  The Internet Trolls are at it again as I have not posted any comments on the Public Forum since Sunday at 5:58 PM stating the articles that I had published that day.

  Sparks are starting to fly in the Democratic gubernatorial primary as Executive Councilor Cinde Warmington accuses former Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig of hiding from the voters and avoiding debates.
  
  In a Tuesday press release headlined “Warmington Challenges Craig to Televised Debate,” the executive councilor suggests Craig is trying to avoid a direct contest between the two candidates.
  
  “WMUR has traditionally hosted a gubernatorial primary debate in advance of the September primary election. To date, Warmington has been the only Democratic candidate conducting regular media interviews across print, television, and radio,” the campaign said in a statement.
  
  In addition to challenging Craig to a televised debate before the September 10 primary, Warmington added, “While participating in the WMUR TV debate hasn’t been a question in past election cycles, I’m concerned by recent events that my opponent may not give voters the opportunity they deserve to hear from both major candidates on the debate stage.
  
  “I’ve been campaigning the New Hampshire way for over a year, meeting voters all over the state, taking tough questions from reporters, and participating in countless forums,” Warmington said.
  
  (Editor’s note: Warmington has declined to respond to more than 50 requests for comment on current news stories from reporters at NHJournal.)
  
  Warmington’s campaign also pointed out Craig’s refusal to participate in a bipartisan forum hosted by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, as well as a recent incident in which Craig’s campaign had a New Hampshire Public Radio reporter ejected from an interfaith forum.
  
  Craig’s campaign also declined to respond to requests for comment from NHJournal, but campaign manager Craig Brown told the Union Leader she’s already committed to the WMUR face off.

• Dennis (Monday, July 22 24 12:50 pm EDT)

  What did you expect from the chief he has his own side hustle so you think he will force his men to give up theirs. No way. He covered things up thinking that he would not get caught.

• Claremont Democrats (Monday, July 22 24 11:25 am EDT)

  There will be a trash clean up day in the city for all the Biden signs. Please do your part

• Dan (Monday, July 22 24 11:23 am EDT)

  I will be voting for jon stone this November and for trump. The more the liberal media beats them up the more my friends also see the corruption in city, state, and especially the federal government.

• Alex (Monday, July 22 24 09:10 am EDT)

  The chief tricked us to think he solved the problem and he didn't. The whole department can't be trusted.

• John J. O’Connor (Monday, July 22 24 07:53 am EDT)

  Tom,
  I make no excuses being a strong supporter of Law Enforcement and if you know anything about Civil service you would know there is a deep rivalry between cops and Firefighters so when I compliment the Fire Department I mean it. Chief Chamberlain is doing a great job !
  As for Jon Stone, I considered him a friend and I still do. I don’t turn my back on my friends
  I am extremely disappointed in his behavior, it is inexcusable and unacceptable but I still consider him a friend.

• Retired Captain (Monday, July 22 24 07:45 am EDT)

  Good morning all. Reading the section about the fire department I had a few questions. I am a member of one of the cities mutual aid partners. I happen to catch wind of something concerning and having property in Claremont I have to wonder who would be on the hook if something bad were to happen. One of the other mutual aid departments the city uses must have a town policy that differs from the town I serve with. We are in no circumstances allowed to send minors or non air pack qualified members out of town on mutual aid calls. They are also not allowed to wear breathing apparatus or enter burning structures. Having recently done station coverage for Claremont I have to wonder if Claremont is unaware that minors are being sent with Ascutney? Does the city take on the liability if these under 18 year old non fire academy certified attendees get injured or would it be their towns insurer? I suspect NFPA, the NH and VT fire academies would be terribly upset with this occurring. Why does Claremont allow them in airpacks and into burned or burning buildings. I would have a hard time thinking it would not be aware. While covering Claremonts firehouse the other night it was learned that Claremont C3, firefighters Walker and Murphy and possibly others are members of Ascutney and were all working this particular shift. Captain Stevens son is one of the minors which is great to see him following in Dads footsteps but seems terrible shortsighted from a safety standpoint. I wasn't going to say anything and obviously can't ask those that were present that allow it. I don't want my tax dollars having to pay for the avoidable lawsuit. Your town government must be aware.

• Tom (Monday, July 22 24 06:45 am EDT)

  All Chamberlain has done is try to shed responsibility. He took the job as chief without wanting to be the airport manager and that is part of the job it has been for decades. He wants the big pay but not do the work. Now he has a second assistant chief to pass off more of his duties. His men are just like him. A firefighter is an on-call job like a doctor, a nurse, a police officer and other emergency personnel. Our firefighters here are entitled little bitches that are working second and third jobs to bank money because the unions rigged the system with contracts that remove that responsibility that other firefighters everywhere else accept because it's the job and they care about the safety of people first instead of putting the almighty dollar first. O'Connor everyone knows you are an ex-cop and blindly loyal to the boys in blue and the boys in red no matter what they might do. You supported Stone when most folks repudiated him. You have no credibility. City managers and city councilors allowed the firefighters to take advantage of the taxpayers and everyone else who lives here so they are just as disgusting as the greedy firemen.

• John J. O’Connor (Monday, July 22 24 06:26 am EDT)

  Ryan,
  Chief Chamberlain’s only responsibility is to the Claremont residents. If something serious happens to a surrounding town there is no doubt in my mind that CFD would respond.
  Chief Chamberlain has proven to be a true professional and Claremont is extremely lucky to have him.

• Ryan (Monday, July 22 24 05:34 am EDT)

  I thought Chief Chamberlain took care of the problems with the firemen not showing up when they are not on the job at the firehouse. I'll bet a lot of other people did too. He lied to everyone and almost got away with it. He covered for himself and for the firemen still working their side hustles. Morris and Yoshi let the firemen have whatever they wanted in their contracts and a slew of councilors all went along with it without a care about all of us and what this would do to our public safety. It's not right what they are doing to us.

• Insider (Sunday, July 21 24 01:47 pm EDT)

  It has been proven by many in the city that Jim is just a distraction put forth by the city admin and council so that they can do what they need to do without prejudice. Part of my job is feeding information to Jim that will keep him busy yet not have the city get in trouble for any thing really important.

• Sullivan report recovery group (Sunday, July 21 24 01:03 pm EDT)

  Can't hardly wait for today's news flash.
  Probably some tasty regurgitated tidbits from the "what up pages" including furniture on pleasant street, lead in the water and info safely obtained from the confinement of ones basement.
  I just hope that any recaps regarding city council members and the city manager include the sloth emoji and more copy and past insults / criticism.
  All jokes asides,
  I think Dim Sullivan is just a distraction. He is a puppet.
  He only moves in the direction his strings are pulled.

• Jake (Saturday, July 20 24 12:30 pm EDT)

  Jim you don't debate anything. You post your misunderstandings publicly like they are gospel. You don't even accurately follow or document meetings. Your diatribe goes after people without even ever asking anyone that you write about their intent or side of things. When you want to pretend trolls attack you because they can't debate facts you are the person you should be addressing as you are a troll that does just that. Grow up.

  The trolls are working overtime, I did not make that last comment at 3:47 pm.
  I stand by everything I have posted previously .

• Jim Sullivan (Friday, July 19 24 03:47 pm EDT)

  Just got home from work and looking at the Public Forum postings for the last few days because I've been too busy to do so till now. The last time I posted on the Public Forum was Sunday at 9 PM. All other postings attributed to me since then are fake in a dishonest attempt to discredit both myself and this website because these cowardly fake posters cannot debate the issues like honest, respectable people. This is to set the record straight because several of the people posting here have been deceived and are arguing with liars with no morals or values who will write anything to try to get a rise out of people. Don't be fooled.

• Insider (Friday, July 19 24 09:36 am EDT)

  Jim, you are wrong about the permits. Especially in a commercial apartment building. This is very shady. You can be assured that
  The building inspector is aware of this.

• Garrett (Friday, July 19 24 08:18 am EDT)

  So you are of the mindset of the owner themselves does the repairs in your apartment building they don't need to pull a city permit and have the work inspected? Perhaps you have just proven the point that you are in no position to critique other properties when you yourself don't know your ass front hole in the wall. Hypocrite.

• Union Leader (Friday, July 19 24 07:57 am EDT)

  Sens. Jeb Bradley & Sharon Carson: Republicans get the job done for NH families
  
  
  IT’S HARD not to get cynical about our national politics these days. But here in New Hampshire, Senate Republicans have led the way to get things done for New Hampshire working families. We are proud of what we’ve done this year to keep New Hampshire the best place to live, work, and raise a family.
  
  Our top priority is always to keep Granite State families safe. For several years, we have worked to fix the state’s broken bail system. This year, we have finally gotten meaningful bail reform over the finish line. While no one will be denied bail simply because they cannot afford it, we have set up a system that requires violent and repeat offenders to go in front of a judge or magistrate before being released.
  
  We’ve taken proactive steps to address our nation’s border crisis by making sure the Northern Border Alliance has the tools and resources to stop illegal immigration into New Hampshire and the resulting drug smuggling and human trafficking that comes with it.
  
  Lack of affordable housing continues to be a major hurdle, both for New Hampshire families and our state’s economy. Last year, we dedicated $35 million to the Affordable Housing Fund, an additional $10 million to InvestNH, $5 million for Housing Champions, and $10 million in state aid for homelessness programs. This year we worked to lower bureaucratic hurdles that stifle housing development and allocated $2.5 million to increase rates for shelter programs. We also protected the rights of property owners by prohibiting squatters’ rights.
  
  During the last legislative session, the Senate led the way in passing more than $500 million in property tax relief for cities and towns. We built on that record this session, sending nearly $2.7 billion in state aid to cities and towns, including $683 million in new state aid. That includes the $169 million increase to local school districts under our Student-Centered Education Funding Formula, $90 million for water and wastewater infrastructure and treatment programs, $40 million for municipal roads and bridges, and $260 million in local Rooms and Meals revenues over the biennium, double the amount going back to towns from just four years ago.
  
  We stood up for vulnerable New Hampshire children, putting new protections in place for kids placed in the state’s care, increasing penalties for child pornography and violations of privacy involving minors, and banned life-altering and irreversible gender reassignment surgery for children.
  
