| hope you'll all consider whether this makes sense, if this is a way to...
President Wilshire
We passed legislation for the time period. If you can’t be respectful of that, I’m sorry. There’s nothing | can do about it.
Elizabeth Lu
No I'm respectful. | just thought | could finish a sentence. Thank you.
Laura Colquhoun
Laura Colquhoun, 30 Greenwocd Drive. | wish you Miss Wilshire would be more respectful to the residents. I’d like to go on
the record I’ve never asked to have the money to be taken away from Court Street. What | do want is | want the residents to
be able to see that it is a losing proposition. We may in 10 years decide to make it a museum, which would be fine. The
problem is I'd like more transparency with the City of Nashua and obviously that is something that you, and a lot of the other
Board members, and the Mayor.
I'm also very upset with the Mayor’s e-mail going out because when you say “oh, let’s have outside dining”, well Nashua has
outside dining but it has nothing to do. You have to mention the barriers because most people are against the barriers.
That's all | have to say. | think it’s very petty that number one the last chamber had cushions on those chairs, and now there
is none, and now you've taken away the table. Shame on you all.
Scott McCullough
Yes, I'd like to comment on you guys are doing a fantastic job. Thank you to Mayor Jim Donchess and | would like to know if
Lori and everybody would be willing to make a team for the Best Buddies Friendship Walk coming up June 11 in Concord.
I'd like to know Mayor are you willing to donate some money or make a team for the Best Buddies Friendship Walk coming
up in Concord, NH? It’s for Best Buddies New Hampshire. | was just wondering if — oh | forgot to state my name. My name
is Scott McCullough, Congress Street, Building 49, Apt. 6. Sorry | forgot to do that. Sorry | forgot to do that Ms. Chair.
Sorry, | totally forgot to do that. I’d like to see if you guys could maybe make up a team for the Best Buddies Friendship Walk
or donate or Mike O’Brien and you guys could make a team.
Mayor Donchess
Well Scott, I’d be glad to donate. No Problem. I’m sure some of the Board will too.
Scott McCullough
If you guys would like to donate, you can go to www.bestbuddies.org. Look up Bangor Buddies on the Loose. Hopefully |
didn’t go too fast for you. Thank you and | greatly appreciate.
Keep up the good work and thank you for us having the mask mandate rid of because you don’t know how much that meant
to me when | went into work and they told me | didn’t have to wear a mask at my hotel no more. | love it, freedom!
President Wilshire
Thank you so much.
Matthew Gouthro
Thank you Madam Chair. I'll start over once again from my earlier comments. Matthew Gouthro, 104 Fawn Lane, here in
Nashua. Today in your meeting materials you received a proposal of a strategic plan for our public library by Jennifer
McCormick. Changes and enhancements for our library here in Nashua are long overdue. While | applaud the efforts to
make our library a more engaging and inclusive environment, as a Nashua resident I’m really disappointed in the state of the
physical building and its’ grounds. Not to take away from Alderman O’Brien’s previous comments on another item, but the
public grounds that surround this building is also tired. I’m astounded at how this City could let this public property get to this
point. | remember speaking with Jennifer McCormick last year during our Nashua City Academy and sharing with her how
this is not a really welcoming environment. Actually for my 4 year old who is an avid reader, she finds this place pretty scary.
