KMM chairman did not claim to be a Concord resident
Per our Sunday editorial on Keep Manchester Moving, I have seen it alleged that the chairman of KMM, Josiette White, claimed to be a Concord resident last year when she opposed that city’s spending cap. As far as I could find, that is not true. The allegation stems from the minutes of the Sept. 8, 2008 Concord City Council meeting. At the end of the meeting, the council took up the question of holding a vote on the spending cap. The deputy city clerk reported that the city solicitor’s report on the scheduling of the spending cap vote was presented to the council along with “communication from Josiette White, Concord resident.” But that was a mistake by the presenter of the materials.
What was submitted at that meeting was White’s e-mail letter to Council member William Stetson. I obtained a copy of that letter. The very first sentence begins with White stating, “While I’m not a resident of Concord…”
White did not falsely pose as a resident; the staffer who gave that letter to the council misidentified White.