  We kept our promise to fight for New Hampshire families, passing a Parents Bill of Rights that would guarantee every parent has a right to know what’s going on with their children in New Hampshire schools. We voted to protect girls by allowing schools to distinguish bathrooms, locker rooms and sports teams based on biological sex. We passed legislation to provide a clear complaint and appeals process for parents who believe school materials are inappropriate. We also expanded eligibility for New Hampshire’s wildly successful Education Freedom Account program, which is already helping 4,200 working families choose the best educational path for their children.
  
  We will always protect the New Hampshire Advantage. We blocked big spending bills that would force us into an income tax, sales tax, increased property taxes, or the return of donor towns. We will never tax our way to prosperity. Instead, we passed a balanced budget that has produced a revenue surplus of $146.5 million through the end of June.
  
  This fiscal discipline and common-sense policy making has helped make New Hampshire not only the freest state in the nation, but the safest, the healthiest, the best for economic opportunity, and the best for child well-being in the nation.
  
  There are always new challenges ahead. Senate Republicans stand ready to face them with the same dedication and commitment that we’ve shown over the past four years. We will never take for granted the trust that Granite Staters have placed in us to get things done for New Hampshire working families.

• Ken (Wednesday, July 17 24 09:14 am EDT)

  Jim, listening to the scanner last evening and seeing all the photos of destruction in the community today on social media I am wondering if you have requested a copy of the call in attendance for the fire department? The Chief signed on an immediately ordered all off duty personnel to be recalled to the station. I am curious since you articles on this topic last if there has been better response from full time fireman. Thank you sir.

• Garett (Tuesday, July 16 24 08:36 am EDT)

  Kevin you are kinda dumb huh. Seems James and Kevin both have no comprehensive skills to understand how an accessory taxation opinion differs from a property safety inspection. Anyone with have a brain can look at a property of massive size and deduce that if 2% of say 65,000 square feet is occupied that would be reflected. The entire property could have 100% sprinkler coverage and fire alarm and meet all entrance and egress requirements as set forth by code. Full disclaimer I am an insurance inspector. You should try to at minimum understand a process before making such wild claims.

• Mike (Tuesday, July 16 24 08:36 am EDT)

  It seems like someone has gotten underneath Jim’s skin! For shits and giggles, I decided to look up the property card on Jim’s house. It’s worse than the music center! Only 43% good and therefore 57% “dilapidated.” Should anyone even be allowed to live here? Whose pocket did Jim grease to allow this building a certificate of occupancy? What say you Jim?

• Jim's Neighbor (Tuesday, July 16 24 08:27 am EDT)

  When saying internet trolls Jim do you look in the mirror you narcissist? What's wrong? Can't prove it wrong? Should others be the only ones with accusations or speculation they have to defend? I would love to see more digging on you Jim. Others should post their own articles. The tables turn.

• Jim Sullivan (Tuesday, July 16 24 05:43 am EDT)

  I see that the Internet Trolls are at it again with the false accusations since they cannot debate the facts because the facts do not support the political narrative that they are peddling to the public. I did not write the last posting and I won't be writing any other postings that the Internet Trolls may try to attribute to me today because I am now going to work.

  NEWS FLASH
  
  Former City Councilors Apartment Building Sold - Free Rent?
  
  Former City Councilor James Sullivan could potentially be on the receiving end of discounted rent on his Factory Street apartment.
  
  Recently an out of town investor purchased the property and began renovations. Copies of permits have been researched but have not been found as of the writing of this news flash.
  
  Given James status within the city and his ability to email councilors demanding his agenda be forwarded it begs the question if permits were actually obtained or if James had a hand in skirting the permitting and inspection process.
  
  Does James living unit have a sprinkler system? Does it have smoke detectors? Does it have carbon monoxide detectors? Did the city allow James domicile to have a free pass in regards to the safety of the building and its occupants?
  
  If someone doesn't pass the smell test then it needs to be looked into.
  
  Did James use his experience to pad his own narcissist pockets.
  
  What me worry? Stupid is as stupid does?

• Kevin (Monday, July 15 24 08:53 pm EDT)

  Catching up on the forum after vacation and the opinion that the Topstone structure is satisfactory by the person who went by the alias of special delivery doesn't hold water. The property tax card filled out by the city assessor has the Topstone property good rating at a 2 out of 100. 98% of the building is dilapidated according to the city assessor. He is a professional so does that mean his professional opinion of the building's condition does not matter? I will never allow my family to enter the Topstone building or the music center adjacent to City Hall. Both buildings are in terrible shape by the professional opinion of the city assessor. I am not putting my family at risk and I recommend that no one else does either.

• Insider (Monday, July 15 24 12:01 pm EDT)

  Jim’s apartment building recently had construction work done and it was done without a permit. Why would the building inspector allow this to occur? Is he afraid of Jim? Isn’t it illegal to build without a permit?

• Suspicious Observer (Sunday, July 14 24 09:40 pm EDT)

  I find it comical that those posting here, defending those on city council and their decisions of self benefit, display the most immature name calling behavior in response to Jim’s articles. Without knowing all the minutiae it’s clear Claremont has some people in local government and business who are self serving, disingenuous, liars. I also see Koloski repeatedly mentioned here as a shady character who does “some community service” possibly to cover up his nefarious dealings. It begs the question…is there a need for Claremont to have an expose reporting even further than Jim goes?
  I have checked Jim once for alluding to an untrue assumption and he quickly retracted in forum. That shows me some sense of dignity.
  
  How much dignity do the people Jim writes about have? It seems very little because all they have are ad homs and that is indicative of losing the argument.
  I hope someone looks further into this town’s hidden dealings and propensity to support psychos like Stone. CPD offering sign on bonuses mean they can’t retain staff. Is this town going even further into the sh..t?

• Shadow Government (Sunday, July 14 24 09:18 pm EDT)

  Ugly false rumors sort of like speculating about people and businesses within our community? How harsh. Pay your bills Jim. You are a deadbeat and we all know the truth. Still a whiny adult virgin who never even dated. Try something besides poking shots at people who make a difference from behind a keyboard. Make a difference by serving your community on a board or commission. It is not lost on me that you have not given 10 minutes of your life to a board or committee yet cry about someone missing a meeting and make a spreadsheet like a little bitch. Name calling is all you understand. Google Jim Sullivan pedophile. That you James?

• Jim Sullivan (Sunday, July 14 24 09:00 pm EDT)

  As I stated earlier today I am current with my rent and I have not moved. These are just some of the ugly false rumors stated about me on this public forum because I routinely expose the truth about public officials. Secrets they they all want to keep hidden. Doing this reporting makes me a target because they cannot argue the facts because the facts are not on their side.

  Let me save everyone time and paraphrase Jim's articles that he will surely follow up with as a fake post giving praise for his narcissist love of self.
  
  1. I call the council a special kind of stupid.
  
  2. I point out I email the same group expecting they read those messages, give a shit and do my bidding.
  
  3. That does not happen and I don't know why.
  
  4. Koloski read a list of properties into record and I call that stupid. If he had not read them I would have cried foul.
  
  5. I am an adult virgin.
  
  6. I think name calling makes me a big man.

  For the record, there will be articles published later today once I finish writing them. Also, special delivery, whoever the heck you are, your information is faulty as I am current on my rent payments. Wishful thinking on your part.

• Special Delivery (Sunday, July 14 24 11:40 am EDT)

  "Rick" YES, it is a giant conspiracy to hold the rest of us down. This Koloski is so powerful he gets independent sprinkler, fire alarm, insurance companies, iso companies, engineers, architects all with degrees to certify the safety just by kindly asking. They all turn a blind eye just because. None of them had the courtesy to let the firm of James Sullivan give his certified opinion before issuing documents. Oh and he is the only tenant. There are not 6 others. When I deliver packages those must be shadow corporations to further his powerful agenda. It is going to be hot out Dick, I mean "Rick". Be sure to take your tinfoil hat off to let that pea brain breathe. Dumb ass. I am headed to have lunch at the most powerful man in the community according to this websites place. I have it on good authority the owners of the property invited James and Gauthier to tour the property several times throughout their witch hunt and they declined. It doesn't fit their agenda. Unlike the rest of the community that enjoys having the additional business in the community. Good thing people don't give a crap what you think. The people you praise like Norm Blouin tell us all we need to know. How's the renovation on your apartment building going Jim? Heard you are being booted out soon. No article on you bring a deadbeat tenant?

• Rick (Sunday, July 14 24 10:01 am EDT)

  There was no fire inspection or building inspection for the music center property but Nancy Merrill has the building inspector who was one let out the door sign off on an occupancy permit so the music center could move in and start paying the CDA's bills on the building. This had nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with political expediency and more government secrecy to hide what they city employees, city manager and councilors are doing to benefit the CDA and the music center. The same thing is going on with the Topstone building because Koloski has his businesses in the building. If he wasn't there the building would have been condemned I don't think anyone with an open mind doubts that.

• Retired Captain (Sunday, July 14 24 08:45 am EDT)

  That would be because fire alarm companies, sprinkler companies, architects and engineers with degrees as well as city staff that follow state law and code know how to inspect. Jim knows how to cast doubt with no backing. You meant to say these are the only buildings we talk about for these reasons. All about attacking character and business. When you partake you really have to ask yourself what is wrong with you. Fix that and don't worry about someones building that has a brand new sprinkler system and fire alarm. Did you know fire suppression systems are inspected and certified yearly by a third party? Did you know kitchen fire suppression and extinguishers are inspected every 6 months by a 3rd party? Of course you wouldn't. You are ignorant. Educate yourself.

• Jim Sullivan (Sunday, July 14 24 08:45 am EDT)

  No articles today out of respect to our Former and Future President.

  I read the article and no point did I come across any safety concerns. Just Jim implying that these buildings are unsafe.

• Jeff (Sunday, July 14 24 07:23 am EDT)

  This should have all been addressed during construction inspection. Massive inconsistencies for standards applied but let’s not forget everyone is looking for a raise or a promotion.

• Tom (Sunday, July 14 24 07:20 am EDT)

  Topstone is off-limits because Koloski is a firefighter and a city councilor. The music center is off-limits because of Nancy Merrill and Yoshi Manale. It is called government interference for the benefit of special interests. Public Safety does not matter to these people abusing their authority with the city..

• snappy (Saturday, July 13 24 10:12 pm EDT)

  After reading about some safety concerns at the Topstone and Music Center I am surprised that the new Fire Chief has not cleaned these messes up. Clean up the public safety fire code issues. The Chief and his assistant need to get this done.

