Keene Parks and Rec director Andy Bohannon made headlines here at Free Keene in October 2012 when he attempted to intimidate peaceful chalkers in downtown’s Central Square during “Chalk the Police” day. Andy hid his nametag from view when he was questioned by activists including Garret Ean. Government in New Hampshire is supposed to be open and accountable, as per article 8 of the NH Constitution’s Bill of Rights, yet Andy hid his identity as he tried to stop the free speech event.
Now Dave Ridley confronts him about it, more than two years later, and it sounds like Andy denies his own behavior as he scurries out of the city building after a council meeting. Dave gives chase into the parking lot but doesn’t get another word out of Andy. Perhaps he’s embarrassed about his behavior? If so, then why not admit fault and apologize like most good people would do when they do something they regret? I guess that would take some integrity and guts.

So is Drac Vermell an alias or your real name? I’ll keep off the topic on this page seeing you like to Drac. That is your real name right?
BB SIZZLE Why Matthew dear, of course Drac Vermell is my real name! Now why on earth would you ever think otherwise? You’re not trying to project your own dishonest impulses onto me, now are you “Michael Nowak?” And who is this Michael Nowak anyway, Matthew? He isn’t a workmate that you wimpishly decided to throw under the bus, now is he? This isn’t a rhetorical question by the way, I’d really like to know. Oh and kitten, before I forget, I trust that your dear wife has been behaving herself lately? I heard that she got herself into a little bit of trouble with Keene’s local authorities not so long ago.
