CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled Thursday that it will not delay suspended Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams’ return to office while the state appeals a lower court ruling that could put him back on the job.
In its order, the Supreme Court denied a request for a stay that would have kept Reams out of office until the appeal from Attorney General Joseph Foster can be argued.
A Superior Court judge ruled April 10 against Foster’s bid to keep Reams out of office until the court hears a petition for permanent removal. The judge postponed the effective date of his order until early next month to allow Foster to seek a stay from the Supreme Court.
Reams may be able to return to office as early as mid-May. Meanwhile, the attorney general’s office is pursuing its petition to permanently remove Reams.
A call to Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young after hours Thursday was not immediately returned.
Reams and his lawyer, Michael Ramsdell, have denied the allegations that he used lewd language, inappropriately touched women staffers and retaliated against women who became pregnant.
They also say there’s no merit to charges that he mishandled office funds. Reams has challenged the legality of his suspension from the outset on that grounds that Foster does not have the power to suspend Reams without criminal charges being filed, as was the case the only other time a county attorney was suspended from office decades ago.
The Supreme Court also denied Foster’s request for an expedited hearing.
Reams has said he won’t run for re-election to the office he was first elected to in 1998. His term expires in January.
The superior court trial on the removal petition is scheduled to begin Aug. 4.

Reams can move to Atkinson. Atkinson does love its sexual harassers. We even elect selectman who enjoy it. How juicy is that! Reams would just love our town and feal the warm glow of approval for crimes against women. Atkinson women also let it continue now and show approve by remaining silent. Right, Noriko? Even the pretty lady sitting next to our home grown pervert Monday nights on TV ,,,,shows by her presence it is just no problem for her. Otherwise she would take a dixie. What am i to conclude from watching a woman tolerate a pervert ,,, and on TV. Every Monday night??????????
I conclude that the men are the number one problem for being the perverts here, and they are the number two problem for being in the position to do something about but didn't.
Past selectmen, the AG, the police officers who did nothing were all men.
Some may think the biggest problem is the an unaffected person sitting next to him one night a week. I would quit rather than to deal with him on any level but that in itself doesn't solve the problem now does it?
Here we are go again .With a person that does not live up to his oath of office. what is wrong with this picture? What is wrong with this Town? Will we never be free of this corruption. I fear not because they are entrenched from the top down.
Read 4/23@6:57a.m. under the prior one to this new site news. It seems to say a lot and protects others from the same treatment they have had done to them.
6:57 and 6:18 above are the same lazy fool always telling others to do what he wants done. Go learn to write a proper sentence, no one understands you. No wonder they take down your gibberish.
6:18 - grow some and stand up or shut up.
I haven't read or heard a word stating thay the victim disclosed anything about the settlement, but clearly Consentino has discussed it in some detail in the newspaper. This in itself is undeniable proof that HE violated the agreement even if we never find out how it was actually leaked. I beleive this is cause for legal action by the victim and I hope she persues it.
She's in the bathroom and I can hear her meowing. It's breaking my heart. Please does anyone have anything like experience with this? I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong spot or if I am not doing this right but I'm desperate.
While I am appalled by Phils conduct and abuse of his authority for years sexually harrassing women in addition to all of his bullying antics. I Also have no respect for the Officers who saw it, knew it was going on AND SAID NOTHING!
You were SUPPOSED to be officers of the LAW! That DOES NOT EXClUDE YOUR BOSS. Cowards ALL.
There's a trend of abuse toward womenn. Being an Officer in this Town demands that they play the game. See no evil and collect the check.
It was reported Atkinson was lucky to have another officer who sent nasty little letters to Atkinson women he thought owed him favors. Wonder who he learned from down at the little brick sex den.
Do tell.
Now is the time to air the dirty laundry and be done with it and those involved.
The reinstated County Attorney will have the AG on site according to local news radio. He gets to keep his job yet the State will be baby sitting him, employees will have to deal with him.
I agree. I'm going to use that delete key.
The Committee To Protect Atkinson Selectmen (CPAS) announced in the Eagle Tribune today the commission of a statue honoring notable Atkinson selectmen is nearing completion. To be placed in front of Atkinson Town Hall, the statue will protest against the intolerance recently shown beloved selectman. The statue, being sculpted at the Atkinson Police Station by a noted New Jersey artisan, is nearly complete, according to a spokesman for the Lions Club.
“We’re really coming along fast,” said officer Smack, who claims to have raised more than $20,000 for the project through a special Elderly Affairs fund raising scheme from the station.
The nearly complete statue of the Baphomet, or Sabbatic Goat, is a magnificent figure that has been used to represent Satan for centuries. It is made of bronze, poured over a clay mold. Images provided to The Eagle Tribune show the beloved figure on a throne, with smiling and willing and "well developed" women at each knee.