  So odd not seeing some expose on the environmental drilling operations happening at Sweet Fire BBQ. Walking my dog yesterday I could hear the owner yelling at them to get off his property which they said they couldn't. Probably not Sullivan report worthy as it would prove all of Jim's attacks to be wrong against another landowner. Where is Joe Osgood demanding and encouraging people not to frequent the business due to environmental issues that he does not understand? Oh, the locally owned business is not owned by someone who gives his time serving for free on local boards. I understand. Speaking of I can't recall Jim ever volunteering for a single thing. No boards, no committees ever since he was voted out of office. Really odd watching a narcissist pout and stomp and tattle when they don't get their way.

  This is a response posted on a FB that seems to fit basically most articles written by InDepthNH and Damien Fisher. It is obvious that InDepthNH is a shield for Fisher to avoid deformation charges.

  Open Letter Response to InDepth.org 7/10/2024 article titled “Rats Overrun State Prison for Men in Concord, Conditions Called ‘Shocking’: Reports
  
  Today’s article by InDepthNH.org, written by Damien Fisher, shares an irresponsible and one-sided article to garner fear and cause alarm. For starters, the article references inspection reports going back five years, however, fails to make any mention of the monumental steps that the Department has taken to correct issues. In fact, the Department has no open violations in the October 2021, September 2022, May 2023, July 2023, or September 2023 reports.
  
  The article states “the Department of Corrections did not respond to a request for comment.” Mr. Fisher sent an email to the Department’s public information officer inbox around 1:15PM without indicating any deadline for a reply, a standard practice among journalists writing a quick story. Yet the article was published on InDepthNH.org around 3:30PM offering the department a little more than two hours to reply.
  
  Mr. Fisher writes that the facility has been cited “for violations at every inspection since 2019” which is inaccurate. Due to the hard work of NHDOC staff, contracted agencies and resident workers, the kitchen has corrected every noted violation on all kitchen inspections.
  
  Rodents have been a significant issue at the NH State Prison for Men, one the department has spent a great deal of time and resources mitigating. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the department was not experiencing a rodent issue. When many restaurants in downtown Concord closed down due to the pandemic, the prison became one of the only operational food sources and the rats sought out food at the prison.
  
  Further, I have not been shy about publicly sharing my concerns and the tremendous efforts made by department staff to mitigate the rodent issue. For months, I shared updates at Governor & Council meetings about the progress made in both the kitchen and with the rodents throughout the men’s prison while also providing tours to legislators that have asked to see the kitchen firsthand. The department, along with the assistance of pest control vendors, has identified several exterior points of entry for rodents to enter the kitchen area and these holes have been sealed.
  
  The department currently has its pest control vendor visiting the prison weekly to assist with checking the traps and making recommendations for additional remediations. The department’s vendor has even utilized rat terriers in an effort to capture rodents in the kitchen. While this attempt did lead to several captures, it was not the most successful method utilized thus far. The department began using a product called ContraPest in 2023, which has proven to be the most successful tool in battling the rodent issue in the kitchen. ContraPest, while not a poison, is a form of birth control for rodents, and we have noticed a significant decrease in the amount of rodent activity since the use of this product began. The department has implemented every idea presented to us by the vendors.
  
  Starting in September 2023, the department began contracting with professional cleaning companies to provide deep cleaning services for the kitchen, not to replace the daily cleaning that occurs. At present, this contract ensures the kitchen is deep cleaned on a quarterly basis.
  
  There is water leaking from the ceiling in the kitchen, which the department is currently managing by using tarps with hoses to divert the water into trash barrels, this has been frequently presented as imagines in the department’s request for capital budget resources. The leaking of the roof is currently being worked on as part of a separate capital project, where we are replacing the existing concrete walkway/plaza deck above the kitchen which doubles as the kitchen roof, which was a poor construction decision originally given our four seasons. This will include the removal of the existing walkway surface and insulation layers, repairs to existing drainage, and installation of new insulation and lock-down pavers.
  
  While our current conditions in the kitchen at the NH State Prison for Men are challenging, the department takes this issue with the seriousness that is requires and is making every effort to address any concerns as quickly as possible while also recognizing we have a responsibility to serve more than 3,000 healthy and safe meals to residents every day.
  
  We are excited by today’s Governor and Council vote to contract the existing $10 million allocated to begin the process of replacing the NH State Prison for Men. We are encouraged by the Governor’s continued strong advocacy, and the legislature’s recent approval of $40 million in bonding authority given to the Department of Corrections that will enable us to complete the planning and engineering for a replacement for the NH State Prison for Men. Prison design has come a long way since the NH State Prison for Men was built in 1878. The Department is excited that we are one step closer to providing a better environment for staff, as well as a more rehabilitative space for residents.

• Mike (Tuesday, July 09 24 05:03 pm EDT)

  Look at what happens to those who draw Jim’s ire and ignore it. Did Jim keep the bike shop from moving into Arrowhead? Has he gotten Nick Koloski remove from the council? Did he keep the ink factory from moving into the JSL? Has he gotten Merrill or Manale fired?

  Did everyone notice that Melissa Richmond only threw shade on Jim Sullivan's article without offering any specifics of any possible errors. She also did not comment on the $2.3 million earmark, why she did not announce receiving that huge stack of money and why city officials still think they need to raise money to finish the building renovation when her organization has the funds to do it. As John O'Connor likes to say this does not pass the smell test.

• Melissa Richmond (Tuesday, July 09 24 03:17 pm EDT)

  Dear Mr. Sullivan (and readers),
  
  Thank you for your interest in our project. I’m sorry that you feel the need to insult and disparage with negative intent people who are working with only great intentions and care for the community. We are very proud of the responsible and smart ways that we have leveraged the limited resources we have to do something incredible for the community. All of the correct information about these projects is readily available, publicly reported, and in full compliance with requirements. Some of the funding sources and project details are very complicated- though quite common for those experienced in this area- it is easy to be confused, and easier to be mislead by those that feed off of negativity and arrogance. The actual information is available from credible sources. I would urge you to consider why you feel the need to spend your time spreading negativity in a community that is trying to overcome decades of very difficult economic and social challenges. We need to move past toxic attitudes and see just how far we have grown in the last few decades. It’s truly staggering, and we should be very proud of the work we have done in Claremont. Is there more to do? Surely. Is it good to watch and keep people accountable? Absolutely. But that’s not what this report is about. Maybe try to not judge from ignorance or your desire to feel powerful through hurting others. We’re all on the same team trying to live and thrive in this lovely community. Please do not continue to misrepresent me, my organization, or this project that I and my incredible team of colleagues have spent 10 years laboring with great love over. This is a time to celebrate and support this incredible new asset in Claremont.
  
  Please note: I will not be monitoring this forum, and so if there are actual questions for us you should use our official channels.
  
  Sincerely,
  Melissa Richmond

• William (Monday, July 08 24 06:35 am EDT)

  Our city government is corrupt. Elected and appointed officials pervert the truth and abuse their authority to push a political agenda that always costs the taxpayers money, wasted resources and precious time. Claremont will never thrive with these people in charge. Nancy Merrill, Yoshi Manale and the CDA Directors are at the core of this untenable situation with 56 Opera House Square. The music center is broke as their tax filings indicate so what was Melissa Richmond and her Board of Directors thinking when they placed themselves in this precarious situation of responsibility for a building they cannot hope to remain within as the burden of expenses is far too great. Melissa Richmond and Nancy Merrill have set the music center, the CDA and the city up for complete failure. The price of that failure is $875,000 that we the taxpayers may have to bear. Our city councilors allowed this travesty to happen. Nicholas Koloski has been on the city council for far too long. Nancy Merrill should never have authorized the occupancy permit for this derelict building at 56 Opera House Square. I agree with James Sullivan that the Topstone building occupancy permits are a reasonable comparison as a 2% building good rating certified by professional property assessors should force the building to be condemned for public safety reasons. The environmental issues with the property further support the rationale for condemning the Topstone building. How anyone cannot see the correlation between Councilman Nicholas Koloski’s occupancy permits for his three businesses and his status as a councilman is beyond me. This shows a pattern of behavior from Nancy Merrill’s office of political favors for politically connected individuals without any concern for public safety. The city councilors are responsible for allowing this to happen by not performing their due diligence to protect the interests of their constituents the citizenry of our community. Nicholas Koloski and Andrew O’Hearne bear more responsibility as they agreed to transfer the property to the CDA and support the community development block grant of $500,000 for the renovation project that we the taxpayers may need to reimburse the government for if this project fails. In my view James Sullivan did our community a great service by exposing the truth and taking it one step further by reaching out to Senator Jeanne Shaheen informing her of the situation and asking for her help to ensure that the $2,300,000 federal earmark that she obtained for this project is spent properly to finish the renovation project of the building. I agree with Mr. Sullivan that something appears to be wrong as a sudden $2,300,000 windfall for this project is kept a secret for two months, city officials are unaware of how the money may be spent and no forward progress has been made towards completing the renovation project now that adequate funds have been secured. I am confident that Senator Shaheen and her staff will get to the bottom of this and the renovation project will be completed thanks to Mr. Sullivan’s actions. City leaders were aware of this $2,300,000 earmark so I fail to see why they did not take action to move this project forward and allowed two months to lapse when the roof is leaking and causing further damage to the building that will only serve to increase repair costs and the unsafe conditions within the building.

  It follows along with my survey.
  
  Should Robert Merrill realize he is running for state rep and states reps Gage nothing to do with the local parks and rec or city fees?
  
  Should Robert Merrill move back to Newport where he cried about all kinds of issues that he didn't understand?
  
  Should Robert Merrill live in Claremont for more than 3 months before trying to pretend he can represent all of us and the region?
  
  Should Robert Merrill use complete sentences?

• Dan (Sunday, June 30 24 07:00 pm EDT)

  Jim is a true Democrat, flip flopping like a fish out of water. He condemns Nick, but does the exact same thing. Claremont doesn’t need either of you! Maybe Jim should give out free cucumbers and gain the public’s support.

• Steve (Sunday, June 30 24 06:27 pm EDT)

  I see Nick Koloski is in rare form going after Jim again using false names to try to prop Nick up as a terrific Councilor when he is one of the worst ever. Keep writing those fake postings Nick we know it's you.

