Column: Giving credit where credit is due in Grafton County
Modified: 7/5/2021 10:10:06 PM
I have served as the Grafton County register of deeds for 11½ years, receiving the vote of confidence last November from 47,467 of my fellow citizens to return me to my sixth term. I have served as vice president of the New Hampshire Register of Deeds Association and now serve as president. This service required me to spend a great deal of time in legislative committees in Concord. It is from this experience that I write.
I can clearly see that a new day has dawned in Grafton County. I have been blessed to witness extraordinary leadership germinate and flourish, and her name is Wendy Piper.

When Hillsborough County Commissioner Toni Pappas toured the Valley Street Jail in Manchester last December, as she and fellow commissioners are required to do at least twice a year, she didn’t appear to find any cause for concern.
“I have found the condition of the facility, the security of the inmates, and the management to be in order,” Pappas wrote in an inspection report filed with the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. “The inmates are being cared for pursuant to [state law], and are appropriately supervised by trained correctional staff.”
