Is there a valid reason for removing John Broderick?
John Broderick, former chief justice of the N.H. Supreme Court is out of his job as the neutral YDC claims administrator (he did not resign as the Governor’s office would like us to believe). Governor Ayotte, agreeing with the State Legislature has now made his position one that will be filled with a “puppet” for the Governor and the Attorney General’s office to do their bidding.
The victims who were sexually, emotionally and physically abused by YDC staff are now being, once again, victimized by the governor and the Attorney General’s office. It will be at their discretion to decide what monetary compensation, these already traumatized individuals, will receive.
The State of N.H. shares the ultimate responsibility for the abuse that the YDC victims suffered at the hands of state employees. So, how can Governor Ayotte and the Attorney General’s office impartially oversee distribution of money from the Settlement Fund? Isn’t there supposed to be a separation of power between the branches of government.
How are the victims and we, the citizens, to know if the victims are fairly compensated (as if there ever can be a just amount of money to compensate for the lifelong trauma that the YDC children suffered at the hands of Government employees)?