• Local Property Owner (Sunday, June 30 24 06:11 pm EDT)

  Did you actually watch the meeting? Koloski said absolutely nothing about safety and flaggers. I have to chime in here as I just got a call about this garbage page. Perhaps you and your readers should refer to the Eagle Times front page article where they accurately represent what factually went on at the meeting. You can tell in your article the buildup prior to your false statements blinded your ability to follow along with actual events. He requested that someone look at the bids as the flagging quote was 100k plus in one over the other and suspected it was an error Jim. I also agree with him that we just paid to have the Walmart intersection paved less than 3 years ago. Why rip it up? Perhaps you should buy the current Eagle Times.

• Pete (Sunday, June 30 24 05:59 pm EDT)

  Jim Sullivan are you bipolar? I see you are raising issue name calling and saying O'Hearne should have recused himself but let's go back to your prior newsflash when a councilor inquired if an honest mistake was made when his boyfriend applied for the planning board seat he holds currently. He boyfriends business address via the state is Ohearnes house address. You trashed the councilor member because he called it into question. Now it's a different story. Why would the same council member call it into question when not another member backed him the first time on it? Even you trashed him for doing so. This greatly proves my point. You talk out both sides of your mouth. I call the people I voted for perhaps once a month with questions or concerns. I called one today and they have zero knowledge of any conversation of a new or altered tif and suggested it was a few council members in their one on one quarter sessions with the city manager. He was pissed that this would be even a topic without the body discussing it in public with a presentation. Try asking anyone of them before posting. Oh, wait. That would not fit your name calling tirade ad a fake journalist.

• Andy Needs to go (Sunday, June 30 24 05:47 pm EDT)

  Or temper tantrum because his live in boyfriend did not get selected to be the new council member. Any meeting he does attend he does not follow along and either texts or plays on his computer. Watch the meetings and you will see. Protest over the budget. One would have to attend any of the budget hearings and he attended 1 maybe out of all of them? Time to move on Andrew.

• Fact (Sunday, June 30 24 04:49 pm EDT)

• Gary T. (Thursday, June 27 24 11:18 am EDT)

  Nice try. Public documents on the webage show something different than your fake email witch hunt. The one where you pretend you are an insider but really owe the city a boatload of money in a court judgemental. The building inspector took job in Leb for $35,000 more dollars per year. The job opening was posting and a guy with credentials applied. Your point? There is still another opening as that inexperienced person didn't get moved up to number 1 so they moved on. Again, your point. I pull a permit per week and they guys were all very open with my contractors over pay and workload. If they didn't have to deal with lovers like you daily and argue in court then maybe less money here would have been fine. I went to the city website to find the Washington Street paving quotes. The council member on the right made a comment about that last night. Something does seem way off. How can traffic control be 100,000 plus dollars different in bids?

  We just went through a revaluation in Claremont and single family home took a hit. Business got a break. Now we need to redo Washington Street. Washington Street is a main line into Claremont for trucks going most businesses in Claremont city wide. If business was fairly assessed they would be supporting the infrastructure they use for trucks and customers to get to them.

• Gravedigger (Monday, June 24 24 08:53 am EDT)

  It is interesting to learn the pastures/property around the former Tenney estate are contaminated. It looked so scenic and clean and pure. So of the chemicals present, I am of hte understanding arsenic is a naturally present compound and especially near water, and is everywhere. Lead on the other hand is not. My question, is this lead due to recent industrial activity or from the former industries on the River road i.e. Tambrands, Joy, etc.? Or could have this lead possibly been present from activities in the area centuries ago? Interesting quandry. Begs the question should the city test all the lots it owns for contamination? I'll bet you could test anywhere in the state and find some contamination with the soil. They recently released research on the effects of the chemical train derailment in OH and found the smoke contaminated 16 states. I am sure many of you remember the acid rain killing many trees in the 70s due to smoke from the steel mills. And today we have a big pine tree dieoff occuring which nobody knows what the cause is. Though I have read recently pine trees are one of the biggest polluters of our air if you can believe that!

  The industrial park at Ashley's Landing is contaminated and the CDA tried to sell some of that property to Mikros. Did Nancy Merrill and the CDA board members know that it was polluted land when they tried to sell it? Is the industrial land at Syd Clarke Park contaminated too? Is the CDA and Nancy Merrill hiding that?

  Rob why don't you just admit that you are Nick Koloski because we all know that you are. Every time Jim writes an article that even mildly criticizes Nick Koloski someone immediately jumps on the forum to defend him and they always have insider knowledge. What are the odds? Everyone knows Nick Koloski has a fragile ego and he cannot take criticism no matter how slight. Take what Rob and other made up posters write about how wonderful Nick Koloski is with a grain of salt because it is all made up stuff.

• Rob (Sunday, June 23 24 10:42 am EDT)

  More not factual garble. Good job Jimbo. When you use special kind of stupid do you look in the mirror each time? It is funny that I actually speak to councilors and get a different take when asking direct questions or sharing my concerns without calling them stupid. I can tell you without hesitation that it does not matter what you email council members as more then 3 have told me you go to spam. You must be some higher level of self importance if you think your emails are factors in decisions. It is a simple man's mindset that any decisions must have been influenced by his writings. Allen Whipple looked nuts and is the reason the city is where it is playing catch up. Congrats. You will need to cite more than old man whiner Blouin as the more he and you bitch to or at Koloski the more favorable he is. You trashed for all 15 years he has been elected. Good job elevating his status. I was outside the community center for the meeting and after he was answering questions. Maybe you should attend. You would know his Walmart lawsuit information comes from conversation with Walmart corporate. He worked for them for a while in several New England stores a decade or so ago. I do not recall. He explained details when asked. Too bad you don't attend meetings or share what was actually said about the types of assessments councilors would favor. This not being one of them.

  Jim,
  Your only recourse is to sue the City. The City (Yosi) will continue to stonewall you on your RTK requests because they can and you don’t have the “balls” to take them to court.
  So stop complaining and start doing something!
  To my knowledge Rep. Stapleton has some health issues and that is why he is not seeking re-election. I’ve known Walter for over 25 years, he is a man of integrity and has a strong moral compass.
  I want to thank the Honorable Walter Stapleton for his commitment to the Citizens of Claremont and wish him a speedy recovery.
  It’s nice to see the Honorable Mr. Whipple speaking at a meeting, his logic and common sense is a breath of fresh air and I hope he continues to share his wisdom with this inept Council.
  I’d also like to congratulate Mr. Hemingway and Mr. Simonds on their well deserved retirement, Thank you for your service.

  Nancy the snowflake can't see how the councilors and Ed Morris destroyed downtown Claremont by making Pleasant Street narrower and one way. There is less traffic downtown now and the business trade is almost dead. The councilors did the same thing to the community center with the sky high price increases.

  You suck Bill. Direcrors, assistant directors, life guards, front desk people work a JOB just like you (assuming you work and dont suck the system and pretend to be oppressed by it)
  The people who you think are obligated didn't agree to protect and serve in time of "emergency" as part of the CSBCC JOB or is that shit included in the pay for position.

  John, have you seen the hours Newport has their cooling centers open? Less hours than Claremont.

• Fact (Thursday, June 20 24 12:08 pm EDT)

  John does have a valid point

• John J. O’Connor (Thursday, June 20 24 10:01 am EDT)

  Seems like I’m in this battle alone but that has never mattered before and it won’t matter now.
  The idea that the city is preforming a huge humanitarian effort by allowing the citizens of Claremont to enter their tax payer funded Community Center during a Heat Emergency during their normal business hours is ridiculous, the emergency doesn’t end just because they are closed.
  An Emergency Center, during an emergency should be open until that emergency is determined to be over or it’s not an Emergency Center.

• Insider (Thursday, June 20 24 05:35 am EDT)

  Jim, this is the long play. When Nancy retires (soon), Joel will get the director position. The department will sway from economic development to enforcement. Watch for increased staffing and heavy crack down on violators that don’t share the ideals of the ruling class. The details are in the emails you refuse to request. You want good stories, emails & text messages are the place to go.

• Insider (Thursday, June 20 24 05:31 am EDT)

  how about collect the back taxes owed and use that money that is great idea instead of special taxing certain business or go after ones that just travel thru only way is tolls Ill donate the booths we could use the warming huts from arrowhead back years ago may need some new plywood or did tim sell those or take them home

  100 Percent walmart Should but to even give anybody else a bill is completely crazy but expect nothing else from this group of pandering left wing nuts is Daddy Dale included with his ambulances? pretty close to washington street his property is excempt ? and lets bill all the BIG TRUCKS SPECIAL we could set up a stop on broad street to stop all trucks collect the fee and one at the dump and one at the mayors office ambulance garage city employees can collect tolls as we see fit let the priuses and the pride flag people all go free no charge just working people can pay that is how everything else works maybe set up a welfare division and they can pay the fees for the people who sit on there ass and do drugs and hang out in pajamas

• Uncle_Baby_Billy (Wednesday, June 19 24 09:53 am EDT)

  The only bs is that Walmart still isn’t paying more. They have a special assessment based solely on the fact their corporation serves to create a middle class for China.

  John no pleasant st owners paid nothing extra matter of fact the goddard that was rehabbed with grants receives free or reduced taxes for 5 or 10 years the same one I see our services at quite regularly so awesome decision making to the group that did that all these council memebers are blow hards that have never accomplished a thing in there life lets give them the checkbook to the city to fuck up. now no tax revenue and we cant get thru town due to a main part of the roads taken away to one way!!!! good idea We can all pay extra taxes as they remove the tax for some out of town property owner good idea !!!!!!

  I am not happy about the idea of the CDA making a non-profit to buy a downtown building for a business center. It will take another building off the tax list so how is that going to help keep our taxes down? Nancy Merrill and the CDA members have screwed up everything they have touched. The new music center is a failure waiting to happen and has a good chance of costing taxpayers one million dollars to bail out because of the stupidity of the city leaders. How much money will this project end up costing you and me?

• John J. O’Connor (Tuesday, June 18 24 07:11 am EDT)

  H,
  That very well could be true, but then it shouldn’t be designated as an Emergency Center.
  It was my understanding, that designation was the reason why there is a huge generator sitting outside the building.
  I appreciate the City’s effort but it all window dressing.

• H (Tuesday, June 18 24 06:35 am EDT)

  John, Temps drop at night. Perhaps the community center is not equipped for people sleeping? As would probably happen if open night.

