Ald McCarthy,
In light of the recent RTK concerns with the Board of Education as reported by the Nashua Telegraph, the fact that one of
my colleagues has accused me of violating the RTK law and the absence of any response from you or Corporation
Counse! I would ask that the following communication be accepted and placed on file under suspension of rules this
evening.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Regards,
Ald Cookson

Ald Dowd,
| appreciate your concern.
I don't believe my response violates the Right-to-Know but am certain if it does | will be notified by Corporation Council; in
the instance it does | am happy to have this correspondence submitted as a communication at our next meeting.
In fact, | was simply replying in a manner which Ald McCarthy's suggested in the final sentence of his original
correspondence.
Let me copy and paste it here for your convenience:
“If you respond with thoughts in this regard, please limit them to the process and not the substance of the matter."
That is what | did with my response. | did not discuss any aspect of the legislation itself - pro or con; | discussed the
process to send to a committee without it having a first reading.
if you read my first sentence | did speak with Ald McCarthy last evening but thought it important | voice my opinion to his
original distribution list.
Kindest Regards,
Aid Cookson
