June 12, 2020June 11, 2020 Judy Aron

We learned that $200,000+ in COVID/CARES funding can easily be spent on moving the NH House to the UNH Whittemore Arena for a day.

June 9, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Really, Union Leader, the House GOP “revolts”???

May 27, 2020 Skip

I would say that Republicans stuck to their guns (in some cases, literally) and said in effect “Decisions have consequences.” Steve Shurtleff, the Democrat Speaker of the NH House, YOU shut the House down and we don’t have to go along with rewriting YOUR rules to make it work.”

Where is (Grafton Dist. 12) NH House Rep – Garrett Muscatel? Home – In California!

June 5, 2026May 13, 2020 Steve MacDonald

It’s a good thing the NH House is self quarantined from the statehouse because Grafton Dist 12 Democrat Garrett Muscatel is missing in action. Well, not missing so much as not residing at his “home address.” The one from which he ran for office in New Hampshire. That would be his ‘Dorm’ at Dartmouth.

Women Helping Men Dominate Women’s Sports

October 23, 2024March 23, 2020 Beth Scaer

The self-proclaimed feminists of the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation have lost their way and no longer work to protect women’s rights. Instead, they consider any man who proclaims himself to be a woman to be eligible for women’s hard-fought-for rights, totally negating the purpose of having sex-specific rights for women.

NH House Ignores ITL and Supports More Local Budget Transparency

March 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

This is not the sort of thing you expect from your Democrat-majority legislature, but we’re fans of giving credit when it is due. And it is due. HB1460 is a budget bill that incorporates line item detail at the local level. The Committee panned it 10-8, but the full House did something amazing.

March 16, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I know, we don’t do these often enough. Sharing important votes by local state reps. Here in my town of Merrimack (where sharing their votes is an attack!), we’re still laboring under the weight of four Democrats with the left’s tendency toward tyranny.

March 14, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The Democrat Majority New Hampshire House had to finish all its business by Thursday, March 12th. Because Democrats are incapable of running anything – unless you mean into the ground – they F-d it up. Some have since tried to blame Republicans.

So kids, what did we learn from Wednesday’s House Session (03/11/20)?

We learned that after the 9am-6pm day we had today, that we still have 151 House bills to vote on tomorrow (Thursday). According to House Rule 65, March 12th is the last day that we can act on House Bills. It is pretty clear that we will not meet that deadline. It is unclear what … Read more

Your State House 3/11/20

January 12, 2025March 11, 2020 Carol McGuire

This week, my committee met to recommend eighteen bills to the House. HB 1121, proclaiming PANS/ PANDA Day, was recommended it be killed, 17-2, because the previous proclamations by the governor had not enlightened any of the members of the committee!