• John J. O’Connor (Monday, June 17 24 08:57 pm EDT)

  Ugh,
  In case of a fire emergency, either they close it down or an off duty member sits at the desk.
  My point is, if something is designated as an Emergency “anything” it should stay open for the duration of the emergency.
  What about the people who work during the day?
  It doesn’t have to be CFD, it could be the Director or his assistant or the City Manager, doesn’t matter who sits at the desk

  Got a question?
  What should be the hours of operation for a city’s designated emergency cooling station ?
  I see the Claremont Community Center is the City’s Emergency Cooling Location which is a good thing, what’s bad is the limited hours of operation.
  I’m sure the response will be a lack of personnel but why couldn’t members of the Fire Department be there ? Instead of sitting at the firehouse they could be set up at the Community Center during this “crisis”.

  Dare I say that he is still jaded because he was a completely useless term councilor who was sent packing at our first opportunity and he wants everyone to feel like he felt the day that the community told him that he just wasn't good enough. Must really be a punch to the gut seeing great people being voted in time and time again.

  Joel Tremblay is a snake. He used everyone and lied to everyone to get what he wanted. A job with the city with good pay and good benefits and easy-going managers who will not make him work too hard. When the Democrat leadership in Claremont here about this they will be livid. I doubt Mayor Girard will appreciate being used as a patsy by Yoshi and Tremblay The councilors should be angry at Yoshi for deceiving them again. Yoshi and Tremblay played them all for a bunch of fools. Why do the councilors keep Yoshi in his job? Lying to the bosses and getting caught should result with an immediate termination.

  Investing in roads is stupid. The government didn’t pay to maintain roads until recent history. Private citizens maintained roads for commerce and travel. The same for the school system. Privatize the majority of government services. Sell the city hall building and make it apartments.

• John J. O’Connor (Monday, June 10 24 08:44 pm EDT)

  It’s too early to evaluate Director Martin… but Yosi is fair game.
  The City Manager has been on the job long enough to know the lay of the land. It’s time to take the training wheels off the DPW Director and see if it’s now time to hire a professional.
  The City is coming to a crossroads and the decisions made today will vibrate for decades to come so the City Council better get a hold on the major issues affecting the average citizen.
  The City’s priorities should be :
  1. Roads
  2. Roads
  3. Roads.
  No other infrastructure projects should start until a majority of the roads have been repaired.

  You are so out of touch with rec and your ideas are fucking stupid considering the main issue is pay and staffing.

Justin Martin is a huge improvement to the last guy and i hope he cares more about providing quality recreation services at affordable prices rather than cut corners trying to make a community service profitable.

  I would like for someone to publish here or in front of City Council, the communities we extend mutual aid to….. years ago we had agreements with some VT and NH communities.? What has changed, except for sky rocketing taxes.

• Retired (Friday, June 07 24 08:19 am EDT)

  Awfly defensive of the ask Tyler for someone with no horse in the race. Yes, Charlestown calls mutual aid for 1st alarm fires. They use what are called run cards in a dispatch center. Oh, by the way before you continue to inform people who disagree with you that I am wrong or assume other departments are less skilled I retired as a dispatcher in NH. Claremont has not been on the run cards for fires in Charlestown for a considerable amount of time and have also been bypassed in a few VT communities to include the last structure fire in Windsor, VT. Claremont also would be called on a regular basis to Springfield, VT to act as a rapid intervention team for structure fires. They have been removed from all with no follow up from the Claremot Chief. I have that directly from my coworkers as I have not been out of the loop and still cover a few shifts. Mutual aid associations have monthly meetings. Claremonts attendance is slim. It almost comes across as arrogance. Here is to hoping for better follow up and working relationships with mutual aid. Word on the street is Claremont built a training facility at your department of public works. It is to be used by mutual aid. I am hoping to see that prove to be true.

• Tyler (Friday, June 07 24 06:09 am EDT)

  @Helen,
  You can believe what you want. I have no affiliations with any fire department whatsoever. I read on the news that the fatal fire was a mobile home. Generally you wouldn’t need mutual aid for such a fire unless other structures were threatened. Did Charlestown actually call mutual aid from some other town? RIP to the victim.

  Oh just stop Jim with your accusations about Manale and his administration. You somehow have had the exact same issues with every single city manager and council for 40 years. Manale is by far the most transparent and competent city manager other than Ryan McNutt.

• Jim Sullivan (Thursday, June 06 24 06:22 pm EDT)

  Helen, I have privately heard from quite a few local citizens similar comments about neighboring Fire Departments opting not to ever call the Claremont Fire Department for Mutual Aid Assistance because of the constant no-shows in an emergency by the Claremont Fire Department. Since the Manale Administration no longer answers questions, opting instead to only release documents subject to the Hampshire Right to Know Law, (after making me wait far longer than necessary to provide copies of documents, presumably because they don’t wish to see those documents published on my website anytime soon revealing their contents to the general public), I can’t simply ask if Claremont is responding to Municipal Aid Calls from other communities or if Claremont is receiving any municipally calls from other communities. Besides, even if I did ask, could I really trust the answer? Bear in mind the deceptive nature of the Claremont Savings Bank Community Center Finances PowerPoint Presentation that intentionally reduced past financial figures from prior years to fraudulently make the current financial numbers look good by comparison! Also remember how Yoshi deceptively overstated the amount of available Unassigned Fund Balance (The City’s Cash Reserves) on two different occasions. I did on more than one occasion make an inquiry to both Mutual Aid Organizations that the Claremont Fire Department belongs to asking if any of their members (Municipal Fire Departments) had stopped calling the Claremont Fire Department for Mutual Aid Assistance in an emergency? I never received an answer from either Mutual Aid Organization! I could not think of any other way to document what I have been told by so many residents, until now. Helen, thank you for giving me the idea to request Claremont Fire Department Reports for all Mutual Aid Calls to Charlestown New Hampshire ever since Chief Chamberlain became the Interim Fire Chief. I will write that request and submit it on Monday. Let’s see how long it takes the Manale Administration to release those documents or reply by stating that the City has no documents relevant to my request! Sometimes the absence of documented proof is in itself documented proof! Helen, thank you for reminding me that, I appreciate it.

• Ken (Thursday, June 06 24 12:52 pm EDT)

  Career firefighters would call volunteers incompetent. Your true colors are showing. So far within the ranks those that pushed for this new Chief just like the union prez Lizotte and Union Steward Stevens get bumped up the ladder. This is why the heavy push for a 2nd deputy? Old Dog had been pretty quiet after being outed as the Fire Chiefs father. Is this a new version of the good old boy network? My son happens to be career in NH and has seen this mentality in only the smallest of NH career departments. Those that are masters of their craft don't need to belittle volunteers. Some do it for the money and some because it is a calling.

• Helen (Thursday, June 06 24 10:24 am EDT)

  Tyler, you sure sound like a city employee. Today's fatal fire in Charlestown and the others on the townline and Claremont is not called upon. Doesn't matter the location. You don't need to mansplain emergency responses to me. Long line of fire service in our family. Maybe you are the fire chief defending your statement on correcting mutual aid responses to your superiors. You, sorry he was hired on the premise of fixing those situations. Doesn't pass the smell test here. Guess time will tell if Mr. Sullivan gets answers to the question. Your back to back posts seems pretty quick to arrive at a conclusion with no real information. Calm down Chief.

• Tyler (Thursday, June 06 24 08:27 am EDT)

  @Helen - really? So you're going to blame Claremont fire chief because Charlestown doesn't request Claremont Fire for mutual aid? Lol. Who's problem is that? And perhaps you don't realize Charlestown has quite a few miles of territory. If a fire happens in southern Charlestown, Walpole fire would be a lot closer than Claremont. Additionally, sometimes during a mutual aid call, the department making the call will request a specific type of apparatus - say a tanker or a ladder - and not every department has one of these available to respond. Beyond that, let's just say that not all departments perform 'equally' in terms of competency. Sometimes small volunteer departments don't want to call full-time professional departments because it makes them look as incompetent as they are.

• Tyler (Thursday, June 06 24 08:19 am EDT)

  @Helen, you're looking for a smoking gun that doesn't exist with the truck transfer. Each department has their own budget. If Fire bought the truck new and then sold it to Highway (Airport is part of Fire), then Highway pays the current value of the truck out of their budget to make Fire whole. (Keep in mind if Fire sold the truck to a third party, whatever proceeds from the sale would go back into their budget as revenue). This is standard accounting practice. Instead of promoting a conspiracy, instead be happy the various departments are making use of of 15-20 year old pickup which is still in decent condition and not requesting taxpayer money for a brand new truck.

• Helen (Thursday, June 06 24 08:15 am EDT)

  This doesn't tie into that. Those were openly discussed at meetings and explained about bidding process. I happen to watch all the meetings. Mr. Sullivan please note the fire chief was supposed to be graded on mutual aid response and building those partnerships. He represented that all is well during his budget presentation yet that is not factual. It is upsetting to see false information. Currently I am listening to my scanner and our closest neighbor which is Charlestown has a 1st alarm fire. They do not call upon Claremont. This isn't the first fire that is close to the town line that they will not call upon Claremont for assistance. He has nor fixed that relationship and response. Apparently Yoshi doesn't ask many questions and just takes everyone's word. My grandson is on that fire department and says Claremont has been removed from what are called run cards which are towns you call upon for assistance. You could ask how many fires Claremont has responded to in Charlestown for the past 2 years. You will see many under this Chiefs tenure. He should have been honest with the council and public during his budget presentation.

• T@gmail.com (Wednesday, June 05 24 08:12 pm EDT)

  This may tie in to the purchase of 2 brand new Ford vehicles by the Planning department. They have no markings and it makes no sense for that department to have 2 brand new rigs. A fancy Bronco? What’s wrong with a little budget car to go around once a month.

• Jim Sullivan (Wednesday, June 05 24 03:40 pm EDT)

  I agree Rick, I intend to do precisely that and report the answers I receive once I receive them. It could take a while as the Manale Administration is greatly slowing down response times.

• Rick (Wednesday, June 05 24 02:45 pm EDT)

  Well I guess someone should 91a request the amount of times money has gone towards this vehicle. They say follow the money.

