From the Londonderry Times<\/a> Letter to the Editor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearing Up Missstatements<\/strong>
To the editor,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the final portion of the May 15, Town Council meeting, Chairman John Farrell made a misleading statement about a ‘lawsuit’ that was filed by my lawyer, Kevin Coyle, against the town of Londonderry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not a lawsuit, it is a petition to have the superior court order the Town to release a document. It is the way the law works when a public entity does not comply with the 91-A right to know law. We are requesting for one (1) public document that the town refuses to release to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The document was shown to me on my final day as a Town Councilor and pertains to a complaint filed by someone to the town on my use of the word “seduce.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to my lawyer, Kevin Coyle, “We gave the town every opportunity to comply with 91-A requests and they chose to have us take the issue to superior court.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Farrell’s statement, he refers to many documents being requested in the lawsuit, that is simply not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As to how much this will cost the town, it should have cost them nothing. In my opinion, it’s a public document written against me and I have the right to have a copy of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the record, I was allowed to read the document on my last day as a councilor, but was told I could NOT take a copy of what was written about me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
