They are as follows:<BR/><BR/>“Chiefo pulls the strings and the select board puppet of three jump under the table with hands over lips, eyes, and ears. Oh lordy, lordy, lordy...so skeered of him. Mommy, mommy, mommy...I need my mommy.”<BR/>February 9, 2009 6:05 PM<BR/><BR/>AND retract the following:<BR/><BR/>“Whatever they are, these are not men. A man is a ROCK WITH A HEART. Not a coward to a bully with a badge.”<BR/>February 9, 2009 6:09 PM<BR/><BR/>I retract those statements. I should have made my comments more statesmanlike and said it in such a way as to make a contribution. The Chief does seem to obtain what he wishes from the select board. That is my observation. But I retract my implication the Selectmen do not attempt to ever stand up or make a decision from fear. On occasion that may be a motivation. But on other occasions, each selectman has, in my opinion, stood up for their on ideas and made decisions that were respectable, even when under considerable pressure. There are always two sides to a story. And I am not privy to every story.<BR/>I also retract my statement that the Selectmen are not men. Each sitting selectman stood up and ran for office against opposition. That is not a cowardly act. Each has taken on a low paying job to give back directly to the community. This is manly (or womanly). And each has donated time away from their families to fellow citizens. It takes courage to stick your neck out. <BR/><BR/>Chief Concentino? He has done some kind actions for the elderly that were genuine and taken so by them. No man is without some merit. Yet it appears some elderly do not receive assistance that they need. That requires change. And Mr. Consentino, in my opinion, must be very careful not to step over the line when it involves intimidation of citizen’s rights when acting in his official capacity. The court records on the Atkinson Taxpayers Association indicate a pattern that warrants a serious modification of his behavior.<BR/><BR/>Everyone has some good in them. And it is also true that we are all responsible to control our own “dark side” so that “dark side” does not impair our own families, relationships, neighbors, associates and professions. We can all make a positive difference in the lives of others…if we do that. <BR/><BR/>So, with my two retractions being made and with calm judgment: I say now that it is important for our Selectmen and other Atkinson town officials in general, to follow the laws and obey a higher standard of ethics than average. You assumed positions of leadership and trust and that carries enormous responsibility.<BR/> <BR/>Many citizens’ rights were recently violated in Atkinson sufficient to generate lawsuits. In my opinion, all these violations were neglectful and injurious and unnecessary. <BR/><BR/>The other side of the story: I have noticed (and heard of) more kindness and consideration shown from our Selectman and the selectman’s office recently. This is a welcome change, it is noticeable, and it is appreciated by me and I bet by others.<BR/> <BR/>What is the bottom line? The bottom line is that in a genuine emergency, we will all be digging in and fighting from the same foxhole. All of us! All would pull together and help each other out. And if I saw anyone’s home was on fire, I would risk my life to help him/her and the family get to safety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-32240135269029681492009-02-08T19:19:00.000-05:002009-02-08T19:19:00.000-05:00What an arrogant hypocrit!He lectures us on the la...What an arrogant hypocrit!<BR/><BR/>He lectures us on the law, and he is not only wrong, but breaking the very law he is lecturing us about!<BR/><BR/>I am sick of the smartest guy in the room!<BR/><BR/>Try some humble pie, Frank!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-43269558199790033702009-02-06T13:07:00.000-05:002009-02-06T13:07:00.000-05:00This is true, I do try to attend town meetings, an...This is true, I do try to attend town meetings, and I do not hide my ciriticsms, but, in retrospect, If I had known that asking the chief of police to quit dealing with police issues as a selectman, was going to blow up into everything that has transpired...<BR/><BR/>I probably would have bit my tongue, and kept my mouth shut too.<BR/><BR/>So, given everything that I have been through, I fully understand those that are afraid or intimidated to put their names out there, because, make no mistake, they are putting their families into harm's way.

Frank, at least directly, was not responsible for this.<BR/><BR/>As far as "Call The Vote": Frank made one change this year that I fully approve off. You can no longer call the vote from the audience. This has been abused in the past.<BR/><BR/>So, it was Jack who requested movement and the audience approved it.<BR/><BR/>Legally, they did nothing wrong. However, there is the letter of the law, and the spirit of the law. What we saw was a well choreographed subversion of the process in order to make the warrants meaningless, and to limit discussion.<BR/><BR/>Now, they got away with this for one reason, and one reason alone. The audience was overwhelming Pro-chief. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out if you were either there or watching.<BR/><BR/>I'm tired of saying this. If you do a citizens petition, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SUPPORTERS PRESENT TO OVERRULE THE SAME CROWD THAT ALWAYS SHOWS UP.<BR/><BR/>This has happened year after year. Citizen petitions fail because there are not enough supporters present.<BR/><BR/>And, if you expect logic and reason will change the outcome - Well, forget it.<BR/><BR/>You need bodies in the seats and if you don't make that happen, you lose.

