Is this the John Smith cop from New York City with all the violations?
It's about time people are held accountable to zoning and building code. Bravo!
Its sad when people move up here,then von their way into town office then think they can run our towns like they do down south ot southern states towns.....anf this smith huy sounds like a real winner,ive read a fee times of this p.o.s.,trying to ruin towns or try to have it their way or else,as is the case at hand....i jus dont understand how some of these @#$&+, even get into town offices after jus being here a few years, real good conning be my guess not to mention pockets probably being lined,jus saying,its all food for thot......happy new year to all .....god bless you all.....
Jonathan Smith is just like JD Hogg in the old TV sitcom Dukes of Hazzard.
Select board chair Jonathan Smith should resign
It's about time zoning and building code is enforced in Ossipee. Bravo!
