Hello,

My name is John Cawthron.
lam a resident of Nashua and Lam concerned with the recent mask mandate that was supported by Mayor Donchess
and passed by the Board of Alderman.

The science concerning the wearing of masks to prevent the spread of disease shows that the wearing of masks is
ineffective at best and harmful to the wearer at worst.

95% of the masks being worn, DO NOT prevent a person from spreading or being infected from anything except possibly
pollen and dust..

They may provide some mitigation against an infected person spreading COVID but, that mitigation goes away after 4
hours or so because the moisture from your own breath makes the masks moist.

Once a mask is moist or wet, it provides NO mitigation at all.

Medical grade masks that actually might do something are meant to be worn once and then disposed of.

People are wearing their masks over and over instead of disposing of them.

Mask wearers are essentially walking around with an incubation module on your their face, making things worse, not
better, for themselves and those around them.

Please take the time to review the information found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQo/7bV2hzBY.
The entire video is relevant, but the mask portion begins at 5:40 and quotes the studies done on wearing masks to
prevent the spread of disease.

if someone chooses to wear a mask, that is their choice.
Forcing everyone to wear a mask, in essence just to make other people feel comfortable, is an affront to all that is
American.

in my opinion times like these call for leadership.

The very definition of leadership is a person doing what they know to be right, even when the madding crowd is pushing
everyone in the other direction. .

The madding crowd is telling you all to throw away the thought of personal liberty in favor of mass compliance that
essentially has no useful purpose.

| urge you to all to consider rescinding this infringement on our personal liberties, for the simple fact that the science
does not back up this mandate.

Respectfully,
John Cawthron

Dear Members of the Board,

Subject: A request for a cut to the city budget

CAUTION: This email came from outside of the organization. Do not click links/open attachments if source is
unknown,

I called into the public hearing on the city budget and asked about the Arlington Street Community

Center, which I was told had a cost of $82,900 for a director. Earlier in the meeting, the Mayor assured me that
necessary cuts had been made to the budget. However, the very next day, the Arlington Street Community
Center announced that they will be closed for the summer and all their activities will be virtual.

The kids of Nashua have all the online programming they will ever need. They don't need virtual programming
from a closed community center. With the uncertainty of businesses and homeowners being able to pay their
property taxes and a potentially serious shortfall hanging over our heads, a staff member for a closed
community center is exactly what needs to be cut from the budget. Please cut it. We can't afford it.

Dear Board of Aldermen,

Hello, my name is Luke Guertler, and | ama concerned citizen of the 7 ward here in Nashua, NH. |
am emailing you to speak about a few issues that i would like to see brought up at the coming
meeting on June 9", 2020.

Body Cameras fer Nashua Police: Accountability far our police department should be at the
forefront of our priorities. Upon speaking with one of our police commissioners, Matt
Plante, | was encouraged to learn that the City of Nashua has a longstanding record of good
policing, or rather good servanthcod. And while that is the case, the implementation of
body cameras would make our officers’ actions a part of the public record. And by doing so
would help eliminate the us vs. them mentality that only ever produces unnecessary conflict
resulting in the harm of an officer or citizen.

Evidence Based De-Escalation Training for Nashua Police: In my conversation with
Commissioner Plante, he stated that Nashua has a rigorous training process that takes only
one to two percent of its applicants. He also mentioned how our department is CALEA
certified which is a step in the right direction. Upon perusing the NPD website however |
could not find any details about the de-escalation training itself. Having that as a resource
on the NPD website would also allow for the public to be brought in on the conversation,
and add to the necessary idea of accountability.

Changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day: Nashua is a beautiful city full of
amazing culture, however many cultures existed long before the settlement of our
forefathers. The Pennacook, Wabanaki and Abenaki people were in Nashua proper long
before us, and their history along with their culture has long been forgotten. Changing the
title of Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day would help foster a new approach to how
we look at history; allowing us to learn from our mistakes versus justify them.

Divesting from Banks that Fund the Dakota Pipeline along with Private Prisons and
Detention Centers: Efforts like that of the Dakota Pipeline are wreaking havoc on not only
our country, but the planet as a whole. Along with this, public prisons and detention centers
are responsible for a large number of products that we Americans consume. The problem
with prison labor is that it is fueled by a harsh sentencing standard, especially towards
people of color. And until we can change how we sentence our citizens ona state and
federal level, we must take it upon ourselves to find other ways to put a halt to this
exploitation of the Earth and its citizens. | propose that the City of Nashua take steps in the
right direction by divesting their interests from banks that directly fund these seedy
dealings.

| look forward to seeing these issues discussed at the oncoming Board of Aldermen meetings. |
would also like to thank my representative June Caron for taking the time to walk me through your
process and showing me how | can contribute as a citizen to this great city.

With Love, Luke Guertler

Comments i want @ property tax reduction since so many of the services

and buildings my tax dollars pay for haven't been able to be
used for one forth of the year and counting. This overreaction
and overreach by elected officials whom have not suffered at
all financially, while they have crushed us, is wrong! The
reductions is the minimum that should be offered.

Dear Mayor and Alderman:

| am a board member of the Corpus Christi Food Pantry & Assistance, a Nashua-based charity
which provides food and money assistance to the needy in Nashua. We service our client with
food and dollars for medical, rent, utilities etc.

The paniry/assistance has partnered with the River Casino & Sports Bar for 12 years and has
realized $120,768 from the partnership. We recently were on the River’s gaming calendar for 5
days in March until the River was forced to close due to the pandemic, and we raised $11,911.
We are anxious for the River to reopen so we can resume our remaining 5 gaming days for this
year.

| have learned recently that the City of Nashua was considering redeveloping the School Street
Parking lot into a large apartment building. | am writing to ask you not to go forward with this
development. The effects of loss convenient parking would devastate the River and other
businesses in the area and might very well cause the River business to fail. Charities such as
ours would lose essential funding and this would cause additional suffering for community
members we serve.

Thank you for your consideration
Yours sincerely
Robert Hesseltine

PS. Parking down Town is at a premium, why make it worse.
