The New Hampshire Legislature: where legislators combine jeans and boots (for mud and slush protection) with our suits and ties... it's an interesting contrast when you switch from looking at someone's feet to their faces! #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

if this were a motion to reconsider so that we could kill it, I'd be for it, but since it's just reconsideration for an amendment, I don't really see the point of it; we had a chance to take it up yesterday and missed it...Permalink On twitter.com

Rep. Stavis made a good point making a comparison to how EFAs don't get capped; basically this is just another step in the Republican attempt to dismantle public education and replace it with private educationPermalink On twitter.com
