Do the VDE Officials have the Managerial Expertise to Run the Sewer Company?

The Chart below was submitted to Sullivan Superior Court along with our Trial Memorandum on March 13, 2014. It is based on reviewing Village District of Eastman Commissioner Meetings for 2012. It shows numerous NH RSA 91-A violations occurred on the part of the VDE officials throughout the year. However, it also shows occasional compliance with the law, suggesting an awareness of the law’s requirements. Do these violations demonstrate managerial expertise?
