New Hampshire Democrats Stick With What Doesn’t Work

by Steve MacDonald

The New Hampshire Democrat House Majority has chosen their previous Democrat House Sepaker Terie ‘Billion Dollar Deficit‘ Norelli as their new Speaker for the 2013-2014 session.  This is good for lots of reasons.

Of course this time around she doesn’t have a completely compliant Democrat majority Senate to help cover her tracks.  She has a slim and squishy potentialy compliant Republican majority in the Senate, with whom she may have to barter a bit.  How much barter, as well as what the GOP willingly gives up, remains to be seen.