• Helen (Wednesday, June 05 24 02:43 pm EDT)

  From what I gather the one that as discussed at the meeting I watched was the red pickup truck parked behind city hall. It was a fire department truck that went to the airport and then to highway and then to the water department and now city hall is buying it from the water department for $7500.00. So you are telling me it is standard accounting to raise an amount of money in a budget on the tax rate and keep spending the dollars buying the same truck over and over again? I don't follow. So if you tell me you need $47,000 and the tax payer pays that in full we pay in every single time a department purchased the same truck? Sounds crazy to me.

• You sure, bruh? (Wednesday, June 05 24 11:25 am EDT)

  What vehicle was bought interdepartmentally? Are you sure you are not referencing the new red painted city trucks? Because they went from yellow to red with these last replacements.

• Tim Mulligan (is back) (Wednesday, June 05 24 04:50 am EDT)

  It’s an accounting standard to “buy” a vehicle between departments. Guess what, if one of your hands gives the other a dollar you still have the dollar. Basic concept.

• Helen (Tuesday, June 04 24 09:24 pm EDT)

  So we buy vehicles and then sell them from department to department. Is that correct? How da hell does that happen? So a 40k truck from the fd goes to another department for another payment with my tax money. It then goes to 2 more departments being bought from tax dollars from those departments. What? Did I follow that correctly?

  The last posting that I wrote was at 5:44 AM this morning just before I headed out to work. I can always tell when I really irk someone based on the postings on this Public Forum. Reading the postings from today (with the exception of the posting from Tony Baker) was very entertaining, total bull shit but very entertaining nonetheless. Someone has a very creative imagination. Whoever wrote these postings thank you for doing so, you gave me a real good laugh.
  
  Insider, if something is time sensitive there is really little I can do. My reporting requires right to know requests which now takes weeks because the Manale Administration is slowing down the time it takes for them to simply copy documents to a flash drive. The slowdown is most definitely intentional because they are trying to keep this information out of my hands for as long as possible because they know I will publish the documents and reveal their secrets to the public. Secrets that these City Officials do not want revealed. If email does not work for you then write a letter and do not sign up and mail it to me to 24 Factory St. here in Claremont. This is the best I can do.

  The Financial Fallout of Constant City Employee Disruptions
  
  In the bustling town of Claremont, city employees are facing an unexpected and costly challenge: the daily interruptions and disruptions caused by Jim Sullivan, the eccentric owner of The Sullivan Report. While his antics may provide the town with a hearty laugh, the financial repercussions of his constant meddling are no laughing matter.
  
  The Cost of Distraction
  
  City staff members, who are tasked with managing vital public services, find their productivity severely hampered by Jim’s daily barrage of bizarre questions and impromptu rants. Each interaction, whether it’s a lengthy interrogation about a non-existent squirrel census or a demand for an investigation into “asphalt cartels,” pulls employees away from their crucial tasks.
  
  A city employee who wished to remain anonymous estimates that Jim’s interruptions consume roughly 10 hours of staff time per week. “Every time he shows up, it’s at least an hour gone, often more,” she says. “When you add up all the time we spend dealing with his antics, it’s a significant hit to our productivity.”
  
  Monetary Implications
  
  The financial impact of these distractions is substantial. When city employees are forced to spend time entertaining Jim’s whims, they are diverted from their primary duties, resulting in delays and inefficiencies. This loss of productivity can be quantified in terms of lost wages and overtime pay needed to catch up on delayed work.
  
  An analysis by the town’s financial officer reveals that the cost of these disruptions amounts to approximately $1,000 per week in lost productivity. Over the course of a year, this adds up to a staggering $52,000—a significant sum for a small town operating on a tight budget.
  
  Delayed Projects and Increased Costs
  
  In addition to the immediate costs of lost productivity, Jim’s constant interruptions lead to delayed project timelines. Essential infrastructure projects, such as road repairs and public facility maintenance, often fall behind schedule as city staff are pulled away to handle his antics. These delays can result in increased project costs due to extended labor needs and potential penalties for missed deadlines.
  
  A public works employee points out, “When we’re constantly sidetracked, projects take longer to complete, and that means higher costs. We’ve seen a 10-15% increase in project expenses this year alone due to these delays.”
  
  Strain on Employee Morale
  
  Beyond the financial implications, there’s the toll on employee morale. City workers, already stretched thin, experience increased stress and frustration from the constant disruptions. This strain can lead to higher turnover rates and increased training costs for new hires.
  
  An anonymous town employee said, “We’ve had a noticeable uptick in staff turnover. Dealing with Jim’s daily disruptions adds a layer of stress that many employees find difficult to manage. Replacing experienced workers and training new ones is both time-consuming and costly.”
  
  A Call for Boundaries
  
  While the townspeople may appreciate Jim Sullivan’s unique brand of humor, the financial burden of his daily disruptions is a serious issue that Claremont cannot afford to ignore. Setting clear boundaries and implementing measures to limit unnecessary interruptions could help mitigate these costs and allow city employees to focus on their essential duties.
  
  In conclusion, while Jim Sullivan’s antics may bring a smile to many faces in Claremont, the town must address the significant financial impacts of his constant disruptions. By finding a balance between indulging his eccentricities and protecting the productivity and morale of city employees, Claremont can ensure a more efficient and cost-effective administration.

  The Sullivan Report:
  
  Chronicles of a Quirky Crusader
  
  In the small City of Claremont, the name Jim Sullivan has become synonymous with chaos, confusion, and, oddly enough, laughter. The owner and self-proclaimed editor-in-chief of The Sullivan Report, Jim has managed to turn what could have been a respectable news site into a circus of hilarity and high jinks.
  
  A Day in the Life of Jim Sullivan
  
  Jim’s day typically begins with a series of alarm malfunctions. Despite owning no less than six alarm clocks, he never quite manages to get up on time. His neighbors have become accustomed to the cacophony of blaring alarms followed by a series of loud thuds and colorful language as Jim attempts to start his day.
  
  The Perpetual Thorn in the Side of City Hall
  
  Once Jim eventually makes it to his cluttered office, the real fun begins. His favorite pastime? Harassing city staff and volunteers with a barrage of bizarre and nonsensical inquiries. City Clerk Gwen Melcher recounts with exasperation, “Jim once spent an entire afternoon demanding to know if the town had plans to implement a 'squirrel census.' When we told him no, he accused us of being anti-squirrel and started a one-man protest outside City Hall.”
  
  The Volunteer Fiasco
  
  Jim’s interactions with local volunteers are legendary. Take the time he decided to join a park cleanup event. Armed with a broken rake and a beach umbrella, Jim spent most of the day lecturing other volunteers on the historical significance of park benches while managing to avoid any actual work. By the end of the day, he had not only disrupted the cleanup but also somehow managed to get his beach umbrella stuck in a tree.
  
  The Report That Reads Like Fiction
  
  The articles on The Sullivan Report are a reflection of Jim’s eccentricity. Headlines like “Local Post Office Secretly Training Carrier Pigeons” and “Mayor’s Cat Suspected of Embezzlement” are par for the course. His investigative methods are equally unconventional. For his exposé on potholes, Jim spent three days in a trench coat and sunglasses, measuring potholes and interrogating bewildered pedestrians about their possible connections to “the asphalt cartel.”
  
  Community Reactions
  
  Surprisingly, the townspeople have developed a sort of fondness for Jim’s antics. Local business owner Sarah Thompson says, “Sure, he’s a bit of a nuisance, but he’s our nuisance. The town would be boring without his wild theories and ridiculous campaigns. Plus, he’s good for a laugh.”
  
  Conclusion
  
  In the end, Jim Sullivan may not be the hard-hitting journalist he imagines himself to be, but he’s certainly made his mark on Claremont. Through his bumbling efforts and relentless enthusiasm, he’s provided the town with a constant source of amusement and an endless supply of stories to tell.
  
  So, here’s to Jim Sullivan, Claremont’s resident mischief-maker and the unlikely hero of The Sullivan Report. Long may his alarm clocks ring, and his beach umbrellas fly.

  First of all, I did not write any of those postings attributed to me on Monday and the Francis Gauthier posting is also a phony. It is a shame that people resort to deceptive tactics to try to discredit this website and deceive the public instead of debating the issues. Of course, that would be very difficult for them to do since the indisputable facts that I publish with the documented proof are not on their side as they wish to create a false narrative to try to get the public to believe that everything is going fine when it clearly is not.

  Its hard to tolerate how he drags innocents into his muck-raking with zero fact checking. For those who do participate even a little in city goverment, it's clear to see he has no regard for the betterment of Claremont with his shotgun spray strategy at shock jock Jornalizim. He aims only to discredit and tear down.

• Gravedigger (Friday, May 31 24 11:02 am EDT)

  Kind of sad to see all these nonsense posts. Sullivan is trying to keep the people of Claremont informed of what their local government is doing and all these so called writers here can do here, is make this forum a laughing stock and spout ridiculous comments. The man does this on his own time, and at his expense. Maybe you don't agree with Jim's style or don't like the man at all, but he has a right as you all do, to speak his mind. He seems to care. This is exactly why this town is in the ditch, non serious people ridicuing a citizen trying to make a difference. Maybe it's not the way you would do it, but what''s stopping you? If you don't like his methods, or words, offer a better solution, or better yet, go form your own blog or web page or show up at council meetings or write your local politicians and voice your thoughts. Or even run for office yourself. Or are you just content to just sit there while government continues to ram your cost of living further up your ass? I can see the strategy here, shitposting nonsense to diminish the seriousness and effectiveness of the blog by making light of the forum author. I myself, don't always agree with what he says or how he says it, but it's his right, and I can respect his courage to his opinions on the town politicians and government. He makes many valid points and catches a lot of underhanded and sometimes non-intended mistakes the council and city management is doing. Sometimes they don't even know what they are doing it. So it is quite educational. He definitely does his research. My only criticism would be sometime his personal comments of who he is writing about are overly harsh, he could lower the rhetoric. Be less dramatic. I'd like to think all who are in sevice to the city in any capacity really care, and are really trying to serve the city as best they can. But there are some who just don't always make the true commitment to learn the position in depth or realize the scope or consequences of their actions or non actions. It would be nice to see some serious solutions here instead of ridicule. Be well all.

  liveD is a moron, learn how to spell. The biggest majority of atheists and satanists is white middle age men. That’s a fact. So get your bigotry out of our faces. Paul Eneche is an African preacher, in Africa. As a matter of fact the biggest Christian churches are in Africa and Asia. The oldest church - Ethiopia.
  
