Political news for New Hampshire and beyond.
WASHINGTON, DC— Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01) spoke on Wednesday on the House Floor to demand that House Republicans bring common-sense gun violence prevention legislation to the floor
The mission and focus of March For Our Lives is to demand that a “comprehensive and effective bill be immediately brought before Congress to address these gun issues.”
Shea-Porter: “Concluding this incomplete investigation now confirms what I have long suspected: Republicans on the Committee ran a sham investigation to shield President Trump from the investigation at all costs and brazenly disregarded the national security interests of our great country.”
The statistics for deaths by guns is small in comparison to cars and so as I know of the deaths in my family by cars, I wondered why have we not had students marching to get rid of cars?
CONCORD — Any decision on reconsidering Northern Pass’s application to build a 192-mile transmission line will wait until May after the Site Evaluation Committee decided Monday to suspend its oral denial of the project.
This editorial and others highlighting the need for more government transparency will be posted at Right-to-Know NH during Sunshine Week.
Although town moderators may postpone deliberative sessions (in SB 2 towns) and the business meetings of the town (in towns that have adopted RSA 39:2-a) due to weather emergencies, the law does not authorize local or state officials to postpone the town elections.
OPINION: When the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee voted 7-0 to reject Northern Pass, the project’s spokesperson expressed “shock and outrage.” As a senior at Yale who is coming of age in a time when corporate power feels insurmountable, I felt shock and hope.
As Sunshine Week dawns to shed light on the darkness shrouding the inner workings of government at all levels, the forecast is a little murky in the State House this week.
