Reporter Damien Fisher: Claremont School District Fiscal Woes Continue
Reporter Damien Fisher: Claremont School District Fiscal Woes Continue

Reporter Damien Fisher joins The Morning Update to discuss two of his recent stories. One involves a NH school district that seems to be in perpetual fiscal crisis.

The other discusses the tale of a therapist with three convictions of vehicular manslaughter, a name change, and sexually assaulting a patient.

Story One: Claremont School District has a history of fiscal issues, most recently last year, when the district found itself $5 million in debt. Recently, it was learned that the Claremont School District is understaffed, to the point that they may not be able to properly staff the middle school.

Story Two: Alleged victim Bonnie Sitomer has been waiting over 5-years for her trial against her former therapist Peter Stone (formerly known as Peter Dushame). Stone (Dushame) has a troubling past, with five DWI arrests and two fatal car accidents.
