What People Say About Us…

“Who does New Hampshire want to have its back when the next hare-brained, get-rich-quick, cockeyed, scenery-trashing, money-grubbing scheme threatens New Hampshire’s greatest legacy---it landscape? Well, I’ll want the reporters and editors at InDepthNH.org---the only news medium that staffed the critical Northern Pass hearings, from beginning to end. InDepthNH.org---good, solid, statewide news coverage, the kind you can depend on, the way things used to be and the way they should.”
John Harrigan, writer
Colebrook

"We desperately need investigative news organizations like InDepthNH to counter the fake Facebook postings and toxic partisan diatribe masquerading as the truth. I’m immensely grateful to InDepthNH for the invaluable work they do."
Gloria Norris
Filmmaker, author of KooKooland

“New Hampshire owes a debt of gratitude to IndepthNH.org for its investigative journalism covering government accountability issues. It has been a pleasure teaming up with them to enhance government transparency and accountability in the Granite State.”  
Gilles Bissonnette
ACLU-NH Legal Director

"The arrival of InDepthNH.org has been a game changer. It has filled the void of providing investigative journalism in New Hampshire. InDepthNH.org has provided ethical, quality journalism on issues that impact the lives of New Hampshire citizens daily. In addition to giving a voice and a platform to those who would otherwise be voiceless."

  • 50 Years of Progress for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act May Be at Risk

    By GARRY RAYNO, InDepthNH.org CONCORD — The NH Association of Special Education Administrators held its annual meeting Friday while celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the progress it has brought.

  • State Employees Association Seeks Member Input, Meeting with Ayotte Over COGE Report

    By PAULA TRACY, InDepthNH.orgCONCORD - Leaders of the State Employees Association will be asking its 15,000 members for input on recommendations from the Commission on Government Efficiency (COGE) and plan to meet with Gov. Kelly Ayotte to discuss the report after hearing from them.The report, released Thursday, calls for a number of changes that if implemented could impact state, county and municipal employees.Rich Gulla, president of SEA/SEIU 1984, said "it is good to have an introspective look" at efficiencies and that he and staff are reviewing the report and will be seeking input from members.He noted that the state is under a hiring freeze and that many state employees are not only doing their job but filling in for those positions that remain vacant."They are filling in the gaps," he said of the union's members.Once they have had a chance to get input, he said he will seek a meeting with Ayotte to go over the positions."These are simply recommendations right now," he said.Among the recommendations are for state employees to work in the office rather than remotely.Co-chairs of the 15-member commission, former Governor Craig Benson and Andy Crews, submitted the COGE report of recommendations following a year of interviews, study and considerations on what could make the state work better for its citizens.They noted that the independent, advisory document is not an audit but meant to "identify practical opportunities to improve how New Hampshire government operates and serves its people."As for remote working, which was the case for many during COVID-19, the report said there should be a return to in-person teams as the work standard and that it leads to quicker decision making and better outcomes, though there could be exceptions.Ayotte sat down last week with reporters before the document was released and was asked what she planned to do with the recommendations. She said she would consider them but was not wed to all recommendations, noting she might support some and not others.In her statement Thursday when she released the report, Ayotte said the 77-page document identifies opportunities to modernize government, strengthen New Hampshire’s long-term competitiveness, and ensure taxpayers receive maximum return on their investment.Some may require a legislative fix while others can be handled administratively.
