Spending my 35th birthday trapped in Reps Hall while the NH House is in session. I already missed at least one vote due to being late due to being distracted before leaving, so let's get right into it. #NHPolitics

The State of NH wants to eliminate its constitutional obligation to fund public education. This means higher property taxes and rent for you. Unlike the State, cities and towns can only fund education through property taxes. New Hampshire is already worst-in-the-nation for education funding. Property owners pay an average of 70% of costs.

We're a city-level organization here, but we keep in touch with our county-level organization, and they send out their own newsletter, if you'd like to take a look:

It would be foolhardy for the right-wing lobbyists of #NHPolitics to (continue to) push for privatization
This week Pete Buttigieg will be visiting New Hampshire and supporting Democrats who are delivering for their communities. A note from Mayor & Transportation Secretary Pete:
"I’m looking forward to spending time with people who care about the future of our democracy: listening, sharing a few thoughts, and standing alongside candidates and organizers who are stepping up to serve."
Join us for an event with Pete on Saturday in Concord.

NH House is in session today, starting with Gov. Ayotte's "State of the State" address; I will be liveposting as usual. First session where David Nagel is a Dem! Got my whistle; members will be wearing them today. Also saw some writing in the snow on my way here! #NHPolitics

I am continually pointing out (usually just to myself) that in order to be “pro-“ some interest you must be, at least implicitly, “anti-“ some other set of interests. Usually, this is in relation to my employer pushing their PAC’s supposedly neutral “pro-business” position which is going to be anti-worker, or the same position of my local politicians, which may also be anti-consumer. Recently, my home state decided to remove the requirement for motor vehicle inspections; apparently, at the behest of automotive mechanics tired of doing them. The purpose of the inspections wasn’t to drive those mechanics business; it was to maintain a minimum level of roadworthiness for vehicles and thereby increase public safety! So, I guess to the usual anti-worker and anti-consumer, the “pro-business” position of my local pols is now also anti-public.