One group of critics has stepped forward with the complaint, “We don’t think CPAS should place ANY religious sexual artifact on Atkinson Town Property. Especially as the Prince of Darkness deserves a more noble comparison.”

I am not going to pay for the new on-line subscription because your newspaper doesn't do a good job of covering Atkinson and it's woes.
I think the readership will drop even lower if we have to pay for it. Isn't that what advertising is supposed to cover?
Ed Naile
The Eagle Tribune?
I was in Atkinson, as was the Lawrence Eagle Tribune reporter when several people tried to intimidate our photographer, Gary Brownfield - with me sitting there.
They tried again outside.
The moderator violated our photographers rights by not allowing him to simply take photos - as the Lawrence Eagle Tribune did.
I mentioned this to the LET reporter sitting in front of me in the visitor section. No story reflecting what happened.
Has this paper or reporter ever done any legitimate writing about the thug or his victims?
The story of Atkinson does not play out only in this blog.
I write about Atkinson in so many blogs and talk radio programs that Atkinson news gets 2,000 hits per day.
Other papers in NH monitor these blogs to get facts and ideas for news - because CNHT is on the ground and involved.
You don't need the Lawrence Eagle Tribune, sympathetic liberal judges, weak Atkinson officials, and a non-exisatnt Attorney General - unless you are a thug and a pervert like Phil Consentino.
Ignore that paper. They deserve no less.
It the only paper for local news. You don't see much of anything about the towns in this area in the NH newspapers either.
Wow, not very nice. You sound like a lowlife hater yourself and I resent the fact that Atkinsonians berate each other on this blog site. Naile may be a little rough around the edges but he backed up those residents who were denied the most basic rights of freedom we have in our country. They were RIGHT in their fight.
11:49 AM , Ditto!!, I agree with you fully. If it weren't for him ,Leon, Mark Acciard, and others being concerned with what goes on in this Atkinson soap opera from the past to now and with its failing of most governing officials we'd know nothing and not having any where to respond to after any exposure of wrong fullness .
Leon did a wonderful job working for the Budcom last season, not that it got approved once the townies got ahold of it on d-floor....
What BS, you haters --- The photographer (Brownfield) wanted Polito's picture for what - to deface in his little buddies blog as the Factor did when they pictured PC as a Nazi--- You haters will do anything to destroy the man --- Yeah he had the right but a scumbag move to say the least ---and whether you like it or not the vast majority of my fellow taxpayers can't stand you haters either...you people are delusional..Peace, Naileheads
JMHO
Looked at the video on here again of the guy screaming at Brownfield taking pics. thAt moderator took away The guys rights againt the law, could be best thing happened here a long time the moderator what's his name? was thrown out and gone.
No body in town hall is above the law. But think so til thrown out. Gone by by!!!
Hey Mark, why don't you and Phil just bury the hatchet, so to speak.
Peace, my brothers
After Phil goes away to the big house. For his crimes.
Isn't it funny how soon the joy of winning an election turns to discomfort?
One day you're voting into office a pervert who abuses taxpayers and women for his own personal pleasure and a few short weeks later that same thug is trapped behind the desk he so longed for.
Shakespeare couldn't have dreamed up such a tragedy - for Consentino lovers that is.
The problem with being a public official in NH is that you are subject to criticizm 24/7.
Now if the bald-headed pervert had simply faded into the dark Atkinson could heal itself like many other small towns have managed to do after being infected with a thug who would not leave on his own.
Thank you Atkinson brown-noser voters for the free, dependable fodder for blogs and podcasts.
Now face away from the selectman's desk while you know who has the last laugh.
No one said democracy was pretty.
Ed Naile
CNHT
Well said Ed.
to 8:54 - get a grip. Now you evidently have a list of haters and you are assuming why one of them representing a NH news source, wanted a photo of the actual person running the meeting. Then you assume Polito was a target of a malicious scheme to take his photo and do something with it. Well CNHT got a few photos but what did they do with them? Nothing. So accusing a petson of evil intent created in your mind, that never happened, is a stupid blog posting and defamation.
To the guy talking about lowlife haters . Uh, your kinda getting your bum kicked on here. Go upscale. Blog for Putin in Russia. He likes guys like you. Makes guys like you billionaires.
Would you bury the hatchet if someone carved up your vehicle? PC supporters went too far, they made political differences personal.
"bald-headed pervert"
"Atkinson brown-noser voters"
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie -- your really a class act--- look in the mirror ---
Yes, Democracy is alive and well here in Atkinson --- we turn out and vote --- and you insult us
"brownnosers" because the majority voted for the man...
For the most part these "Public Officals are just people like you and me, with jobs, families and essentially volunteer their time and efforts to give back a little to the community.
