ina post on Nashua Scoop last week, May 21, 2020 regarding the PA-71 filed by Cheryl Walley against Greg
Turgiss, Aiderwoman Schmidt posted a comment about the police warning given to me in September.
She wrote: “Would you like to explain why employees were accosted outside the building? Why some
were in tears, feeling frightened? Why you had to be told to leave them alone? You had business inside
their offices not outside being aggressive toward them.”
| did offer an explanation. | am only aware of a single conversation with Lynn Cameron outside City Hall that
took place on September 11, 2019. She was not in tears nor did she look frighten. As a matter of fact, she did
not walk or run away from me; she stayed and spoke and answered my question.
It was 11 days later, on September 22, 2019 that the police showed up to issue a verbal warning to have no
contact with assessing employees outside of city hall or a restraining order would be issued. | was also warned
that if my conduct in City Hall was viewed inappropriate, | could be removed from the building and denied
entry for an extended period of time.
If had been so menacing and emotionally abusive, why did the police wait 11 days to issue the warning? The
use of the word “accosted” is interesting and disputable.
| explained on social media, that | had watched Lynn Cameron deal with some pretty difficult people (they
were men} who came into the assessing office upset about exemptions. They were verbally and aggressively
confronting her. She was accosted by them. She stood up to questioning beautifully and was no shrinking
violet.
The information from the police investigation has not been made public yet. | am still waiting for my RTK
request to be filled. It has been 8 months since the warning was issued and | have no idea what was said by
every employee to warrant the warning given to me.
Have the Aldermen and Jan Schmidt been made privy to the information in that investigation and should she
be posting the results on social media when the person accused does not have access to the information and
no real means to defend themselves?
So, when Jan Schmidt writes employees were accosted, in tears and frightened. Who is she referring to?
This is not the first time that Alderwoman Schmidt has used social media to address the police warning.
| was sent a post this weekend by a Nashua resident who was on Jan’s personal Facebook page. Here is what
was written,
“Lam trying to have a conversation with a woman who has inflated her self-importance by attacking a
city department.
You know that person who has an argument by increasing the load of horseshite by bringing up every
single slight she has ever encountered?
Even if each has been resolved, years ago?
And then her friends jump in to tell you that you are shite and have to be removed from office?
