Right to Know

The Right to Know. The right to know what? Why should I care about this? How does this affect me? Why is anyone bothering me with this? Isn’t this one of those political things that makes no sense to anyone that is not a lawyer or a politician? Who cares? They’re gonna do what they want anyway. So, why should I even bother? It’s dry garbage. It makes no difference to me. No one cares what I think. Besides, I don’t feel like being the one to put my name out there as someone who disagrees with the powers that be, because I work for a business that does work for the town. What would happen if I spoke out against something that they are doing? Would I lose my job? Or be blackballed? Or would my boss try to get rid of me?

Does any of this sound familiar? Are you or someone you know thinking like this? You are not alone. So many people feel this way. They do not want their names out in the public, be in it newspapers, letters to the editor or at public meeting, for everyone else to see.

That’s just not fair, or acceptable to the MCA. We want everyone to voice their opinions and their objections or support to anything that is happening in our town. Speak out to us. We will voice your concerns.

The Right to Know Law is important for all citizens of NH to understand. Our Attorney General has encouraged every citizen of this state to read and understand the Right to Know Law. It is so important, that any failure to adhere to the law, will take precedence over anything else in Superior Court.

Please come to A Right to Know Seminar on Monday August 10^th, 7pm at the Moultonboro Library. There will be guest speakers that are experienced with the Right to Know Laws. Ed Naile from the Coalition of NH Taxpayers; Doug Lambert from Gilfordgrok; and Tom Tardif, former Mayor of Laconia will be speaking. There will be a question and answer period to follow. We encourage everyone to attend, whether or not one is involved in politics or not. This is information for everyone, whether Democrat, Republican or anything else. We welcome everyone.
