Old Media Advocates Dissolution of Grievance Panel

In a sadly obeisant editorial, the Concord Monitor snuggles up to “the state”:

The House Redress of Grievances Committee is an artifact of colonial-era New Hampshire that for 150 years remained embalmed in the state Constitution.

Response to Attorney Genital’s Attack on Grievance Panel

As if to prove he doesn’t care about the constitution, NH the NH attorney genital has attacked the grievance panel as wasting his agency’s resources. Now both a high level judge and the AG have attacked the panel – they must be doing something right.

At my hearings, Assistant Attorney General Richard Head appeared with his pen and paper and feverishly took notes, about God knows what! Also present at the hearing was Attorney Michael Pearson, who was representing Guardian ad Litem Tracy Bernson.

Several weeks later, the redress committee invited all of the people that were named in my petition for redress of grievance to attend a public hearing and offer a defense/rebuttal to my testimony. This “rebuttal hearing” was not just for my hearing – it was for nearly a dozen hearings.

Of importance to note, Assistant AG Richard Head was there at the rebuttal hearing, but when it came time to defend the judges, marital masters, and guardian ad litem named in my petition, Richard Head was silent – not only silent, but he remained seated. (more…)
