Please forward to the appropriate people,

I want to voice my opposition to the newest mask requirement.

Enough already. If someone wants to wear a mask, fine. You cannot force the public to do so. This is harming
our business large and small.

Good Evening,

I am sending my opinion along about the bonds funding the Performing Arts Center.

Iam 100% against this project. This is a luxury you are voting for during a time when people are losing jobs
and their businesses, and are worrying about putting food on the table and paying for their housing.

A couple of months ago you were worried about "optics" when transferring funds of around $24,000 for
dancing downtown. $5.5 million is significantly worse "optically."

I can't believe that you are expecting people who are devastated financially to face tax increases for a
performing arts center. In this era of masks and social distancing, use of such a place would be minimized.

Ms. Lu, I am including you specifically as you are my ward alderwoman. I always enjoy reading the minutes of
the meetings as you are not afraid to ask questions. I don't often agree with your votes, but I respect your
attempts to be informed. I know I have missed the deadline for submission of opinions, and so it is likely the
Board will choose to ignore my opinion. Another disenfranchised voter.

I will read the minutes of the September 29 meeting with interest. 1 am hoping that you halt this project at least
until the end of the pandemic. It is the fiscally responsible thing to do, and shows respect for the citizens of
Nashua who are facing hard times.

I hope you do not choose "bad optics," but I am pessimistic that you will show respect to those who are
currently suffering.

And everyone said this could never happen here in the gocd ole USA....

Go to 5:25 of the video if you want to see the worst of it...

Well it's happening and MASKS still do nothing to stop a virus...NOTHING.....but sending the police to arrest people for
not wearing a mask, when looters and rioters go free, certainly does something to the fabric of society.

In hind sight, it's a good thing thing that the convicted criminals were released from prison due COVID, to make way for
these really dangerous non mask wearers...

Citizens get arrested for being in public, criminals go free...It took 36 years langer than he thought but, this is George
Orwell's, 1984 come to, life.

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Wear a mask. It will protect you and save the world, even
though it doesn't do either"

Nice job to those of you who supported enacting a MASK mandate...

To all of you that BID NOT support the MASK mandate, thank you for standing up to the madding crowd, mob, that is
doing their utmost to ruin our country.

Respectfully,

September 28, 2020
To the Nashua Board of Aldermen and the Board of Directors of the NHRA,

Attached is a copy of the blank petition that was signed by 28 families of the Bronstein apartments related to
the School Street Flats proposed project and the Bronstein apartments. It is a request that, if School Street
Flats is built, any family from Bronstein that wants to would be able to move to and stay at School Street Flats
as long as they wished. It will mean coordination of the construction of School Street Flats and the demolition
of the Bronstein apartments such that Bronstein residents who wish to will be able to move there directly
from their Bronstein homes.

Thank you for your consideration of the petition from the families of Bronstein. We think the residents of
Bronstein, if the complex gets demolished and they have to move, should be given as many options as possible
to stay in their own neighborhood. Moreover, we think the city is in an ideal position to help the Bronstein
residents and to help our community-wide goal to create more affordable housing for all, and especially for
those of low incomes.

Sincerely,

Bob Keating

Dear Mayor Donchess, Board of Aldermen, and Board of Directors of NHRA,

We, the residents of Bronstein, are asking the Board of Directors of the Nashua Housing and
Redevelopment Authority and our elected officials to make every effort to enable each family
who wants to remain in our neighborhood to be able to do so. This will allow our children to
attend their same schools, which is very important. It will allow us to maintain our
relationships with friends as much as possible. We will be able to more easily work, go to our
doctors, use other services, and shop at the stores we use.

It is a difficult thing to move, especially when you did not choose to do so. We hope you will
keep this in mind as you think about the demolition of Bronstein, which means we lose our
homes.

One very strong request we have is about the School Street parking lot. We know it is owned
by the city. We know the city is thinking about selling it to a builder. We understand they are
talking about building about 150 apartments. We know that the city is talking about paying
$2.5 million to make up for some of the parking spaces taken to build these apartments. We
also know the plan doesn’t have any apartments that will be low cost enough for probably any
of the Bronstein families. We don’t think that is a good idea. We think these new apartments
should be built so that anybody from Bronstein can move there if they want ta. It would mean
at least part of this new development should be built first to fit the families who want to move
before our homes are destroyed. We think that is only fair. We are already having to move. It
would be easier for us to not have ta move so far and to keep much of our lives the same.

We would like to meet with both the Board of Nashua Housing and Redevelopment Authority,
the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen as soon as possible. We ask that no decision be made
about School Street Flats before we meet.

Thank you,
The Tenants of Bronstein

Subject: The Public Hearing is for the public, not for aldermanic comments and questions.

Alderman Dowd:
The Agenda for the Public Hearing does not call for comments and questions from aldermen.

The Public Hearing requires an explanation of the subject by city staff or anyone knowledgeable
on the subject, followed by comment and questions, if any, from the public.

I don't know when the aldermanic comments during the Public hearings crept into the agenda,
but this must stop. Plenty of time for the aldermen to comment and ask questions during their
aldermanic meetings

As chairman, you should hold aldermen comments and questions until the aldermanic committee
and board meetings where the legislation is debated.

Subject: Right to Know/Records Management Position
Dear Mayor Donchess:

Adopted Resolution R-20-064 authorizes $100,000 for a new position, that of Records
Management for Right-to-Know requests. It is not clear whether this funds the position only for
the remainder of the year (9 months) and that continued funding is expected in future years.

Tseriously doubt that tens of thousands of documents have been requested related to the property
assessment of the city. Even if true, most documents were requested by Laurie Ortolano, and
like all such matters her quest for documents will soon expire.

I therefore urge you spent this $100,000 on a contracted/outsourced position, as opposed to a
new employee (implied by the $27,200 fringe benefits) so that the pesttion can be abandoned at
will without vested rights.

Subject: Your participation is disruptive and not useful

Alderman Lue:

IT have seen you in aldermanic meetings several times, and frankly, your comments and questions
are painful to watch.

You are constantly confused, you are unable to vocalize a question without getting lost in what
you're asking. Your comments are next to impossible to comprehend, jumping from one
incomplete thought to the next. You have little understanding of parliamentary procedure. In
short, your participation is disruptive and not useful.

It would really help if you were better prepared before coming to your meetings. For example,
have you studied the ordinances and resolutions and supporting documents on the

Agenda? Have you studied Mason's Rules of Procedure? Have you read the relevant city
charter and NROs and state RSAs? Have you discussed with city staff the financial and other
details that may not be evident to you, before the meeting?

Being an alderman is no easy task, especially since there is no training. But eventually most
newly elected aldermen catch on, some quicker than others,

I urge you study the material on the Agenda before coming to your meetings. As a general
rule, if you are prepared and can positively contribute speak up. Otherwise, just be
siient, jisten carefully, and follow other aldermen you trust when voting yes or no.