  Stop pushing your hatred. I guarantee you are frustrated white man. Second guess, frustrated white female. Third guess…just a troll.

  The members of the church of Satan do more good and are more accepting than most christians. That's fact.
  
  When you only do good for fear of retribution, you aren't a good person.We don't need to be patted on the head and told we are doing right or wrong. We just do what's right. We accept people who aren't like us - unlike you zealots.

• Discouraged (Monday, May 27 24 07:38 pm EDT)

  So let’s get this straight. The Fire Chief, needs two deputies? One for code enforcement, and one for airport operations??
  
  That is crazy, as the airport has about 2 or 3 local private planes each day practicing landing and take-offs.
  
  You can’t convince me we need a new Deputy Chief. Firefighter Rapp the current #2, needs to step up and help the new Chief run the department. Team-up in management roles.
  
  Also, what the heck is wrong with the fire truck with the rusted frame.? The boys had better start washing and flushing the underside. Is this one of the trucks from Florida, and not undercoated properly?

• Jill (Monday, May 27 24 04:59 pm EDT)

  Right "Kevin" the only reader to this illustrious forum that would counter Jim would be Koloski. Save that brain cell to try and get off welfare buddy. Simple minds wouldn't understand the food chain.

• Keith (Monday, May 27 24 02:08 pm EDT)

  The new Fire Chief is different from his predecessors. He feels entitled to special perks. He does not want to manage the city airport as his predecessors did. Deputy Chief Rapp does fire code inspections. The new Fire Chief once a second Deputy Chief to manage the city airport and Yoshi Manale is okay with that. The councilors already approved the fire department budget once and they will do it again at the budget hearing without any changes. All these new jobs and they will be voted in by the dingbat councilors we have today.

• Smokey (Monday, May 27 24 01:51 pm EDT)

  Insider, I would asked the Fire Chief that question about fire code inspections. I am sure his apartment complex is in full compliance. Wouldn’t you??
  
  The fire department is fully staffed to check code compliance within our City

• Insider (Monday, May 27 24 12:37 pm EDT)

  When was the last time Jim’s apartment building was inspected for code compliance by the fire code inspector And building inspector? Maybe never. That might be why he refuses to look into the code guys.

• BigDog (Monday, May 27 24 12:18 pm EDT)

  I agree with Snappy. We do not need more middle management in any department. Especially the Fire-Police-DPW. “No way” if the Assistant Chief can’t do the Chiefs job in his absence, how did he survive so many years in the Fire Union, several chiefs, and now quite some time as the assistant?
  
  I agree the assistant must fill in during the chiefs unavailability.. Chain of command is important. Chief, Assistant Chief, Majors, Captains, Lieutenants,Fire Fighters, etc
  
  So what is the issue?? If not qualified he is one expensive staff personnel.
  A new Deputy Chief is an end around the system that the last 3 Chiefs did not seem necessary.
  
  Union pork as I see it, and Yoshi should as well. I don’t think most tax payers are in sink with.

  Why would Yoshi and the Council allow for an organizational change at the Fire department???
  We have an Assistant Chief in Brian Rapp, who does fire Code enforcement. Rapp is a long time firefighter, and should be able to rise to that of a Chief. Perhaps Rapp needs more things to do, as in that of Special projects and assignments.
  
  Does the Police have two Assistant Chiefs? Does DPW have two assistant Directors? Does planning have any assistants? Welfare may, and Parks may.
  It sounds like the good ole boys in the Fire Union have the Chief under their thumb! !
  Claremont wake up, we don’t need more growth in our small City. This re-alignment is pork barrel and Union driven. Signed Snappy

  Sounds like sour grapes from Deb Matteau. OF COURSE the councilors do not like anything Jim writes because he exposes the truth about them, shows the documented facts and it gives the councilors no political cover at all to hide under. The councilors lie to us all the time Jim exposes those lies and shows us the truth. Deb if you could convince your colleagues to make it a practice to always tell the truth and begin representing what is best for the citizens and start treating the citizens with respect by answering their questions at citizens forum and actually talking to them instead of ignoring them at citizens forum then maybe the citizens would have a higher opinion of all of you. Something to think about.

  Deb, thank you for setting the record straight regarding Florida. I appreciate it.
  
  In regards to Jim Texts, that was not me who wrote that as I always use my name when posting anything on the Public Forum. However, it was a valid point raised because several Councilors are looking at their electronic devices during the meetings and it creates the appearance that they are not paying attention or even mildly interested in the meeting but then they have no problem voting after not paying attention to what was being either explained or discussed.

  To Jim Sullivan: In your weekly news flash on the council meeting, you stated "several of my readers reported that myself and my husband plan to move to Florida. Perhaps I am house hunting....will I fulfill my term. Time will tell." Well, as usual you can manage to take unproven "hearsay" and twist it into speculation and inuendo, raising completely unwarranted suspicion in the minds of voters. These readers (who clearly can't discern between fact and fiction) are dead wrong. I have never once told ANYONE that I had any plans to move to Florida....couldn't be further from the truth. I vacation there annually, but my home is Claremont. Its truly unfortunate that you spend countless hours denigrating anyone who chooses to serve their community in any fashion. It's easy to hide behind a keyboard and throw pot shots, huh? I can't count how many different insults you have hurled at me personally. Many councilors have little respect for what is written here because its done with such malice. You and your readers have cost the city thousands and thousands of dollars on meaningless 91-A requests finding nothing. If you or your readers truly want to make a difference, get out from behind your keyboards, and volunteer or run for office. Also, to "Jim Texts" who wrote a week or so ago, noting that councilors check their phones during the meeting. Yes, I do check my phone. I am a Type I diabetic who wears a glucose monitor 24/7, and it reads out on my phone. I have to check it occasionally to avoid highs and lows, which I need to treat immediately....not that its any of your reader's business, but thought I would stop further speculation.

  Rumor has it that they are going to create a special float in my honor for the alumni parade. I’ve heard there will be ticker tape and that Queen with Adam Lambert will share the float with me while performing “We Are the Champions”.
  
  I will graciously accept this invitation and expect to see a record crowd because of this.
  
  You’re welcome, Claremont!

  Jims apartment building is an actual code violation. The inspectors should not allow an apartment building to operate with a roof leak and by city ordinance it should be ordered repaired. Double standard? Protected class?

• John J. O’Connor (Wednesday, May 15 24 12:29 pm EDT)

  Hahahaha… good one..
  But you forgot about Jim’s appearance on American idol and Survivor.

• Chode McGee - Author: Sullivan Biography (Wednesday, May 15 24 08:00 am EDT)

  From his bio page:
  
  Jim Sullivan was born to Fred and Irma Sullivan on July 4, 1962 in Claremont New Hampshire.
  
  His childhood was typical for a kid who resembled the offspring of Shrek and Princess Fiona. Jim spent lots of time in and around swamps, catching frogs and other swamp animals and cooking them (alive) over an open fire.
  
  In Jim's teen years he attended Claremont Junior High School and Stevens High School where his major focus was centered around hiding in the bathroom and plotting (not getting, just plotting) revenge against all those who he felt did him wrong.
  
  After high school Jim held many different jobs but the one he was most proud of was his creation of this blog. Many do not know, but Jim actually is paid handsomely by various local interest groups to attack and defame their political opposition.
  
  Jim, of course, jumped on this opportunity and took full advantage of the situation, causing strife to city volunteers and staff as well as costing taxpayers thousands of dollars per year to pay for his RTK requests. Jim takes extra pride knowing that he is the thorn in the side of the leaders of this city.
  
  Jim did serve on the Claremont city council for one term, where he accomplished many things. Far too many to list here.
  
  In his spare time Jim likes to collect rainwater in buckets in his living room caused by the holes in the tarps that currently serve as the roof of his factory st apartment. He also can be seen bathing, by moonlight, in the sugar river by APC Paper - for anyone who feels the need to gouge their own eyes out.
  
  The story of Jim is the story of the underdog turned community hero. Jim isn't the man we need, but he certainly is the man we deserve.

• Jill (Wednesday, May 15 24 07:01 am EDT)

  I'm still interested in the history of Jim Sullivan.
  Anyone have insight. The people deserve to know.

• Inside Red (Tuesday, May 14 24 08:34 pm EDT)

  What’s the deal with the stupid emails anyways? Jim doesn’t have time to read through a bunch of love poems and gushy stuff. You know, I hear there might be some discount rates for foot pictures and soiled undergarments in the rental space around town. Dirty dogs.

• Tooth fairy (Tuesday, May 14 24 02:45 pm EDT)

  Jim Sullivan is not a real person. He is a hobbit that feeds of pulling people down rather than lifting them up.
  He could use a quarter of his energy to engage, educate and assist any one of many pursuits of bettering Claremont. He uses his time to tie anchors to people and businesses.
  Jim Sullivan isn't a real person, he's the boogie man.

• Jason (Tuesday, May 14 24 11:32 am EDT)

  Insider and Sullivan Real are the same person playing mind games. Do it. Oh no don't do it as I pretend to be a scared city insider. Stfu.

• Insider (Tuesday, May 14 24 11:02 am EDT)

  This is moronic to the highest level. Jim don’t waste your time and the taxpayers money. What a ridiculous idea to read private emails. You people need jobs.

• Sullivan Report Official (Tuesday, May 14 24 04:18 am EDT)

  I will be requesting some information from the city based on a tip from anonymous that was elaborated on in an email. If the allegations are true, this report will be ground shaking.
  
  I will also now be accepting payment for advertising and for any special investigation that you want done.

• Jimcel Sullivan (Monday, May 13 24 12:29 pm EDT)

  Jim the incel had one hand on his keyboard and the other hand down his shorts writing the article about how he saved Claremont from irreparable harm at the meeting last week. What a rush that gave him! It was almost like he was back on the council reliving the glory days of his one-term seat.
  
  Thank the good lord above we have someone like him watching out for us.
  
  Also, what happened to JOC? Has he quit the forum? Has he died? Or is he under Jim's desk finishing him off while Jim pounds on the keyboard like a drunk monkey?

• Dan (Monday, May 13 24 09:28 am EDT)

  You really are the idiot Jim which is really funny as you keep calling the councilors idiots. You think your readers are idiots as well.
  
