Ross Berry comments on public document access and New Hampshire politics
Ross Berry, a public figure in New Hampshire, posted a series of tweets on October 13, 2025, addressing issues related to government transparency and expressing criticism toward an unnamed individual in the state.
In his first post at 17:52 UTC, Berry proposed a solution to streamline public access to government documents. He wrote, “This might be the solution to end the ‘come get the thumb drive’ game. It’s worth the cost to have the state stand up a website where the requested documents can be publicly posted. Also the govt wouldn’t have to duplicate requests.”
Later that evening at 21:37 UTC, Berry issued a pointed statement: “She is an embarrassment to NH.” The tweet did not specify whom he was referring to.
Shortly after, at 21:58 UTC, Berry responded succinctly with “Nope”.
Public records laws in New Hampshire require government agencies to provide access to documents upon request. However, the process has often been criticized for inefficiency and delays. Some agencies have historically required individuals to collect information in person or through physical media such as thumb drives. Proposals similar to Berry’s have previously been discussed as potential ways to increase transparency and reduce administrative burdens.
Berry’s comments reflect ongoing debates within New Hampshire about government accountability and public access to information.