This town ain't "broke" ---never has been -- most of us love it here... and I dislike bullybloggers that just make up stuff...
Come on Ed, lets help Scott get elected up here -- this townie vendetta stuff is getting as old and tired as people that perpetuate it
I don't think he would have won if people knew this terrible information beforehand. It had to come out IMHO.
People who voted didn't have their heads in the sand --
There is so much more to this than what is portrayed here by those few that are out to destroy the man and make a few suebucks in the process....
He been a Bully for years! Now he is a pervert and for sure if more people were informed of his last stunt he would not have been elected. PERIOD!
A few years back CNHT was asked to come to Atkinson and help out with a problem thug who was posing as a police chief.
We have done this before.
So today the score is:
Known thug is now a KNOWN pervert, FORMER police chief/masterbator, abuser of women, and creep.
And to top it off, the banty rooster who posed as a town moderator is no longer in that position.
Judge "Protect a Creep" Lewis is "retired" due to his own big mouth. So there goes another problem child.
Let's keep going and see what happens next.

Give back to the community? No, that's not what is going on. More TAKE from the community by getting friends on the town payroll at high salaries. Moving around funds to favor other contractors and the police. Shoveling extra cash. Showering the home owners with taxes to pay for too many new vehicles. The vehicles represent power to them so look for future extravegances. And they have no problems paying for it all. John Q. Taxpayer is figuring out the town is on a spending spree and totally out of control under the police dominated Atkinson Board of Selectmen. These thugs are not benefiting our town. They put on an hour show for the public Monday a Nights, then illegally close the doors, and start illegal meetings and keep you from knowing about everything it is your right to know about. Watch them on TV. Ask yourself some tough questions. I did. Ask yourself how repression and fascism get a foothold.
Don't you WISH they were only just fools. It is more sinister than that BY FAR.. If you watched the Atkinson Mafia operate to control, stifle, and pillage this town, you understand why even sexual harassment of a town employee is no big deal and to be forgiven and promptly forgot. Just bury the hatchet and forget the crime. No reason not to be running the town on TV every Monday night proud and defiant.
The Atkinson Mafia think they are so entrenched and coordinated they can do pretty much anything and the a$$ raped taxpayer will remain...a silent weakling.
Just who is in this "Atkinson Mafia" you speak about-- you people a little scary, probably to those who know you best -- Get out and meet some of your good neighbors -- Plant some tomatos -- Take a deep breath --exhale the hate, smell the roses--remember, we,ve got a limited time on earth, don't waste it on posting vile on the Atkinson Distorter 2..
And Eddie, King of Yellow journalism in NH --- have a nice day
You are being a hypocrit, you realize that. I too don't care for the polarized culture in town but it exists.
I completely agree. Here in the sleepy town of Atkinson, we should smell, plant, and love and forgive our sexual preditors...be ruled by them as town officials. Don't rise up in anger. Forget about it. Be a willing victim. Enjoy being masturbated on by an Italian. Smell the roses. Have a nice day.
"I completely agree"
Finally!!!
"Here in the sleepy town of Atkinson, we should smell, plant, and love and forgive our sexual preditors..."
Of course not --- But I guess you're convinced he's a sexual predator, I'm not...
"Don't rise up in anger. Forget about it. Be a willing victim"
I honestly don't feel victimized
"Enjoy being masturbated on by an Italian"
OK but my wife is Irish.
"Smell the roses. Have a nice day"
I will when they bloom -- thanks, likewise
This is the same problem Catholics encountered when the priest sex abuse scandal was first uncovered. Widespread disbelief. It took a very long time for some people to accept the fact that those they revered could be guilty.
I am not convinced he is a predator but there are enough facts to support the idea that something went terribly wrong and it resulted in his firing without a fight and a large settlement.
To wait to be convinced and provided with concrete evidence is disturbing to me. We often don't get the hard facts but you have to draw a line in the sand and say that we have enough information to draw a conclusion.
Better to err on the side of caution than to let one get away with this.
Maybe you don't feel victimized, and that's good, but another person does and we should respect that and be supportive of her.
Sir are you living on Medication Lane. If so then your the one who should move and please move out of town. Would you allow your daughter or son to have sexual advances on them at any work place excluding the asking of a date properly given?If you do then you are a sick puppy. Get help soon !
Franks wife left him.
Watch some videos of Mondays meeting. Some never got aired on the cable channel. Phil is so out of control his anger and short fuse has no business running this town. Throwing people in the room the FINGER, screaming like a bully when he thinks someone is bulling him, pouting like a baby, at least it is better that throwing spitballs at people he didn't like at the deliberative session a year or so ago. Small potatoes though when you come to a sexual harasser status. I am afraid that the next step up in his assault on the town just might get somebody hurt. "When does it end?"
Leon is on the front line and doing a GREAT job...KEEP IT UP, PLEASE.
