Statement by Jack Kimball on Signatory Authority by the NH GOP Chair

Former NH GOP Chair Jack Kimball’s statement concerning the email thread posted here on GraniteGrok of the situation concerning current NH GOP Chair Jennifer Horn’s refusal to keep to her agreement to not seek signatory authority of the NH GOP’s bank accounts (and other financial instruments) (emphasis mine): Soon after my election as GOP Chair, … Read more

More than a food fight at NH GOP HQ – and only one standing up for Principle thus far?

Will he, Dr. Robert Scott, be that only one standing?  Or has he just been led in front of the firing squad wall – alone?

I received either the same or a similar email thread that was sent to Pindell over at WMUR.  Unlike him, who only put up excerpts (er, why?  He’s got that blog site and putting it up is almost a negligible marginal cost.), I’m putting up what I have and you can decide.  Will this prevent more from coming in?  Dunno, but here is one thing you can count on.  Over the years, the ‘Grok has ALWAYS been on the side of a more open and transparent Government.  Given that, why not be open about one of the Parties, especially since James has already started the email dump?  And yes, it seems like everyone is trying to dump on Robert Scott for trying to stand up and protect the assets / good standing / name / history / <insert “good stuff” name here>.

Why put them up?  Why yak about what is going on at the NH GOP E-Board level? After all, these elites “rule” Party since we elected them, right?  Why should we trouble our little heads, we who ARE State Committee Members (like most of us here at GraniteGrok)?  Turn that question around: why shouldn’t the State Committee Members know of the food fight (with what seems to be with embedded razor blades)?  And instead of “ruling”, shouldn’t they be governing the Party with our consent?  Should we not be holding them to the same standards that are espoused in our Platform?

A la Drudge, consider this “Developing”.  Interesting that Dr. Scott starts off with a “wait, you agreed to not sign” with a Ms. Horn immediate response on Dr. Scott concerning FEC reports – such a deal!  Seems from these emails to be a “I want what I want and here’s how I’m gonna get it” and if a sullying of Dr. Scott’s reputation is but a tool in which to get it, er, well, politics ain’t beanbags as Papa Smurf has been known to utter.  Well, we’ll take his other advise: “talk, talk, talk, talk, talk…talk to your family, talk to your friends, talk to anyone”.

Indeed; it is what we do at the ‘Grok!  Begin forwarded messages (emphasis mine):

ROBERT SCOTT FIRST LETTER TO STOP SIGNATORY

Fiscal Liability?

Dr. Robert Scott (wisdomteam@hotmail.com)
3/28/13
To: jennifer@nhgop.org

Good Morning,

It has come to my attention of your interest in becoming a signer on one of our GOP bank accounts which is directly contrary to our mutual agreement that we determined after receiving the advisement of our counsel, auditor and insurance agent in regards to your personal fiscal liability. We agreed that you would not sign anything.
