CONCORD, N.H. — The House Majority Office has formally requested that Attorney General John Formella investigate allegations that Gordon-Darby contacted New Hampshire inspection stations while implying it was speaking on behalf of the State.
House Majority Leader Jason Osborne (R-Auburn) said the reports raise serious concerns. “Granite Staters made it clear they want accountability and an end to unnecessary mandates,” Osborne said. “If a private vendor is inserting itself into that debate by presenting itself as the state, that crosses a line.” Deputy Majority Leader Joe Sweeney (R-Salem) said small businesses deserve straight answers. “Local mechanics should not be pressured or confused by outside contractors,” Sweeney said. “We’ve asked the Attorney General to get to the bottom of this and ensure no one is misrepresenting state authority.”
