Just wanted to make sure you saw this: "Despite losing two votes, the Senate still managed to override Lynch's veto on a 17-7 vote, sending it to the House for an override attempt there." Also, check out this legislative scorecard that ran in the paper: http://www.concordmonitor.com/article/278480/legislative-scorecard No scheduled override in the House yet. Not sure if that's intrepid enough for you. :) |

Apologies for getting some of you excited about the raw milk possibility. It's my understanding that raw milk isn't allowed to be sold in stores in New Hampshire. |

I've attached Clough's report to the bottom of the article if you want to have a look for yourselves. It's pretty exhaustive. Bests, |

Hi there, I wrote the article and meant no disrespect to you by using those phrases. It actually said "blue blazer" in the paper, so I've made that change to the web version. I'm not sure what is objectionable about the phrase "so-called pin-on ceremonies," but I'm always willing to take suggestions. Feel free to e-mail me at mspolar@cmonitor.com. Bests, |

Hi there, From the article: "Since then, Verville, Martel and the other volunteers on the meetinghouse committee have whipped the building back into shape using private donations and grant money." Outside of recently paying the electric bill, the town has not used money from its operating budget on this project. Matt |
Hi Bill,
This story includes a sentence in which you deny affiliation with the Hikel campaign. Not sure what else you wanted, but I'm glad you posted so people can read your publication themselves. Make it a great day.
