Session continues in Bedford today; new livetweet thread for today starts here! Today also marks 2 weeks since my 2nd COVID vaccine shot, so it's also the last day I plan on voluntarily wearing my mask by my own choice; after this I'm only planning on wearing it when requested toPermalink On twitter.com

Also note that as most tweets in my livetweet threads generally don't stand on their own, I'm not going to bother including the #NHPolitics hashtag with each of them, just the once here, even though it's technically applicable throughoutPermalink On twitter.com

Starting now... darn I missed Pastor Bob's last name again. He's having us do something silly again. Even if this prayer is from Pope Francis (who I like) you still have to admit this "five finger" thing is kind of corny.Permalink On twitter.com

GOP is trying to prevent the tipped minimum wage if the federal one rises by changing it from a percentage of a the federal one to a set specific one, so that raising the federal one wouldn't raise ours.Permalink On twitter.com

onto SB86. This one was kind of complicated. First is the majority amendment to remove the housing portion, which was the only good part of the bill. Removing it ruins the bill.Permalink On twitter.com

Honestly I would've gone farther with this amendment and just removed Part III of SB86 entirely, but I guess doing it this way was designed to get more GOP votes...Permalink On twitter.com

Some confusion about the amendment process herePermalink On twitter.com

I think the confusion is because Rep. Stavis is trying to introduce a different amendment now from the one she introduced in committee? Apparently she's trying to add Part II back in addition to modifying Part III, whereas in committee she was only trying to modify Part III...Permalink On twitter.com

But yeah, takeaways from today: - Dems want to #RaiseTheWage, GOP doesn’t - GOP opposes local control, Dems support it - Dems want you to have housing, GOP doesn’t - GOP likes fossil fuels, Dems don’t - Dems want to let you take time off to get vaccinated, GOP doesn’t #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com
