Fresh activity in RIB case
Posted on Tue, Aug 12, 2014 by wolfeblog
Today, the Board of Selectmen noticed two non-public sessions with attorneys. The first meeting will take place Wednesday morning at the offices of our current attorneys, Hinckley Allen & Snyder, at their offices in Concord.

The second meeting will be Friday morning at the offices of Sherin and Lodgen in Boston. This law firm has never been noticed on the case, so it is not clear which party, if any, they represent.

That’s the extent of what is known.

Of course, the complete vacuum of information that is the Selectmen’s veil of secrecy breeds wild speculation, and regular readers will know that the blog enjoys wild speculation as much as anyone else.

Possibly the settlement talks have been successful, and the meetings are to formalize an agreement. The meeting tomorrow with our attorneys would suggest that, and it would be the most productive outcome for all involved.

The meeting in Boston on Friday with the previously unmentioned law firm of Sherin and Lodgen is curious though. It’s not inconceivable that, as has been rumored with Wright Pierce, the town may have had a falling out with their attorneys over the lack of subject matter jurisdiction debacle, and now need to change attorneys. If that’s the case, we’ll know soon enough as new attorneys would need to notice with the court.

Ever the optimist, I’m going with the settlement possibility.

Why DO the selectmen always make everything such a big secret??

Because the Granite State News deadline is Monday at Noon?

HUH????

Bob Lemaire is just as bad as he claims the Selectmen to be, and he doesn't post half the stuff I send him. Recently he made an argument that the sewer district might suffice with a 400,000 gallon capacity, and when I pointed out to him that the the district was expanded on his own street he chose not to print it. He made it sound as if the Town was losing their case throughout his recordings on his blog, and yet we won. He doesn't seem to understand what a gag order means and thinks the Town should knock on his door with daily updates!!! Maybe Bob Lemaire should run for public office in town and be part of the decision making process, but it's always easier to stand out on South Main Street and throw rocks at Town Hall!!!
