OSSIPEE — Jonathan Smith (R-Ossipee), a state representative and Ossipee selectman, says a video of him arguing about revaluations with fellow Rep. Bobbi Boudman (D-Wolfeboro) was deceptively edited to portray him inaccurately.
Boudman has said Smith should be voted out of office for supporting religious schools contrary to the state constitution.
