three years, arguing for transparency in Nashua’s public records. The experience has been profoundly disappointing. The courts are overburdened and under-resourced and often appear aligned with the city.
Rumor: Local Police Chief’s Policy Is to Prevent Officers From Enforcing Federal Immigration Laws or Detainer Requests!
SB 563, a ban on sanctuary cities, predictably advanced in a 14-10 roll call last week to Senate Finance, but not without the expected drama in the chamber. You can click here and skip to 4:56:20 for almost a whole hour of debate, but you already know the outcome.

Local Government: Just Give Us The Money
High fives and many kudos to Kevin Tyson, “The Feudal Model of State-Funded Education.” He eloquently and accurately described the very concept I held in my mind as I wrote my call for help last weekend.
City Hall has an Opportunity to “Come About.”
