Republican lawmakers in the New Hampshire House are proposing a ban on some gender-affirming care surgeries for minors in the state. People gathered outside the State House Tuesday to protest the legislation. Municipal elections for several New Hampshire communities take place on Tuesday. We discuss the mayoral race in Manchester — the state's largest city — and how candidates at both the state and local level are addressing its troubles and successes in their campaigns. We discuss these stories and more in this edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with NHPR reporters Paul Cuno-Booth and Josh Rogers

I first met "Dick" Daschbach when we served together in the NH House of Representatives. Dick and I formed an immediate bond and along with our colleagues, particularly V. Michael Hutchings and Deborah "Arnie" Arnesen we formed the backbone of a "peanut gallery" sitting at the back of Reps Hall together and offering a running commentary on the proceedings to one another.Dick's first job after college but before Law School was as a worker in the US Senate Post Office. He worked a half day and went to Law School the other half.In 1967 He and his wife vacationed in NH on Lake Spoffard and fell in love with NH. Shortly after that they bought a home in Walpole, NH. He became a legal services lawyer for the area.New Hampshire would turn out to be Dick and Virginia's "Spot on the Porch" for the balance of their lives (so far!)On the last day of class in his first year of Georgetown Law School Dick received a call from the office of Senator Russell Long asking him to come and work for Sen. Long. On that same day his first child was born and Dick was appointed as Maritime Counsel to Long's Merchant Marine Committee. US Senate: Office of the legendary Senator Russell Long of Louisianna. Senator Long was the son of Huey Long, also a legendary figure in Louisiana politics.He was appointed Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission in 1977 by President Jimmy Carter. Richard retired from that position upon the election of Ronald Reagan.Assistant to the President: Seafarer's Union, a Union representing the men and women who work on US flagged ships. Trying to raise the work standards all over the world so US ships, and employees, could be more competitive.At 74 he was appointed Chief Judge of the Federal Workers Compensation Appeals Board, a position he would hold for 4 years before returning to New Hampshire full time in his retirement.

Part of what makes the study of public policy so fascinating is how even the most admirable proposals can warrant deeper scrutiny. A great example of this is found in HB 143, a bill before the NH House of Representatives that would allow domestic violence victims to secretly record their abusers without running afoul of the state's wiretapping law. Listen as hosts Anna Brown and Mike Dunbar, of Citizens Count break it down in  $100 Plus Mileage. This podcast is produced in partnership with Citizens Count, Granite State News Collaborative and The Marlin Fitzwater Center for Communications at Franklin Pierce University

Today's Links:Articles - InDepthNH, Concord Monitor Fair Maps Advocacy Groups in NH - Open Democracy Action, ACLU NH, League of Women Voters NHYou're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.We're back in New Hampshire, today, where on May 27, Republican Governor Chris Sununu vetoed two gerrymandered Congressional maps, which a defiant Republican legislature passed despite overwhelming public condemnation.Gov. Sununu had earlier threatened to veto HB 52, having made several public remarks about vetoing a voting district map which, quote, “Doesn't pass the smell test.” The NH Legislature passed the bill anyway along party lines, changing a competitive map which had remained largely the same for 140 years and had flipped three times over the last decade, to an uncompetitive map which packed Democrats into one district and Republicans into the other to guarantee a Republican Congressional seat.   It also gerrymandered the NH House, Senate & Executive Council maps which Sununu later signed, including a rigged NH Senate map which creates a veto-proof majority despite an evenly-divided state.Alternative Congressional maps were drawn by the legislature, including SB 200, the last legislative attempt to pass a gerrymandered map.   The NH State Supreme Court issued a statement saying that if a map wasn't agreed upon by the end of May, a special master would create a “least changed” map.  That map was released Friday, and oral arguments will be heard May 31 over the objections of NH House and Senate leadership.Action by the public changed the debate in NH. What was a secret process 10 years ago faced unprecedented public scrutiny, engagement and pressure.Granny D said, “Democracy is not something we have, it's something we DO.” For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl.More information at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org

You're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.The impact of gerrymandering is poised to have an even larger impact on the purple state of New Hampshire. New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has pledged to veto a Congressional map passed by the legislature which makes the state's two seats uncompetitive – one manipulated to benefit Republicans, the other packed with Democrats. Currently, the state has an all Democrat federal delegation.But Sununu also needs to take a harder look at the NH Senate and NH Executive Council maps passed last Friday, which guarantee veto-proof majorities in a state which over the last decade has swung both ways.The legislature has ignored the overwhelmingly negative public testimony on the maps, with hundreds of pieces of written and in-person testimony from residents around the state. Sununu has made several statements professing that he will only sign bills which, quote, “Pass the smell test,” but so far he has signed the gerrymandered NH House districts, and has taken no positions on the NH Senate or NH Executive Council maps. The proposed rigged maps would give as much as a 16-8 majority in the NH Senate, and a 4-1 advantage in the Executive Council, a body which advises the NH Governor on state contracts and department heads.Granny D said, “Democracy is not something we HAVE, it's something we DO.” For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl.

You're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping our government by and for the people.After months of promising an open and fair process, the NH Senate Election Law Committee voted last Monday to recommend two rigged voting districts for U.S. Congress and NH Executive Council to the full Senate. The NH Senate will vote on the gerrymandered maps on Thursday, March 17.Amendments to these maps have been rumored for months, but Republican party hardliners pressured the Election Law Committee to make no changes, despite almost universal condemnation in hearings in the NH House and Senate committees. The Congressional map gerrymanders to make both districts uncompetitive, guaranteeing the outcome of the election. The Executive Council map is a repeat of the 2010 “Dragon District,” which packs liberal-leaning towns into District 2, leaving adjoining districts more conservative.While Governor Chris Sununu has made statements asking for a redrawing of the maps, there is no evidence that the Governor's office has made counter proposals. It looks increasingly as if his comments were orchestrated for political cover rather than protection on the voters. Whether floor amendments will be proposed Thursday is an open question. If the maps are approved, they head to Governor Sununu's desk. Granny D said, “Democracy is not something we HAVE, it's something we DO.” For the American Democracy Minute, I'm  Brian Beihl. 