Was the Eagle Tribune in the room when he threw someone the finger and bullying?
If they weren't there, why weren't they covering the meetings when there is such a known problem in Town. If they were there, why is this not on video and reported to the public?
Only respond if you saw this behavior personally or know if the ET was there.
The only reason the ET would be there is to cover his a** as they have done so many times. I was not there but have seen the video taken from someone present.I'll be happy to share them with you.
Thanks. Is there a link or is it on dvd?
Was the ET there? I want to know if they are showing up, after all they are asking us to spend money on getting access to their site now and I want some facts about how and if they are showing up at these meetings. There's been so much bad publicity over one person that that SHOULD be focusing on this every week if they want us to pay them.
This question is to get the facts on the situation and to put them on notice, they come on this site.
OMG I just saw a video of out Atkinson chief masturbator snapping his fingers and shouting as he throws people out of a selectmans meeting. I saw it on NHINSIDER.COM. Ed Naile wrote an article with the video that embarrashes the "good" citizens of Atkinson who voted for the wanker.
I know the ET was covering for him when the paper was privately owned but they were sold to a national media company. I saw in the paper that one reporter is named Muldoon and we all know what a reputation Freda has for Chief love (yuck). Are they related?

Atkinson's Phil Consentino - BIG "Winner"
THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2014 AT 08:58AM
Here is what a “winner” looks like.
The video posted below is of the recent Atkinson Selectman’s Meeting of May 12. The bald-headed guy on the left is the former police chief, Phil Consentino, who, after getting caught indulging himself in perverted acts in front of, behind, and around, the poor woman working in the police dispatch position he had to relinquish his police chief job.
The Town relinquished about $100,000.00 and did not prosecute the pervert.
The “good” citizens of Atkinson then elected the pervert to a selectman’s position and now the victorious predator is trapped in his swiveling masterabator chair (Selectmen deal with abatements – the former police chief dealt in masturbation – that is the subtle difference so far. Its all in the complaint.)
The Atkinson Selectmen in this video are trying to go into a non-public session which may revolve around one of the many lawsuits involving the pervert. So the public members in attendance are naturally interested in knowing WHY the selectmen are going into a non-public session, as it is illegal to do so if a selectmen is the subject of the discussion.
How can you have a lawsuit in Atkinson without the pervert being involved?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1nd2b19movwz5oa/CUT1%20SelectmensMeeting5122014Cut1Consention%20SNAPS%20questions%20of%20his%20authority.wmv
Watch the pervert jump to his feet and try and bully the public.
This is what happens to a town that lets bullies into office. This is an example of what police bullies do when they know they are protected by the NH AG’s office.
And this is how municipal bullies operate when they are assured the courts will let them off the hook if they are sued or challenged.
Phil Consentino is a loser.
And the Town of Atkinson is a big loser.
Holy crap. I'm ashamed to live here. When will it end with a letter of resignation. Then the town could heal itself. Baldwin too because he protects and serves the pervert.
I am asking right here and now for Baldwin and Morse to ask for his resignation, in public. If there is another lawsuit involving a selectman, possibly over his talking about his settlement in the news, then it must be discussed in public. If it is, it will be easy for the other two to ask him to step down. Take a vote and do it right.
This must happen, we cannot tolerate this man. There is no recall of an elected official in NH so the voters cannot do anything here.
And don't say we elected him, he withheld critical information about his ability to serve and about his character. He needs to go.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1nd2b19movwz5oa/CUT1%20SelectmensMeeting5122014Cut1Consention%20SNAPS%20questions%20of%20his%20authority.wmv
His snapping his fingers and whistling while ordering people out of the room is very disrespectful, ignorant, bullying behavior.
The Town needs to move on and shun this man.
He shouldn't have keys to the office either, it's not for his use, he has no desk in there.
Harold, what are you thinking?
The whole Town of Atkinson is being
held hostage by a BOS that refuses to show some integrity and do the job they were elected to do. When all means available to the voters is exhausted, and there is no one to turn to for this terrible thing that is happening to this Town, the BOS is a complete failure. How can they ever be proud of the job they are doing and what they are doing to a
once proud community.
The Town got what the Town voted for and shame on those who didn't bother to vote or to pay attention to the circus that has been in Town for decades.
Keep up the good work by going to the meetings and making the videos and posting them. Thank God for a few brave people.
Maybe one of our State Reps can write up a recall bill and submit it for a vote. There has got to be some kind of a change in NH to give us recourse with these criminal politicians and crooked cops.
Snapping the fingers at elderly people attending an Atkinson Selectman's Meeting. Very crude and disrespectful. Like all Atkinson citizens deserve no respect from his lordship and are his servants...and he can act or do with them as he pleases. It's a happy thing, the good taxpayers of our town pick up his legal bills.
