REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderman Clemons
Thank you. | just wanted to say that | would be remiss if | didn’t make any comments in regards to the terrible
situation that occurred last Wednesday at our US Capitol. | think it affects everyone on so many levels. | will
keep this brief, | am very happy that the House of Representatives is going forward with the impeachment of
the President. | am happy that the FBI is looking into the people who stormed the Capitol. As far as | am
concerned, these people are infidels and | am very happy that our Law Enforcement here in the City of
Nashua and the State of New Hampshire are on top of any shenanigans that might come up between now
and the Inauguration and afterwards.
We need to stay strong and be united as Americans. There is a time for disagreement; we can disagree
about politics, about our candidates, where we stand on the issues. But there is no place, you know, you can
fight an election just like the President did through the Courts even though he got turned down a million times,
that’s just how it is. And that’s our American system. And we live another day. We have turnover, we have
term limits in this country, they are called elections. So | encourage everyone to stay involved, and you know,
just be vigilant, if you see something, say something. But really in our society, in my opinion, there’s no
justification for violent revolution. We do our revolution at the ballot box, that’s the way it should be. It’s how |
believe and how | was taught that America is and should be and | am proud to be an American citizen. Thank
you.
President Wilshire
Thank you. Alderman Dowd?
Alderman Dowd
Yes, first of all | would like to welcome Attorney Bolton back to the fold. There is no one happier to see him
than | am. We have been colleagues and friends for decades, probably longer than neither one of us would
like to admit. But | am glad to see him back and active and hope he doesn’t rush too much into the fray and
has time to recover. Also I'd like to welcome Attorney Neumann to the fold. | know that we have hired him
predominantly to look at the numerous Right-to-Know Law issues that we have had. And | don’t know if any
of any of the Board members have the same feeling | do, but | would like to know what all of these requests
have cost the City over the last year and if anything positive that would have done something beneficial for
the City, or even homeowners, has come out of all of those Right-to-Know requests. Because it is an
extensive amount of money; I'd like to know what the estimate is of that amount of money and what all of that
has been used for. Thank you.

Alderman Klee?
Alderman Klee
Thank you, Madam President. | wanted to comment on the Brave New World Art Project. | too have driven
by it a few times. The first time | drove by it | really wasn’t even aware of what the project was. | pulled onto
Sargent Ave. and parked my car there and walked over to look at it. It was more impressive to literally walk
