NH citizens should be proud of Attorney General John Formella, his prosecutors, and staff. Despite political pressures, they had the courage to pursue justice and secure the recent indictments against NH Supreme Court Justice Bobbi Hantz Marconi and her husband Geno Marconi, the suspended director of the NH Port Authority. They also secured indictments against Brad Cook, chairman of the NH Port Advisory Council, and a longtime supporter and enabler of Geno Marconi. The indictments are serious and should be a warning for other state officials who may wish to betray the public’s trust.
It appears that Mr. Marconi’s luck has finally run out. Evidently, his political life jackets have vanished with the outgoing tide. Over the past several years, Mr. Marconi, with the support of certain state politicians, evaded investigations and prosecutions for alleged criminal activity. Hopefully, the Pease Development Authority Board will finally cut ties with Mr. Marconi who serves at their pleasure. They should also remove Brad Cook from the NH Port Advisory Council.