Anyway. Where was I? Oh yeah I remember now. I am old. Too soon old, too late smart.
I saw on ACT TV the Monday video of his lordship getting steamed up but there was no audio. Just video. Anyway, his worship finally blows his top at somebody there and makes this weird finger gesture. He yells but you hear nothing.
The finger thing where the middle finger points out at the person but the other fingers all go straight up. Like a cat's tail when you throw water on it. What is that? Is that called giving a reverse finger? Or is it some kind of Italian thing like putting four fingers under your chin and flipping them out? Anybody know? I am old and only see these finger things when I get confused and slow up at a traffic circle.
Could be the reverse finger is how Kings or other royals point at inferiors? Now that makes sense. But his lordship really should take care where he points or puts his finger.
Long live the King's Finger!
Welcome Atkinson voters to the Phil Pervert Show!
The articles I write about your thug selectman get about 4,000 hits per day from all the various sources.
The NH newspapers follow these sites as well as elected officials.
The Big Winner sure has a short fuse!
And he such a WINNER!!
Thanks for electing him and giving our taxpayer group fresh Phil Phollies to Phollow.
Ed Naile
He clearly gave an angry finger to another human being. Low class trash. He is on camera doing this with the Town seal displayed right there and he is a disgrace to our Town.
The video of our snapping finger Selectman and Ed Naile's commentary on Atkinson antics was just picked up by the nation wide Republican news source:
americanpoliticalblogs.com
It would be beneficial to the reputation of Atkinson if the Selectmen representing us showed more restraint and respect to the people attending Selectmen's meetings.
Watching the video and see the bald man say the the other guy is doing a good job but is a bit slow. Slow? What the?? So the bald head guy in the T-shirt is fast?
No suit or tie? Who are these guys?!!!

If you are a failing or failed Atkinson Selectman or Town Moderator or Administer, and you find yourself irritable with taxpayers, critics or unwilling subordinates, you may well have a problem with anger management Explosive outbursts, yelling, screaming, behaving unprofessionally or disruptively can compromise standards of professional behavior in the town of Atkinson. Anger can increase risk for heart attack and may lead to your Selectman needing a million dollar legal line. Condescension, verbal aggression, criticism, contempt, and sarcasm can be subtler forms of anger that will also damage relationships with taxpayers. We have reviews videos of Atkinson Selectman meetings and Deliberative Sessons and we are anxious to begin work with your troubled town officials.
Take this quick true/false ANGER quiz:
I am often irritable and cranky when challenged as a Selectman or Town Moderator
I am on guard to keep others from taking advantage of me or taking my picture
I have angry outbursts and seek to humiliate anyone brave enough to challenge my iron rule.
I can make degrading comments or insult people for asking questions about my sex life at Candidates night or at Deliberative Session
I often feel unfairly treated or disrespected by my female subordinates
I think a lot about how to retaliate against the haters when I am criticized for not wanting my picture taken as Town Moderator or I am asked to hand over my gavel, stand down and resign.
People avoid me at work or at home when I need sex
Sometimes I have been so angry I have wanted to hit someone, or have actually hit someone or carved up their car or spread red paint on the siding of their home.
I feel like I am always fighting with my partner, family members, or the dispatcher at work. I feel victimized and angry when my needs are ignored
When someone cuts me off in traffic, I am enraged and throw them the finger. I throw them the finger at Atkinson haters when they dare to challenge me
People in my life sometimes seem afraid of me but I keep them suppressed and under control.
If you answered true to three or more statements and you are a failing or failed Atkinson Selectman, Town Moderator or Town Administrator , you may benefit from learning to manage your anger. If your anger or violence is directed only at a pretty Atkinson Police dispatcher for achieving 100,000.00 in suebucks, this may be a sign of an abusive relationship. Our suggested retail price to treat the anger in Atkinson Town Hall may approach the million dollar mark. Let us suggest you begin moving money around from other budgetary lines to pay us a $100,000.00 downpayment as soon as possible. The Town of Atkinson deserves anger free Town Officials.
Did you see Consentino all aflutter over the new APD officer in training? He called her, the Town Admin and the Town Clerk by their first names. How intimate. Could she have been any more uncomfortable during Monday nights BOS (minus Baldwin) meeting? Quit while you can don't take the job Page Booth.
The liberal MSNBE anchor Rachel Maddow is looking at doing a segment on Atkinson scandals. After reviewing content she commented, "I have never seen such trash and don't understand how there can be local supporters of this behavior, either professionally or actually."

ATKINSON NH (Reuters) - ATKINSON lawmakers on Monday approved legalizing medical marijuana for a limited number of elderly citizens suffering from severe delusions.
