Alderwoman Lu

Thank you, Madam Chairman, the way it looks to me is that a resident in Nashua who either wrote or saw
something that they feel that they would like to come to our meeting and read, they feel that it is relevant. |
don’t know that is germane to our decision whether it was her idea or someone she knows. She would like
to have read it before us and | think that’s all that matters.

Thank you very much. Madam President, there is one communication there for Mrs. Laurie
Ortolano relative to the pandemic muzzling. I’d like to either have it be resubmitted with signature
from the sender or to make note that Mrs. Ortolano said that she, in fact, was the author of the blog
that she referenced.

We have, right now, we have more than 8,000 people who filed unemployment claims in Nashua.
Unemployment claims and they are out of work. Those are just people who are working for New Hampshire
businesses. The people who are out of work who had been working in Massachusetts are not included in those
numbers, so conservatively we can say that right this second there are 10,000 people out of work right in our
community.
