Common Sense For New Hampshire

A year later now, the rest of the information will hopefully be released this coming week.

Its important to note that if the administration really was concerned about the privacy rights of the gift card recipients, it would have honored the state’s strongly worded request and not inserted itself into the distribution of charitable donations in the first place.  I don’t know of any other towns that ignored that advice and exploited the situation for political advantage by handing out money themselves.

I’m sure Bean will next want to review the list of “clients” who received thousands of dollars each from the Sandy Relief Fund.  We’ll see if the administration’s lawyer, Michael Dupont, wishes to extend his losing streak by advising it not to comply with Bean’s request for the information.  (BTW, as a councilman, Bean shouldn’t even have to invoke the OPRA law.)
