Resident asks Merrimack County commissioners to consider supporting private prosecution in Boscawen tax dispute
Summary
Joseph Haas told commissioners he is pursuing a private prosecution related to a Town of Boscawen tax matter and asked for the Commissioners’ support; the board said it would need additional information before commenting or offering support.
Joseph Haas addressed the Merrimack County Board of Commissioners during the public‑comment period on June 8 to raise a tax‑related matter involving the Town of Boscawen and said he is interested in pursuing a private prosecution. Haas explicitly asked the Commissioners for their support in pursuing that action.
Commissioners did not offer immediate support. The board indicated it would need to review additional information before providing comment or taking any position on assisting or endorsing private legal action. No formal referral, direction to staff, or vote followed the comment.
Why it matters: A request for official support of private legal action was put before the board; the commissioners acknowledged the request but reserved judgment pending review of additional materials. The public‑comment exchange closed without a decision or further action recorded.