Atkinson Selectmen voted 2-0 to approve the measure with bipartisan support from the Lions Club and send it to County Attorney Reams for his approval and enforcement. Reams has said he will enforce it as Atkinson law.
More than 20 U.S. Towns have approved medical marijuana and cannabis programs, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Opponents of the new Selectman's law for Atkinson said they were concerned it could lead to wider use of marijuana among elderly voters who already made a mistake and elected a sex freedom advocate to the Board of Selectmen.
The Atkinson Selectmen counterred that growing marihuana under the Community Center is particularly beneficial to children, as a first step toward wider use behind Kimbal Library, the Police Station and outside in the lot at Deliberative Session. "It's a sample of our innovative leadership and the least we can do to promote voter non-participation."
"This is not about moving down the path to getting control over docile drugged up elderly contributors. They give us money for our new donation accouns stone sober," said an anonymous Atkinson Selectman. "This is more about getting something into the hands of our whackjob critics who now lack it. We have no other available options that are any good at. How it works is once we get them high on drugs and eatin pizza they won't care what we do, pants on OR off."
"now the victorious predator is trapped in his swiveling masterabator chair (Selectmen deal with abatements – the former police chief dealt in masturbation – that is the subtle difference so far. Its all in the complaint.)"
Masterabator chair. Can't figure that one out. Masterbate abatements? The guy abates masters? These blog postings just confuse the hell out of me.
The bald man is fast but says the other selectman slow. Can't figure out what this has to do with swivel chairs. Atkinson is too confusing. My Danville blog don't get tricky dicky like this one.
Phil, Phil, Phil. I bet it felt good tossing out dose bad folks who DARE question you. You got elected by da people and dey dare question you??? Who da heck do they tink day are?
You did da right ting Phil. I stand behind yuse a millyun percent.

You still gots my vote Phil, use da best!
In early March, while Ms. O’Toole was dining with her husband at Nolan’s Brick Oven Bistro in Wolfeboro, she overheard Mr. Copeland speaking with another man. She said she had heard him refer to the president with a vulgarity and a racial slur.
She immediately sent a complaint to the town manager, who shared it with the Board of Selectmen. They discussed the incident in the nonpublic portion of their April 9 meeting. They later told Ms. O’Toole that while they found the language reprehensible, they had no power to remove the police commissioner, who is an elected official.
Ms. O’Toole also wrote to the three-member police commission. Mr. Copeland emailed a response to his fellow commissioners and forwarded a copy to her.
“I believe I did use the ‘N’ word in reference to the current occupant of the Whitehouse,” Mr. Copeland wrote. “For this, I do not apologize — he meets and exceeds my criteria for such.”
He told Ms. O’Toole that the other police commissioners had “accepted” his response.
Finally, Ms. O’Toole described the incident in a Facebook post and in a letter to the editor of The Granite State News, the local weekly paper. When the newspaper printed her letter, it also printed Mr. Copeland’s response to the commissioners. In an editorial, the newspaper wrote that elected officials like Mr. Copeland, “set the tone of our democracy,” adding, “We should insist that the tone set is serious, measured, considerate and, we hope, confidence-inspiring.”
Pressure began to build as the incident became national news. At a meeting on Thursday, angry residents demanded Mr. Copeland’s resignation. In a statement on Friday, David Owen, the town manager, called for Mr. Copeland to step down.
“We are hopeful that Mr. Copeland will accede to the public outcry and finally do the right thing and resign from his elected position to save the town any further embarrassment of his making,” Mr. Owen said. He told news media outlets that the Chamber of Commerce had received emails from people vowing to boycott local businesses and cancel summer vacations.
Mr. Copeland, who could not be reached for comment, tendered his letter of resignation Sunday evening. The letter said in full, “I resign,” with no expression of apology or regret.
If we could only get the Conman to do the same with the same kind of protesting complaints from the public received here in town. At least the Copeland public got its wish ,why not here is the question.
Because here he built 3 decades of support through the "good old boys" way of doing things. Happens all over the country, is it right NO it isn't. The newbies that moved into town over these years paid for all the goodies the townies wanted and now are opening these people are opening their eyes. Get Billy and Phil out of our town politics and we just might have a chance to heal and get on with actually caring about our "whole" community and not just the ones who had their butts wiped by Phil and past Board members.
The newbies in town should get together with the oldies in town who want them out of power once and for all. The fleecing of our wallets is due to the corruption by the other oldies now in power. It can and will stop the misuse of power if those above will join forces at election time to put them out of the towns positions they now hold.
Mr. Innes said told the Eagle Tribune and other news media outlets that the Town of Atkinson and Budget Committee had received emails from people vowing to boycott local businesses and cancel summer vacations to Atkinson. On Facebook, people targeted business including Bunting Auto Body, Kimbal Tree Service, Eggies and the Congregation Church which allowed a selectman thug to mount the church and turn a once sacred altar into a podium for a pervert.
well he's doing a fantastic job a selectman --- most in this town respect what he's done and loath the haters...in fact everyone I know can't stand the haters(everyone knows who they are) who contribute nothing, do nothing, and bring in creeps like Ed Naile to muck all over our town --Loser!
