Today my committee (House Municipal & County Government) will be hearing a bunch of Senate bills, including the controversial “short-term rentals” bill (SB249). I plan on livetweeting as usual, with a thread starting here. #NHPolitics
                                                                                                                                1. …in reply to @cooljeanius

Apologies to the constituent who I told I wouldn't be able to testify about this to; looks like I got my chance after all!

Village District?), so SB239 is supposed to fix that, and provide penalties for failing to complete required audits

Just stick to the parts about attacking absentee landlords, rather than trying to justify sketchy zoning practices.
