In the Board of Tax and Land Appeals order regarding the City of Berlin (docket No.; 29285-1908), the
Board acknowledges a statement from Director Gerry quoting the Asb, “Transparency, openness and
responsiveness to the public's concerns must be integral to our (assessing community) behavior.”
| have long been a proponent of letting those most knowledgeable in the information sought be responsible
for searching and responding to requests. The Nashua legal office has chosen a different approach that |
believe has set up a litigious and contentious situation between the public and city employees.
lf Chief Vincent is going to be successful here in Nashua, he cannot be pinched between the public and
City management. He must perform his duties in compliance with the regulations specified by the DRA and
the Asb.
Sincerely
Laurie Ortolano
