We learned it was “Veto Day” and the last session of this legislative body until after election day and new legislators are sworn in. The opening ceremonies included a memorial to Rep. Mary Griffin, who passed away recently, and prayers for Rep. Gary Hopper who is fighting cancer. There were also many thanks to those …
So Kids, What Did We Learn From Thursday’s House Session (09/15/22)? Read More »
Congratulations are in order … to Sun-King Sununu and Chris Pappas. Notwithstanding all his braggadocio, the Sun-King is actually extremely insecure. He was scared you-know-what-less that the new Congressional maps might lead to Chris Pappas deciding he had a better chance at Governor than reelection in CD-1.
Sun-King Sununu’s Supreme Court has announced that it will resolve the impasse created by the Sun-King by redrawing New Hampshire’s Congressional districts: This court has both the authority and the obligation to ensure that the upcoming election proceeds under a legally valid congressional district plan.

We learned that today was Tartan Day at the NH House. This is a celebration of Scottish heritage in NH and gave our State Representatives a chance to “show our plaid.” Many reps wore some sort of plaid, including the NH plaid.

I couldn’t BEGIN to imagine how many bloggers have written about the Democrats who are complaining about Red States being a “Threat to Democracy” in redoing election maps when they themselves, at any opportunity, are doing the same thing.
This week, the redistricting committee met to vote on all the maps. First, we voted unanimously to interim study HB 51 (state senate districts) and HB 53 (executive council districts), since the Senate will deal with them.
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield: This week, my committee met for the last time this year, to finish three bills we’d held over. HB 457, changing the duties of the legislative youth advisory council, was amended to simply allow some of their meetings to be held virtually. This should help the lack …
