Governor Ayotte has vetoed a fourth bill protecting the privacy of women and girls — after the legislature answered her own objections. We also have good news on childcare, the election season ahead, and a free legal resource for churches this summer. Governor Vetoes Locker Room Privacy Bill — Again Governor Ayotte has vetoed HB 1442 — … Read more
To be fair, this isn’t the first example in which AG John Formella got the Judicial system to agree with his disastrous interpretation of New Hampshire’s Civil Rights Act. Frank Hobbs took his “feelings” out on someone’s pride sign, and the State decided it was a hate crime. There’s no such thing, but if Judges … Read more
I get a lot of email. You’ll have heard that before. We get lots of stuff, and I’ve been more than public about how much stuff and how we can only ever use some of it. Time constraints, bandwidth, interest. Every now and again, someone likes to send some insight into how much they dislike … Read more
Perhaps Rep Varney should be called a “Republican Rep David Cote” as he seemingly aspires to be like him, but I chose the word “placeholder” for now. We’d like to think that Team Red has higher standards for conduct, especially seeing that we’re quick to criticize the Dems who receive unflattering attention from WMUR and … Read more
As Vermont’s sole representative in the U.S. House, what has Rep. Becca Balint done to improve the plight of Vermont’s youth, the working class, senior citizens, and small businesses? If parroting her party’s line on national issues and feigning outrage over international events count, then she sure has done a lot. Meanwhile, the forgotten men … Read more
Governor Kelly Ayotte signed House Bill 323 into law. As a result, student IDs are no longer a valid form of identification to obtain a ballot in New Hampshire. But note that a “driver’s license issued by any state” remains a valid form of identification. This means that, notwithstanding all the hooting and hollering over … Read more
In chapter five of George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the head pig, Napoleon, announces the end of the weekly meetings of the animals: “They were unnecessary, he said, and wasted time. In the future, all questions relating to the working of the farm would be settled by a special committee of pigs, presided over by himself. These … Read more
The Fiscal Alliance Foundation is expanding into Vermont and has named Waterbury resident Elizabeth Brown as its Vermont state director, charging her with leading the organization’s efforts to promote fiscally responsible, transparent, and data-driven public policy. Brown, who has lived in Vermont for three decades, brings more than 25 years of experience in the financial services industry … Read more
While most sound-minded bill watchers were concentrating on the last of the women’s sports & safe spaces bills being vetoed yesterday, I took a look at the 20 bills that were signed and spotted HB1727 (This bill creates a system for automatic enrollment of eligible students into the Summer EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) program, unless … Read more
There is no depth too low for Democrats to sink when it comes to seizing an opportunity to fortify their power. The Democrats have proven that they have no plan for the future, and their only purpose is the power needed for self-reliance and the obstruction of anything that the Republicans conceive. I thought, and … Read more
Time to Lead with Courage, Not Contradiction She celebrates the Supreme Court’s defense of biological sex in sports but refuses to protect privacy and safety in locker rooms and bathrooms. Blanket vetoes without collaboration are insulting — New Hampshire deserves better. I am deeply disappointed in Governor Kelly Ayotte for her continued failure to support … Read more
Following on my earlier post, Dems-n-Energy, I bring you another fake concern of the left that could be addressed, at least in part and almost immediately, if the Dems tried this one easy thing. In Dems-n-energy, it was the price of energy. Here, we’re talking education costs, which are the single greatest driver of high … Read more
Wherever you happen to be sitting as you read this, energy prices probably matter. In the United States or out, yes – we have readers in nearly every country on the planet, how much it costs to heat, cool, cook, and live in the 21st century turns on the cost of the energy necessary to … Read more
Are there any readers who remember a House Election Law hearing in the early winter of 2022 when the late Rep Mark Alliegro introduced a bill about hand counting? I’ve been unable to track down the HB number despite a search on bills that Mark sponsored and a quick look at the YouTube playlist. I … Read more
Maine Senator Angus King (I-ME) was enjoying a conversation with Joe Scarborough of MSNOW this morning as they both took shots at President Trump and ICE. I have never seen King on FOX NEWS, and his grasp of the truth and his symmetry with Morning Joe may explain why. He also had glowing comments to … Read more
Members of the public rely on the minutes of City Council meetings as the most accurate reflection of those meetings. But Concord City Council minutes don’t reflect the record. Not by accident, on purpose: As you will see early in the recording of the July 13, 2026, Concord City Council meeting, the minutes of the … Read more
This week, on Right Side Up, Alisonand Mike discuss the elected Orange County High Bailiff visiting Iran, the Governor’s Executive Order, and the poison pill in ACT 152 (rechargeable battery dispisal/recycling).

Chasity Bono used to drop by the variety show because she was a super cute little girl, and pets and small children (especially if they are not yours and you can walk away from them or give them back) are a big draw (marketing-wise). Chastity had an addadicktomy and became Chaz Bono, not so cute, … Read more
Vermonters and at least one national Republican figure are responding to an elected Vermont official’s ‘death to America’ statements made last week while attending the funeral of the leader of Iran, who died in the early days of the war with Iran. According to an X post by Orange County High Bailiff Christopher Helali, he’s … Read more