  Koloski cast the sole no despite creating the board. Hmm, to the observer his objection looked clear. How can you reaffirm a vote that never happened officially if Mr. Zutters vote didn't count. If Koloski had voted in favor your article would called the group idiots yet again as they rushed through rubber stamping without making it a clean vote.
  
  You comments about Koloski not wanting to vote first are the dumbest lamest attempt at smear. Your readers would note it was a joke which drew laughter audibly heard from home. He said why can't you start down there pointing to the other side.
  
  Here you are pointing out how you had to call in to claim self importance just as your comments about Koloski more apply to you.
  
  Wayne appeared miffed at policy committee meetings being recorded under meeting updates on the agenda. It doesn't fit your narrative to point out why that topic was brought up. Koloski asked publicly. You claim here you wrote a message to cctv.
  
  You do this same thing for each council member. Jealous much Jim.
  
  Imagine being such a lonely narcissist you have to write about your take on things each week and hope a single person cares.
  
  I will be labeled Koloski. That is fine. I didn't vote for him but certainly would know realizing he is your opposite.
  
  They all are. Showing up and actually contributing. You ever had a girlfriend? Ever hang out with a friend? What a sour existence.
  
  Explain to us again how you think as a citizen my vote doesn't count if I voted for Zutter and Tyson at the last election. You feel it is not a fair comparison but apparently don't pay attention to the overall ballots cast or empties. You are a moron.
  
  It is not lost on me that you missed a joke that drew laughter. You have probably never experienced that yourself. Sad.

• Jim Sullivan (Sunday, May 12 24 06:57 pm EDT)

  New article published today on the New Flashes page of this website.
  
  Total Chaos! May 8, 2024 Claremont City Council meeting highlights the incompetence of City Officials!

• Jim Sullivan (Sunday, May 12 24 04:53 pm EDT)

  No more articles ever. I have decided to attend meetings in person from this point forward. You asked for it.....your gonna get it

• Ma Bell (Sunday, May 12 24 04:51 pm EDT)

  Oh....phone records......
  Can you imagine the skeletons? Late night snap chats! "You up"
  "Read me the email about the city charter again daddy"
  I want to see how many time a week Tetu, Sullivan, Andy, Francis & others in the secret club meet to drink each other's blood.

• Jim Texts (Saturday, May 11 24 11:32 pm EDT)

  I noticed some councilors on their phones during this weeks meeting. I may file a 91a to see what was so important.

• Howard (Saturday, May 11 24 08:43 pm EDT)

  Jim, when Tetu is over later tonight and you are discussing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and how they can be forms of control, take a moment to consider what he might say about you behind your back.
  
  As you are arguing that the Founding Fathers pacified their people by giving them just enough freedom and power not to rebel, while still preserving an unjust status quo. Consider, those closest to you just might be playing you.

• Jill (Saturday, May 11 24 05:09 pm EDT)

  What is Jim's day job? Asking for a friend.
  Wonder if his employer is aware that is is a cyber bully? Harassing public figures and businesses. (Cyber bullying, as defined by Republic Act 10627, refers to any act of harassment, defamation, or ridicule conducted through the use of technology or the internet.)
  Is it a local business? Is he public facing or hidden away using company resources to conducted his research?
  Asking for a friend.

• Patrick (Saturday, May 11 24 09:29 am EDT)

  That 32% was me, increasing my frequency on the forum. Raw numbers of visits really mean nothing because most people use VPN’s and that means your counter with “unique” visits will count the same person each time as a unique visit because the IP address will change every time and be coming from the VPN random place. It could also be bots crawling the web for data. Just ask your computer shop.

• Jim Sullivan (Saturday, May 11 24 06:16 am EDT)

  I see that the Internet Trolls have been at it again. The last time I posted any comments on the Public Forum was Thursday, May 9 at 3:37 PM. Please ignore those other postings from deceptive people falsely using my name. Also, before any of these deceptive individuals get the bright idea to falsely post that there won't be any articles published this weekend to try to lower readership, I assure you that there most certainly will be as I am working on that today. Also, for the record my readership in regards to the Sullivan Report is currently up 32% over last year.

• Jim Sullivan (Saturday, May 11 24 05:52 am EDT)

  Yes, “J Dumb” and “no one cares” are clearly government operatives upset over my truth seeking and truth telling. I will not be bullied into looking the other way. Just for good measure I have sent a formal request for all communication, email records, inspection notes and work output for 59 days. I will then upload all the content to chat gpt for analysis and get a detailed look at anything that’s going on. What are the odds that this will create a saga that will last greater than 4 months?

• Anonymous (Friday, May 10 24 07:49 pm EDT)

  Hey “J Dumb” you are something else. Jim take note that we have never seen someone get this upset about a 91-A request. I think you have found a story lead, and a juicy one. Thing is, I know who it is that is so upset and they are trying to hide what you will find. Where there is smoke there is fire. This employee trolls the forum and gets butt hurt any time anyone brings up J Williams or the code office because he has intimate involvement.

• J. Dumb (Friday, May 10 24 04:43 pm EDT)

  J dumbfuck pretend I am a city employee if that helps you. I am a taxpayer and I am sick of blanket bullshit requests that costs all of us taxpayers money. You wouldn't know anything about that as you do not pay your bills or pay any taxes. Let me guess. You are so successful blah blah blah. Pay the taxpayers the court ordered judgement then. Again if you have a specific topic you think Jim should ask for then say it. Cut the moronic bullshit of the code guys emails. Those would be subject to legal review and can't all just get dumped for browsing you dolt. Pretend anyone pointing out a generic request is stupid to be a lazy city employee. What ever floats your boat you dipshit. Again fight your own battles. You think reverse psychology works here. Pay up bitch.

• No one cares (Friday, May 10 24 03:25 pm EDT)

  I sit here all day and I’m not about to watch some damn idiot comb through my emails to find something I said that he doesn’t like to try to make me lose my sweet and cushy job. Jim don’t wast your time with that idiotic moron.

• Anonymous (Friday, May 10 24 02:23 pm EDT)

  “No one cares”, you don’t know how to read. I said the two building code guys, not the whole department. And for 30 days. That’s not a lot of emails you dope. Clearly you have something to hide. Clearly you are the one working for the city that gets upset every time someone gets close to your wrongdoings. Jim hasn’t found it yet, but he will. Get back to work, we know you just sit and play internet games and read the news and this website. You are not productive and lazy.

• Jim Sullivan (Friday, May 10 24 12:22 pm EDT)

  Left work early today and see that the Public Forum has been kind of quiet today.
  
  No worries, I am going to try to spark some more outrage over some minor issue with my articles this weekend.
  
  It hurts my feelings when people are not engaging after I have provided them with so much information that should consume their entire lives until these things are corrected and Claremont is being run completely within my own vision.
  
  Be on the lookout for Sullivan Acres campground to pop up adjacent to Arrowhead in the very near future!
  
  Also, I will be creating a Venmo account where my dedicated readership will be able to donate so I can keep up my crack reporting and delivering the news and transparency that this worthless administration won't. Stay tuned!

• No one cares (Friday, May 10 24 11:42 am EDT)

  Anonymous no one is pushing back you dumb fuck. Let me make it super moronically clear. Staff time cost money. What is he asking for? All emails for the last 30 days from every single person on the community to every single planning department emails address or subject header or topic best recipes of 2024 for chili you dumbass. Jim, Anonymous is self proclaimed local business moron "J. DUBBS" The same person who has a legal judgment against them in court from the city and is trying to have you make some issue out of him being a deadbeat lover.

• Anonymous (Friday, May 10 24 10:41 am EDT)

  Jim, who said it was a single property or properties? I didn’t say that you should request all communication ever, just the last month. Whoever is pushing back does not want you to look. Are you just being lazy or have too much on your plate? Doesn’t matter to me really.

• Columbo (Thursday, May 09 24 08:31 pm EDT)

  Because you called to alert them. Absolutely 100% does not mean anyone listened to your advice as the council member that came up with the game plan to correct it was not the Mayor or Ohearne. Also not the member who retrieved the charter. I saw the entire process as you would have if you attended a meeting in person. No information was relayed by either of the individuals you called to other council members or the person who retrieved the charter and came up with a plan. I know that must frost your ass that someone you call names from behind a keyboard has critical thinking skills. Go see for yourself. Clearly as day the same person asked about vacating votes and had the charter in that red folder right in front of him. Damn son. Pat yourself on the back harder next time publicly. Narcissistic much?

• Jim Sullivan (Thursday, May 09 24 03:37 pm EDT)

  Just got home from work and I see that the Public Forum has been busy. I will now answer a few of the statements.
  
  Attendee, then why did both the Mayor and the Assistant Mayor send me an email today thanking me for my assistance last night regarding the Zutter appointment?
  
  The Sullivan Report Detective, Gary is not me for two reasons. 1) I was at work when Gary's comments were posted to the Public Forum. 2) I never post anything under an assumed name. Like John O'Connor, I always use my real name when I post on the Public Forum.
  
  Anonymous, Shadow Government is correct that asking for a month's worth of building code office emails is excessive. Can you please be more specific as to which property or properties I should look into so that it will narrow down the request for emails. Thank You.

• Anonymous (Thursday, May 09 24 03:24 pm EDT)

  Code boy, is that you?
  
  What are you hiding dear brother.
  
  Now don’t you go deleting those emails my friend.

• Shadow government (Thursday, May 09 24 01:28 pm EDT)

  Yeah anonymous that would be great. Maybe you could be more vague so it can cost taxpayers more research time. Just say what he should be looking for you pussy. Just say it Rapp.

• Anonymous (Thursday, May 09 24 12:16 pm EDT)

  Jim, you might want to look into the last month of building code office emails.

• Attendee (Thursday, May 09 24 11:53 am EDT)

  Well in reality your call to the Mayor during the actual meeting and your actual phone call with O'Hearne led to him saying some negative things about you. It didn't come across as you think. This is what I could hear. If you watch the meeting you can see the red folder referenced by "Columbo". Didn't prior councils have a city attorney present to correct these same issues?Maybe they should go back to that. There must be a cost associated though. Your at home legal guidance was definitely not utilized from what I could see. The councilor that sits on the end to the left was laying out a game plan and asked if the city clerk was available. I was also present during break arriving late to speak on social service funding. It ending up being at the end of the meeting and I couldn't stay for it.