Oh my, what a hater you are.
I suppose it's ok for YOU to hate and loathe.
He's doing a lousy job when he's on camera (or off) throwing the finger at residents. He needs to leave.
No one in Town respects him anymore, it's impossible to have respect for a filthy old man who takes advantage of elders and women.
"everyone knows who they are"
"the haters"
Wow. I'll bet they are paying you salary. The culture in this Town is terrible and it is coming from Town Hall toward those you are supposed to be serving.
"everyone I know"
You need new friends.
The thing about sex perverts, abusers, preditors etc in Atkinson, New Hampshire. There are supporters who defend them. By approval and thereby advocation of crimes against women and the criminal who commits the crimes. Such people prove by example just how sick Atkinson is at its core. Who would want to move and live here?
The Atkinson New Hampshire Town Officials who approve or assent to it. Or consent to associate and thereby support such evil in the Town of Atkinson, New Hampshire. A good name for them is...
FAILED
"Wow. I'll bet they are paying you salary"
don't be silly --just who is "they"
"The culture in this Town is terrible and it is coming from Town Hall toward those you are supposed to be serving".
we all contribute to the "town culture", which is as diverse as the people that live here. This
blogs culture is to slander and destroy with tactics that most of us find repulsive...
"You need new friends"
won't find any around here
All the negativity in this blog/board sucks.
The difference between you and Ed Naile is he is an honorable man who attacks a known pervert.
And you are a dishonorable FAILED town official who supports a known pervert who terrorized an innocent girl at the police station for five years.
To 8:43 -
"They" are the haters you described in "(everyone knows who they are) ".
We DO all contribute to Town culture, but those in the Town Hall have allowed this man to get away with abuse of women. THEY in TH are ruining this Town by doing so.
YOUR negativity is the worst.
Republic of Atkinson (AP) — The Atkinson Republic is starting to smell.
Rotting garbage is piling up on the board of selectmen with each election. Telephones ringing with citizen complaints against a known pervert selectman get ripped from the walls and piled atop broken furniture and mounds of old files which were kept on citizens down at the Atkinson police station. The stench of sweat and stale breath is everywhere. The selectman, a slouching man with Viagra shoved in his pockets and skin flapping loosely, looks increasingly desperate as he desperately tries to regain control.
It's been only a few weeks since the police led Atkinson Republic Selectmen took over the building, a week since they declared that secret non-public meetings are exactly how they will rule the Republic of Atkinson.
But the authority of the Atkinson nation barely extends beyond a small building and a few heavily armed checkpoints on roads leading into the country, only a few miles from the border with the State of New Hampshire, United States of America.
As usual there is a group of people in Atkinson who are not pleased I have arrived with The Coalition of NH Taxpayers.
This was the case at a meeting between the NH AG's Div. of Charitable Trust and your selectmen a few years back but the person in charge at Char. Trust let the Atkinson Selectmen and Town Admin. know I was welcome at that meeting in Concord.
As that meeting shows as well as the past several years events in Atkinson, I am not so much a "loser" or trouble maker, or pot stirrer, as I am often called.
No, I am more like a Vampire.
Once I am invited in... well you know the story if you follow science fiction.
Oh, that's right!
This is Atkinson - a horror story if I ever saw one.
Much like the "Night Of The Living Dead" you have an evil spirit wandering around your Town Hall and cemetaries (Inside $600.00 joke).
Pending a steak through my heart there is little that can be done about this municipal vampire except ridding the town of evil spirits.
So if the brown noser crowd wants to see my tail lights - just rid Atkinson of the Evil One - and I am gone!
Ed Naile
Eddie the vampire coming to save us from the evil one...
and you folks actually follow this guy? Dudes not all there
if you know what I mean ...
probably drives a yellow car.
Consentino still has the private charity that he used to pay an employees bills. The problem in Atkinson exists because the State is doing nothing as well as the locals.
something wrong with yellow? ...besides who cares who comes in and tries to get rid of the corruption?
I don't care if it is a yellow or white horse. At least he is doing something about it by opening up more and more eyes to our situation.
Again thank you ED.
Maybe it is time to admit that a slim majority of Gimme Guys and Gals have, by kissing Consentino's pervert ass for free stuff, made the Town of Atkinson into a cartoon.
Not my doing by any means.
I just sit back and watch Consentino pull the switch into self-destruct mode.
The same pervert urges that cost him his beloved "Chief" position (did we forget that) will propel him into another scrape sooner or later.
How long has he beed abusing women in your cartoon village?
