DartBlog: Donations to (Dartmouth) College are dropping precipitously
As ye sow, so shall ye reap, Phil Hanlon. Four years of ineptitude are being reflected in fundraising numbers so dismal that people all over higher education are talking.

Here is a letter sent to parents by Dr. Laura H. Nelson, Superintendent of Derry Schools in New Hampshire. There seems to be misleading information presented to parents on whether they can refuse the testing. | More…

Governor Chris Sununu’s letter to the Joint Health Care Reform Oversight Committee
Dear Chairman Hunt,

Today New Hampshire’s individual health insurance market, which serves nearly 50,000 people in New Hampshire, is in jeopardy.
