The council ultimately\u00a0voted to accept the investigative findings, determining the allegations of ethics code violations against Counselor Paul were\u00a0unfounded and subsequently closed the matter. Additionally, a separate report from the\u00a0Rockingham County Sheriff&#8217;s Department regarding potential criminal activity allegations\u00a0was also received and those claims were also determined to be\u00a0unfounded, bringing all investigations to a close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ethics Complaint Unfounded\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fHIgKMGGsTo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Posts:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10944\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10944\">Londonderry Times: Independent Review Clears Paul of All Ethics Charges<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10706\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10706\">Video: Code of Ethics &amp; Town Charter Complaints Addressed, 6\/2\/2025<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All ethics complaints filed by Former Town Councilor John Farrell against Town Councilor Deb Paul have been determined to be unfounded and closed.
