I sit on the Judiciary committee in the NH State Senate. 3 anti-immigrant bills were introduced today. I was gaveled for acknowledging that an identified nationalist hate group who testified was…a hate group. Not all hate groups show up in white hoods or carry tiki torches. #nhpolitics

This is amazing. Clearly shows that educational vouchers are about the money, not about quality education.

The I&D tax ending shifts burdens onto property tax payers. We sold out fixed income households in favor of a tax cut that benefits the wealthy. The GOP is already blaming these shifts on schools and not the failure of the state to fulfill its constitutional obligations for 30yrs. #NHPolitics

Rep. Petrigno will again be leading on a bill to remove the "divisive concepts" law that keeps teachers from fully teaching history.
If last term was any indication, this bill will not find enough R votes to pass, but sometimes the fight is just as important as the result.
