KingCast and the Talking Heads say "Stay up late," and read the Memorandum Contra the State's Motion to Dismiss in KingCast v. Martha McLeod et al.

By Christopher King

As Franconia and NH LE have largely stopped making sense years ago, here's the Talking Heads doing Stay up Late, and appropriately enough, Found a Job. This jam's for Liko, Martha, Terrie, Kelly, Mark, and Mother Ann.

KingCast: We keep on keepin' on with the First Amendment.

Stay tuned, I'll be linking the Brief on scribd.com by around 10:30 EST. For now here's a sample. I haven't been devoting too much attention to the Franconia liars, so I guess I'll feature them this evening.

IV. FRANCONIA RESPONDENTS
A. THE MINUTES BEFORE GOING INTO PRIVATE SESSION ON BRUCE MCKAY

Counsel for Respondents Montminy and the Town of Franconia feebly state ?Both Chief Montminy and the Board of Selectmen would aver that the board never went into the non-public session to discuss any possible personnel action against Bruce McKay as alleged by Petitioner.? But while they ?would aver,? they did not aver, (i.e. issue any Affidavit) and that is important because they could have been found in contempt of court for the Mark Montminy Affidavit in KingCast v. Ayotte et al., 07-E-268 on a similar issue: Should the court review that file it will find that Respondent Montminy issued an Affidavit that stated he looked high and low for the Troy Watts Ethics Complaint in the Police Station and in City Hall and no such document could be located.

But then Petitioner asked Grafton County Prosecutor Ricardo St. Hilaire to produce it and he produced it in a day or two, replete with:

a) Time-stamped fax addresses showing that the town had a copy and sent it to his office;
b) Certified U.S. Mail envelopes to Chief Montminy and Bruce McKay.

The record will further reveal that the Respondents' excuse was that ?it was in Sarah?s file all along but we didn?t understand that was what you wanted, or that it was a complaint." Please review the Troy Watts email to Respondent, however, that clearly shows it was a complaint because he called it a letter of grievance. Attachment 10. Petitioner gave a copy of the email to Respondents nearly a year before they provided the complaint, and worst of all, they gave Respondent OTHER DOCUMENTS from Sarah?s file during that period.

This court must order Chief Montminy and the Board to issue an Affidavit under Oath if that is their argument.
