Yes, Have a problem with letting people get away with manipulating the facts and manipulating people
~/ don’t know why | bother.”
She the writes on her page, “I have to say that 99% of my own constituency is incredible. Thoughtful,
caring, part of a community- but there’s those few — one called me a Schmidthead today...sigh.”
itis not clear, if Aldermen Schmidt is referring to me in this post. But what is clear is that it is incredibly
inappropriate to write this way about any citizen who chose to reach out to Jan.
If this post is, in fact, about me, then Jan is doing quite a bit of information manipulation herself. She writes
that each of the issues has been resolved years ago. My issues have not been resolved. My appeal and
abatement will continue for the next several years, my Right-To-Know lawsuit is scheduled for a 2 day trial in
November, and my police investigation data has not been released. We still do not have a Chief of Assessing
and no policies have yet to be written to guide the office. The by-laws for the Board of Assessor were started
last September and are not publicly available. Public input has been eliminated. Moving forward to replace
paper data with digital data has not even been looked at.
Finally, and most disappointing, there is not community involvement in the policy creation or digital data
initiative.
If 99% of Jan’s constituency is wonderful, | think she should be able to handle the 1% that are difficult. Once
again, she doesn’t have to use social media to draw attention to this individual. Wouldn’t it be best to just
ignore this individual?
lam very concerned about Jan Schmidt’s conduct and her ability to serve the people of Nashua as an
Alderwoman and Representative to the state.

BTW, in the process of drafting this letter, | have been in an email exchange with Ms. Schmidt. | sent the email
to her City account and she responded using a private account. | do not think this is appropriate as lam
addressing City business. | will forward all the emails.
