The owner of 4 Water St., an office building that abuts Nashua’s ongoing Downtown Riverfront development project, told aldermen this week that the city doesn’t need to pursue eminent domain proceedings for an easement involving a roughly 2,000 square foot patio-type structure attached to the rear of the building. The city recently drafted legislation to take the structure by eminent domain “or other legal” means, contending that Mike Cerato, who has owned 4 Water St. for several years, wanted to reopen discussions with the city last summer and ask for additional funds said to be in the neighborhood of $40,000 for the easement, bringing the total cost to around $90,000. In the end, aldermen voted unanimously to table the resolution until an appraisal, currently in the works, is completed and in the hands of city officials. Cerato, who said he’s been “an active supporter of the Riverfront project from the beginning” and is “committed to see it succeed,” told aldermen that he would likely agree to the appraisal, which deputy city attorney Dorothy Clark said is expected to be about $40,000. “If the appraisal is fair, if the city is prepared” to accept it, “then so am I,” Cerato said. Meanwhile, the appraisal, being conducted by Portsmouth-based Bergeron Commercial Appraisal, is in the works, Clark said at the meeting. It is expected to be completed in about a month, she added. “I don’t feel you need to (pursue) eminent domain ... I intend to grant an easement,” Cerato told aldermen. “So let’s wait until the appraisal comes back,” he said, suggesting that the board table the matter until then. nashuanews@unionleader.comCan ordinary citizens solve our toughest problems?AP News Summary at 8:53 a.m. EST
Japan's ruling and opposition parties agreed Tuesday to work toward abolishing policy activity funds, which are not subject to disclosure even when such income reaches hundreds of millions of yen, during their first meeting on political reforms. But the ruling Liberal Democratic Party has expressed reluctance to eliminate corporate donations, which have benefited the pro-business LDP, lawmakers said, despite criticism that the practice is considered a form of bribery that could distort policy outcomes. The discussions come as Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's LDP seeks to reach policy consensus with the opposition camp, after the party and its junior coalition partner lost their majority in the House of Representatives election on Oct. 27. The LDP aims to enact new revisions to the political funds control law by the end of the year. Party powerbrokers have not been required to report how they spend the money, raising doubts about whether it may have been used inappropriately. The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan said it intends to map out its own proposals on political funds reforms. It remains uncertain whether the main opposition party and the LDP will make concessions on the issue, lawmakers said. The 24-day extraordinary parliamentary session is scheduled to convene on Thursday, as the LDP faces intense scrutiny over revelations that some of its factions failed to report portions of income from fundraising events and created slush funds. Revisions to the law were previously passed in June, when the LDP, then led by Ishiba's predecessor, former Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, attempted to showcase efforts to reform the political funds system to regain public trust in politics. The changes, however, were criticized as insufficient, with opposition parties highlighting the absence of a ban on corporate donations and the lack of clarity on when mandatory disclosures of policy activity funds would be implemented.NEW YORK: Former US president Jimmy Carter passed away.