But overall I think the one we have (for SB2 towns) is pretty good. If you tinker with it there will just be more unintended consequences.<BR/><BR/>So before you guys go up to Concord to try to change the rules, I suggest that you make more of an effort to work within the system that we have. I don't just mean the deliberative session, I'm also thinking of warrant articles that are technically incorrect or which try to have the town take power not granted by the state, or which try to usurp the lawful authority or discretion of elected officials.<BR/><BR/>What I am saying here is no different from what I have said and will continue to say in my own town. We (meaning the people involved in town government in a town) would all get along better and make better decisions more quickly and with less fighting if we would all make an effort to understand and follow the rules. The rights and responsibilities of the town versus the state, and within a town, the powers and checks and balances between the town meeting, officials and boards is well defined under state law.<BR/><BR/>But I often see in my own town, and am seeing here in yours, that people want to follow rules of their own making.<BR/><BR/>It's none of my business how you run your town, I know that. But I don't want your experience to have an impact on how we govern ourselves in Danville. And that is not to say we are perfect or better in Danville.

However, in my opinion, Mr. Brownfield was causing a disturbance and no one here seems to take issue that he was tampering with taxpayer funded equipment. <BR/><BR/>1. Mr. Brownfield was informed he was causing a disturbance and was given two warnings AND told he would be escorted out of the auditorium is he disrupted the meeting again.<BR/><BR/>2. For every call to question, Frank let the legislative body second the call and vote and whether to call the question to vote. In other words he did exactly what he was supposed to do.<BR/><BR/>Despite what you think, EVERYTHING that took place at the meeting was legal. Carol Grant, although unhappy with the meeting, has said this as well.<BR/><BR/>Your only response to this will be that those in favor of the citizens petitions were outnumbered. And you have to ask yourselves why that was? You can complain all you want about the lack of advance notification, however I suspect those people -- like ourselves -- who are aware of town politics KNEW about the meeting anyway. You have NO WAY of knowing what those undecided voters would have done. And it is their own fault if they didn't bother finding out about the meeting. They probably wouldn't have shown up anyway.<BR/><BR/>Someone posted a like to Robert's Rules.org. Read AND THINK about this line:<BR/><BR/>The assembly rules - they have the final say on everything!<BR/>Silence means consent! <BR/><BR/>You can keep complaining all you want. The bottom line is this:<BR/><BR/>YOU DID NOT HAVE SUPPORT FOR YOUR ARTICLES! <BR/><BR/>What happened on Saturday was perfectly legal. The only thing you can hang your hat on is the photo incident and that is tenuous at best. Causing a disturbance at a public meeting vs. civil rights violation. It is up to the judge to decide.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I happened to tape the meeting and, unless there were multiple cameras running at the same time it is impossible to know from the tape if Mr. Brownfield's or Mr. Polito's account of what happened is accurate. IMPOSSIBLE! <BR/><BR/>So your next plan is to try and do away with deliberative session?

Our paychecks are cut in Mass and the deduction will still happen per Mass law.<BR/><BR/>If NH were to institute an income tax, the question on the table would not be how much less we would pay to Mass, but, rather, how much credit would NH give us for taxes paid to Mass. Most likely NH would give us a credit for money paid to Mass, so as long as the NH rate were the same or lower than the Mass rate we would pay nothing to NH on our Mass employment income. But Mass has the right to tax all income earned in the state, and NH has the right to tax all income earned by its residents, including in Mass, and neither is obliged to give you a credit for taxes paid to the other state on the same income.<BR/><BR/>So if NH put in a 3% tax, the worst case is you would pay 8%, 5% to Mass and 3% to NH. (I used "5%" for Mass but the actual percentage is higher, I think).Curt Springerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745137421588631460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-41142322044370902702009-02-05T23:32:00.000-05:002009-02-05T23:32:00.000-05:00This blog needs to take a deep breath and refocus;...This blog needs to take a deep breath and refocus; it's looking like a 3 ring circus right now.<BR/><BR/>There's too much flailing about with regard to the picture taking controversy.<BR/><BR/>> WE NEED TO DEVELOP A PLAN TO EDUCATE PEOPLE IN THE TOWN ON CERTAIN ISSUES<BR/><BR/>> IF THIS BLOG DOESN'T START LOOKING LIKE SOMETHING A REASONABLE PERSON WOULD WANT TO READ, THIS CAN'T BE THE PLACE THEY GET EDUCATEDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-79377136008035943092009-02-05T22:17:00.000-05:002009-02-05T22:17:00.000-05:00Well, this topic is not about income taxes, and I ...Well, this topic is not about income taxes, and I hope we can agree to disagree on this. I only brought it up because thousands of NH residents work in Mass and pay a 5% income tax, for which we get nothing in return. I hate it, but we cannot fix it. If NH had a income tax, no matter the amount, at least some of that money we pay would stay here. In other words, we have to pay it, we have no choice. But we'd rather it help NH than MASS.<BR/><BR/>I don't like either, but for me, it the lesser of two evils. All I that I would ask is that CNHT at least consider a broader view rather than blindly stick to the "Pledge" view. That state is hurt'n. So is Mass. I'd much rather my taxes benefit NH.<BR/><BR/>I have complained about this inequity for a long time. I have written to the state. I've written to the newspapers, lots of newspapers. Some of the papers responded, the state did nothing. We're talking billions that now is going to Mass but would do us much more good. So, I do not blindly support the Pledge. It is not a black or white issue for me. All I'm asking of CNHT is to consider what the pledge really involves in its entirety.

