(Hour 3a) Rich ruined the Surprise Party being planned in Goffstown for retiring Selectman (… read more…) Phil D’Avanza and Joanne Duffy, the Town Planner from Hooksett is not happy about it. Why is Rich being such a party pooper? Employees of the Town of Goffstown were apparently organizing the party while on the clock. Big deal? It is to the residents of Goffstown that pointed it out to us and aren’t happy that employees of the town are planning parties on their dime.

I have always enjoyed listening to your show when it was about Goffstown politics. However, I am done listening to your show since you have gone so overboard and petty with your attacks of town employees in regards to the surprise (not surprise anymore thanks to you) party being organized for outgoing Selectmen Phil D’Avanza. You have been real petty and gone to far on this subject and now I am gone. One of the things I can’t stand about today’s media is when they have nothing to report they blabber about little things and make them sound like a big issue. Bye.
I’m sorry you feel that way, Dick, especially since the story was from someone on the inside who didn’t think paid town officials using town resources, email and time were planning a party for someone who is leaving board while attempting to get elected to another. If Phil D’Avanza’s daughters are really planning this thing, as my critics suggest, they should be sending the invites and selling the tickets, not Town Administrator Sue Desruisseux or Planning and Zoning Administrator Brian Rose or any other paid town employee on town time.
