Attorney General John Formella released his second compliance report Friday required under the new state law that is supposed to make public the names of police or former officers who have been disciplined for dishonesty or excessive force.
Attorney General John Formella wants the lawsuit seeking the unredacted 280 names on the Laurie List of dishonest law enforcement officers dismissed, arguing the matter is no longer in dispute because a new law will make the list public anyway.
The lawsuit seeking the unredacted Laurie List of dishonest police will continue even though five of the newspapers and ACLU-NH that originally sued the attorney general to get the list have withdrawn saying it is moot now that HB 471 has been signed into law.
Since the Attorney General’s Office began maintaining the Laurie list of dishonest police now known as the Exculpatory Evidence Schedule in March of 2017, a total of 14 redacted names have been confidentially removed, according to Senior Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey Ward.
CONCORD – State police were called to the State House Thursday after hundreds of pro-choice activists, public education supporters, disability rights groups, and climate change activists entered the building following an outdoor rally and demanded Gov. Chris Sununu veto the budget.
Originally filed by the Claremont, Franklin, Lisbon, Allenstown, and Pittsfield school districts, Claremont ultimately established that the state of New Hampshire has a constitutional obligation to provide all children with an adequate public education and to fund that education with taxes that are uniform throughout the state.
Bill Gardner said he will not start campaigning until after all recounts from Tuesday’s elections are completed and expects that perhaps Andru Volinsky or someone else is interested in running against him.
A merger between Concord Hospital and LRGHealthcare in Laconia, foreclosures, and abandoning seven miles of rail-trail between Bethlehem and Littleton to make it good for recreational use were among the issues discussed by the Governor and Executive Council on Wednesday.
