Lawmakers to extend immunity law in overdose emergencies

Sununu Should Have Nominated Rich Girard

I agree with Governor Sunna’s decision not to renominate Tom Raffio to the State Board of Education.  Raffio would continue the status quo, not #DrainTheSwamp.

But Drew Cline to replace him?  Cline is a smart guy.  But I don’t know of any experience or interest in education. More…

NH Press Proves Republicans Are More Open-Minded

I’ve surfed thousands of headlines in the past few weeks looking for content for the New Media Militia.
