Well that’s not the case Robert, that’s not the case at all.
Mr. Farineli Then howto do plan on enforcement, who is planning on enforcing this and how?
President Wilshire
This isn’t a give and take, I’m just telling you the City is not looking for people’s business licenses. Do you
have anything else Robert?
Mr. Farineli Can you explain to me how you plan on enforcing this then?
President Wilshire
No | cannot.
Mr. Farineli Of course Nashua loves to keep its secrets.
President Wilshire
Thank you. Anyone else wish to give public comment? Laura, name and address for the record?
Laura Colquhoun 30 Greenwood Drive. First of alll am very insulted by the tone and what the Mayor said,
| don’t think he knows what he’s talking about. | had sent a Right to Know last year in and | asked for a
listing of open building permits. | got back over 33,000 documents. No one bothered to call me or anything
else, | just got 33,000 documents back and they said, “Oh we can’t tell you wnat’s open’. It’s also
happening now that if you even ask a question to Assessing they are going in and they aresendinga
stupid question to the Legal Department and making it a Right to Know. | think that’s a waste of time and
money. | have had Right to Knows with Dave (inaudible) | send it to him, no problem | get it back and if he
doesn’t understand what | am asking for, he gives me an e-mail or he gives me a call and he gets me the
information. If we start not going to the Departments, we are going to get garbage out and that’s wnat we
have been getting right nowwith going through the Legal Department. So | do not feel that we need this
person, | think if the City could get the people and their Departments to actually give the information that
we are asking and not try to inundate us with paperwork which we don’t even want, it would be much more
efficient and we wouldn’t be spending so much money. And | really think if the Mayor looked at the Legal
Department, they are not getting one Right to Know a day. | know for a fact its maybe up to one a month
or something like that. But the more the City is trying to hide, the more people are going to ask for Right to
Knows. And we have a Right to Know. And that’s it, thank you.
President Wilshire