This didn't just start last year. The Pervert must have a long line of victims.
Its just sad that Atkinson has a few more low-life voters out for themselves than their town.
Ed Naile
Most voters are just stupid and a few are out for themselves. Look at our current federal and states administrations, it about the same as here I guess.
Pretty bad no matter how you look at it though. Sad.
hey its summer. are you enjoying the fireworks now that its after quiet time? how about the 2 am show this morning? gunshots or fireworks, what was that?
todays show was extended to 3am since its ssooo popular
Stop the fireworks and late night noise harrashment by the used car dealer thug on Meditation... Get a good video camera and start recording. Regular pictures and audio too. Soon you have a library of evidence and don't need Atkinson police or selectmorons who do not enforce the basic noise ordinance or basic state laws. It's like they have it out for and just let it go on and on. Just like the sex abuse with the dispatcher went on and on. Pictures do make judges happy. Lady Osborn pulls out her smartphone and quickly snaps your picture or records you. Works to intimidate the critics and with an audio recording resulted in a conviction by a judge.
But hey, you can always complain or write memos. You might get sympathy. That's all. But if you want results you start getting audio, video, and picture evidence of abuse.
They should also continue to report the problems. If they do nothing after you call in and you have pictures it's twice as bad for all of them.
This noise is really just a reminder to the town and police that they are powerless pathetic nits and that if they want to bother you day and night they will.
Get even! It's easy enough. Ifthey are up all night doing this wait until 10 am and get an old siren and crank her up!
I had a similar problem a while back in another life. I used to leave for work early and I would buy a few of those air horns for boats. I'd drive by their home and ( wearing ear protection) Tape the handle of the air horn down and heave it into their yard....It only took two! LOL
it wont stop. they know the police dont care so it will go on and on and on until he loses the place or gets arrested in another town or blows off his hands.
Dear Mr. Naile
would love to meet you when you fly into town to rid us of evil.
Buffy
The thing is, throw a taped horn on the harassers side of the road the town shoulder. The shoulder ain't his property. Throw a second one on the other side of the road. That's evil. Tape the handle real good with duct tape so the abuser has to go inside to cut it.
Yup. Two is better than one. Three louder than two.
Also. Nothin wrong with laying on your horn behind town hall too during a selectman meeting. You know. selectmen who allow noise and sex abuse in Atkinson and even commit it themselves when feeling frisky. When the they rush out lower the window 1/4 inch and yell, "I can't hear you, I'm enforcing the Atkinson noise ordinance".
Noise during a selectman's meeting is disturbing the peace. Midnight outdoor drug infested disco parties, fireworks and gun shots over homes on Meditation Lane is not disturbing the peace, it is only their friends living the good life. Move that party, fireworks, guns and drugs behind town hall...that's a problem? Don't think so.
Selectmen will just join the party. Get a little high. Breathe heavy into young girls hair and masturbate like down at the ole Atkinson police station.
But do us a favor. Don't do it. Don't give Ed Naile anything more to screw Atkinson with. People read about Atkinson sexual preditors and graft at Atkinson town hall and I can't sell my house and get the hell outta this corrupt lurid community.

Is this the car thug blogging about his own party? Sorry we missed it, sounds like it was a blast. When are you going to stop bothering everyone? Why don't you grow up?
I have been drinking....watermelon!
sound the alarm. its a all out rager all summer. come one come all. bring lawnmowers. hahaha classic
Is this the used car lot guy that lets his trucks stick so far out on to 125 that you can't see on coming tragic at Dunkin Donuts?
While it is the right to sell m/v's at a legal lot I do not see the sense of putting them so close to the road way. The town has the right to see to it that the m/v's are pulled back to allow visual safety for all for public roadway use. The town inspector must be very ,very , absolutely with out a doubt very busy not to visually see the safety hazard at this location.
Police ,sheriffs & state police seem to forget that they are supposed to enforce laws pertaining to their duties in regards to this visual problem. It would be a shame to have a potential customer get hurt or killed going into this lot or leaving it to get on the public way.
Just clocked Timberlane school bus #107 going 40 in a 30 in Atkinson, full of children.
Go get em !! Was the bus going down hill? Every one that drives picks up speed when going down hill including the officers of the law. Its why they don't set up radar or other speed traps in hilly places. Just asking if you ever go over the speed limit in any area any where? JMHO is all!!
Uphill from the dive shop on 121 to sawyer. Was your kid on the bus?
If you had said what you have now in your earlier saying I wouldn't have responded with what I wrote.
so what is the purpose in this response??
To tell you that you should be more in the way of explaining the where ,when , how, and why of what your complaining about. Of course that is jmho. No need for you to respond to this and again JMHO.
I promise that I'll do that as soon as you learn to write and stop bossing us around.
