Marconi's Legal Battle Over State Fees

Geno Marconi, former head of New Hampshire’s ports, is locked in a legal battle over whether the state must pay his defense costs in a civil suit from lobster pound owners — a case complicated by criminal charges against him and a governor’s office refusal to act on his appeal. Despite state law requiring both the governor and Executive Council to review such appeals, Marconi’s team argues they’re dodging their duty.
