CONWAY — The New Hampshire Department of Education has reached out to the state Attorney General to conduct a criminal investigation concerning a reported $800,000 that the Conway School District may have collected over the years in falsified free-and-reduced-lunch reporting to the government.

Anthony Schinella, director of communications for DOE, said by phone Monday that "the New Hampshire Department of Education has formally requested a criminal investigation into the matter with the New Hampshire Attorney General."

This is the not even the worst of all the evils I have seen corrupting our region. From the Jackson PD to the State, all trying to intimidate and extort money from people. These small towns with their little monopoly games of "Selectmen" are growing more and more corrupted.
