New Hampshire Supreme Court Finds Kimball Liable for Overpayments
The New Hampshire Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling holding State Treasurer F Gordon Kimball liable for 237518 paid in excess of legislative appropriations. The decision sustains the civil suit against him. Gov Sherman Adams sought his immediate resignation after the ruling. The court divided three to one with Chief Justice Johnston dissenting, and the case ties to the Story Cote conspiracy findings and upcoming dismissal hearing.
