JACKSON — A Jackson innkeeper is now asking a judge to annul a resolution agreement she came to with the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office regarding alleged violations of the state Civil Rights Act. Her attorney claims the AG's news release about the agreement was misleading.
The agreement was announced in a news release by the state Attorney General's Office on July 26. The release outlined a proposed final order, which Superior Court Judge Amy Ignatius approved July 25.
