Donna Green: Seattle’s Pointless Legal Battle with Public Money
The very first right of the public to be infringed in floundering administrations is the public’s right to know what their government is doing.
Unlike rational individuals spending their own money, public entities will take up hopeless legal battles in an effort to hide embarrassing information in defense of misguided decisions.

NH Pro-Marijuana Advocates Discuss Decriminalization Effort and Future Goals
The law was first introduced by Rep. Robert “Renny” Cushing, D-Hampton, and will go into effect on Sept. 16, making New Hampshire the last state in New England to decriminalize possession of marijuana.
Matt Simon, the New England Political Director of the Marijuana Policy Project, has been working on issues surrounding cannabis in the Granite State since 2007. In an interview with NH Journal, Simon said the House of Representatives passed a bill decriminalizing possession every year since 2008 but faced opposition from the 24-member Senate and two former governors: John Lynch and Maggie Hassan. | More…

Goodbye Teachers, Hello Computers: Thank Common Core And ESSA
Back in 2010 when the New Hampshire State Board of Education adopted Common Core, I warned that this was a set up for failure. Not only would Common Core dumb down our public schools, we’d see other negative changes, including an exodus from public schools. Lower enrollment means there is less demand for teachers and why the Concord Monitor is reporting that there has been a decline in teaching jobs over the last decade.
“Public school enrollment has shrunk 11 percent over the past decade, according to state Department of Education data.” | More…
