Sure, I can understand there being legitimate public scrutiny if it looks like the Laconia mayor is actually residing in Gilford. That's a legal issue, apparently on both the state and municipal level. But where the money came from to buy the Gilford property shouldn't be a matter of speculation on an open internet forum. People should have a little bit of decency and respect private matters. The fact that a person is a public servant doesn't give every citizen the right to delve into all personal matters involving the public servant. We should act to encourage our fellow citizens to pursue active roles in our governments, rather than give another reason to say "no thanks."
