There is a lot of crap raining down on us in WI from the same kind of action . . . but it is all worth it to see other states having the courage to do the same. Thank you NH!!
“After hearing all of the opposition statements, you could have come to the conclusion that half of the population of New Hampshire would be dead from the spending cuts”
Yet still they vote. Go figure.
The skinny last November was that the NH unions made a major effort to get down here to MA to turn the tide here (and help defeat the sales tax rollback question so that MA’ers keep going to buy in NH). Well, they succeeded in that effort unfortunately for us in MA... along with a lib sweep; and perhaps focusing that much effort in MA was fortunate for republicans sweeping in NH.
They should change “Live Free or Die” to “I’m calling the shop steward on you! Just as soon as I get my government phone card”
The Republicans “pushed it through”? It lost by nearly half!
What kind of jobs do these people have that they can take a day off and go to the statehouse?

O’m surprised that a state with 1,324,575 people has 367 representatives in the house. Someone do the math, I’m too lazy.
Wow, I thought PA was bad with overload of congress critters.
We have 202 in the house with about 12 Million folks.
In NH the number is 367 house members and 1,300,000 folks {1 rep for 3,542 people, while PA has 1 rep for 59,406 people}.
I was at a town hall meeting and someone said we have too many congress critters and my local critter {a new pubbie, just 2 months} said that he had introduced a bill to reduce the house size by 50 critters.
The author of the article is showing their bias. They say the Republicans “Pushed” the bill through. With a 2-1 margin it doesn’t look like it had to be “pushed” too hard.
NH, WI, IN, OH, ID, NE, FL
And I’m probably missing a few. Very good trend. The 700 new state legislators aren’t wasting any time and are acting.
This part is bad and wide open to fraud. The states have always been responsible for weights and measures.
What the heck is a state the size of New Hampshire doing with 347 people in it’s House? Illinois has got to be at least 5 times their size and we only have 118.