Hearing is continued to January 2009<BR/><BR/>November 26th, 2008, Concord, NH- Despite being reviewed and approved by 3 state agencies, and the local ballot group who put the initiative up, Concord City Solicitor Paul Cavanaugh has challenged a tax and spending restriction charter amendment for the city in the Merrimack Superior Court. The New Hampshire Advantage Coalition will be joining the State in defending the rights of New Hampshire Taxpayers to limit taxes and spending through citizen initiatives in chartered communities. The hearing that was scheduled for today will be continued till January 2009.<BR/><BR/>New Hampshire Advantage Coalition Chairman Mike Biundo once again expressed his disappointment in the suit and reinforced his commitment to the taxpayers of New Hampshire.<BR/><BR/>“What is the city government of Concord so afraid of?” Biundo asked of the city council.<BR/><BR/>“The citizens of Concord have a fundamental right to enact a charter amendment that limits both taxes and spending,” said Biundo. “Tax and spending caps have been a part of New Hampshire for over twenty years. Each cap proposal has been carefully written to withstand the scrutiny of three separate state agencies, all which are working to make sure that the language conforms to state law.”<BR/><BR/>Biundo described the case as a “political ploy.” The New Hampshire Advantage Coalition had originally intended to have the charter amendment on the ballot for voters to adopt for 2008, but it was blocked by the city council.<BR/><BR/>“We had enough signatures, and the council stalled the taxpayers and ran out the clock,” said Biundo. “Now we know why. They wanted time to file suit against the initiative.”<BR/><BR/>The New Hampshire Advantage Coalition will join the state on defending taxpayers write to petition their government and control their taxes.<BR/><BR/>“These charter amendments go through a thorough review process. The Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Department of Revenue Administration have all signed a letter stating that they ‘do not object to the proposed amendment to the existing charter.

The attendees were to be two Atkinson Selectmen and their new Town Administrator. <I>Throw in another guy, our surprise attendee, an activist Atkinson taxpayer we will call, <B>“Mark”.</B> Mark spotted a posting of a non-public meeting at the AG’s office and <B>called me as well.</B></I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-61201704032271948322009-02-05T20:50:00.000-05:002009-02-05T20:50:00.000-05:00I DO agree with CNHT's Pledge, although for attrib...I DO agree with CNHT's Pledge, although for attribution purposes, I believe it was first stated by former Gov. Meldrim Thompson.<BR/><BR/>Once you open the door to broad based taxes, like income or sales, we become Mass.<BR/><BR/>Mass. started out with a 1% tax too, now look at them, Sales, excise, income school tax, and property taxes in N. Andover and many other border towns are higher than in Atkinson, ON TOP of those other taxes.<BR/><BR/>Once you let the genie out, there is no getting him back in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-29151525042177714222009-02-05T20:44:00.000-05:002009-02-05T20:44:00.000-05:00Excuse me, to poster @ 6:14,I represented myself, ...Excuse me, to poster @ 6:14,<BR/><BR/>I represented myself, in my ethics case against the chief, as I am doing now.

If not, do that before commenting again. Read the Pike case also. If you did read it, do you think Mark made all this up? Do you think what happened to Mark is part of a CNHT conspiracy? Do you think what Mark has experienced is right?<BR/><BR/>Maybe Mark can clarify this. We all know Leon and Brownfield are associated with CNHT, and they have made no attempt to claim otherwise. So what? But, I've never heard of Mark's name associated with CNHT. He signed a petition. So did at least 49 other people. Are they in on the conspiracy also?<BR/><BR/>CNHT has figured prominently in this discussion because Leon brought them in. Again, so what?<BR/><BR/>This I will say. I do not agree with CNHT on their "Take the Pledge" view. I believe that view of things is depriving NH of a great deal of tax revenue now going to MASS. Also, their comments here have started to take the low road, and hurt their credibility in the process. You want to make a convincing augment, don't stoop to school boy techniques. I want what they want as far as town government goes, but I think they are doing it all wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-7591076145430721612009-02-05T20:14:00.000-05:002009-02-05T20:14:00.000-05:00Throw them all in jail........I dare anyone to typ...Throw them all in jail........<BR/><BR/>I dare anyone to type police fraud on timesheets in to google.... Many town works have been fired; have had jail time and mostly just restitution <BR/><BR/>Its a misdemeanor / theft and punishable by the law....It starts with the LT then to chief and finally the board of selectmen.<BR/><BR/>It is fraud against the taxpayers of Atkinson.<BR/><BR/>Look at Methuen MA their police chief did the same thing (just larger scale) does he have a job?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
