Franconia residents should follow Atkinson's lead and sue Chief Montminy as he allowed Bruce McKay to "intimidate, humiliate and oppress" residents.

By Christopher King

I have long since (13 May 2008) said the folks in Franconia should give Mark Montminy the heave-ho, as voters did to Lyndeborough's Chief Basinas. Look in the files for any investigation or response regarding the valid complaints leveled against Bruce McKay and you won't find a damn thing.

Even in McKay's death Kelly Ayotte and Franconia Chief Mark Montminy failed to conduct any investigation or to issue any report about the 7 or 8 policy violations he committed that directly and not unforeseeably led to his death.

Then look at today's Union Leader Story and see what the residents in Brentwood/Atkinson are doing; I'll post the entire story in the comments because you know how the UL makes you pay for it when it "expires" on their website.

While many of the allegations were fired at Consentino, the suit also accuses him, the current and former selectmen, and the town's moderator of engaging in an "organized conspiracy" to "intimidate, humiliate and oppress" residents who oppose decisions made by the chief and local government.

The suit was filed in Rockingham County Superior Court by Concord attorney Charles G. Douglas III and seeks unspecified monetary damages.....