New Hampshire's teachers unions blast a proposal to end remote learning, while Sen. Maggie Hassan prepares to cast her vote to kill the filibuster. And a NH House committee considers legislation to block any state tax dollars from going to commuter rail projects like the (likely) $500 million Capitol Corridor Project.NHJournal's Michael Graham discusses it all with Drew Cline of the Josiah Bartlett Center (and chairman of the State Board of Education.)

Surrounded by legal cannabis states in New England, New Hampshire was on an island with dollars leaving that state for legal transactions in others. Now the New Hampshire House of Representatives has passed a bill that could be the first step towards legalization in that state. Tim Egan is a Representative in NH and was instrumental in moving it through the house with his fellow state reps. This week on In The Weeds with Jimmy Young, Tim explains the process, and what the next steps are towards passing this bill, and the challenges that lie ahead in that state's Senate. Then will Governor Chris Sununu even sign it?

 Welcome back to $100 Plus Mileage, the podcast about New Hampshire legislation that might not make the news but still could impact you. Last year we talked about everything from home distilling to delivery robots. With the legislature coming back in session in 2022, we're coming back for a second season, too. Each week we'll highlight one of the roughly 1,000 bills making its way through the New Hampshire Legislature, give you the unbiased facts, pros, and cons, and tell you about how to make your voice heard and get involved in the New Hampshire democratic process. This week, we'll dive into some of the big bills already being discussed in NH's legislature.

Ever since his father took him on tours of a hydroelectric dam and a nuclear reactor as a young child Clifton Below has had an outsized interest in technology, electricity and energy from both a scientific perspective as well as a public policy one. As a result of this Clifton Below has become one of the foremost thinkers and policy innovators in the country. New Hampshire's good fortune has been that “Cliff” chose to live here and to grow and think here - instead of somewhere else. Over the course of 30 plus years that has led Cliff from election to the NH House, the NH Senate and then an appointment to the state Public Utility Commission.

NH Business review writer Bob Sanders and editor Jeff Feingold discuss the sausage making the House of Representatives undertook in crafting their state budget proposal, which they passed yesterday. The upshot? Business should be happy with the outcome. Bob breaks down why.

The same technology that allows you to open your phone simply by looking at it can be used by governments to track people as they go about their lives in public. Pretty creepy. But there's legislation in the NH House to do something about this. A New Hampshire bill up for debate this year—HB 499— would set limits on how this kind of technology can be used in the Granite State. There are some important caveats to that, though.  Citizens Count Anna Brown and Mike Dunbar will break it all down in this episode.

Tonight we interviewed Max Abramson. He has introduced a bill in the state of New Hampshire. HB 138 would allow inmates who have been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole to get a parole hearing after serving 25 years of the sentence. This bill would affect roughly 190 inmates currently being held in New Hampshire. This bill would ensure that these prisoners have not been wrongfully convicted. It would also give the state the option of releasing prisoners who are elderly and are no longer a danger to society. This would save the taxpayers of New Hampshire a great deal of money. We support HB 138. Please reach out to your government representatives to help get this passed.  We had a technical glitch at the beginning of the show. You may experience a couple of minutes of silence. Once you download the show, just fast forward a little and you will be able to listen to this powerful show. This hearing happens on 3/3 in New Hampshire. Thank you for joining our show Max! 

We talked about spring fever. I listed my top 10 favorite things about spring. I may have added one special category.

Tomorrow tune in at 5 PM ET live on Podbean as I expose more abuse in Missouri. This time it will be an interview with a woman who went to the Show-Me Christian Youth Home. This show will be published on all of the platforms as well.

A Man Called Crow Maverick, mentor, conservationist and a man who loved a good story these are just some of the ways that people describe Howard "Crow" Dickinson who served in the NH General Court, also known as the NH House of Representatives for 38 years, and who died in 2014 at the age of 78. First elected during the Presidency of Richard Nixon, Crow crafted landmark environmental legislation during his lifetime including New Hampshire's Current Use Law, responsible for the conservation of open land from one end of the state to the other. In the late 1980's Crow was a co-sponsor with me on the New Hampshire Rivers Management and Protection Program (RMPP) - New Hampshire's statewide version of the national Wild and Scenic Rivers act protecting critical shoreline resources for the benefit of present and future generations through a unique combination of state and local resource management and protection. The law also declared an immediate moratorium on the approval of new dams on the following rivers: Pemigewasset, Saco, Swift, Contoocook, Merrimack and Connecticut south of the Israel River in the Town of Lancaster.

Aiyeeeeee! Death Panels decided Rudy Colludy lives, but 300,000 have died . . . including the new Speaker of the NH House. One of his Republican colleagues placed the blame squarely where it belongs. The stupid lawsuit filed by the accused felon AG of Texas refuses to go away. Darlene and I do a deep dive into an issue that plagues the Congress.  $102 in matching money is on the table.

(MC) NH History New Hampshire Ski History 34 active ski areas 21 of them have chair lifts http://newenglandskimuseum.org/new-hampshire-ski-history-for-4rth-graders/ New Hampshire was the center of skiing in the United States from the 1930s into the 1950s. Skiing first became popular in northern Europe then crossed the Atlantic to the cities of New York and Boston. Because New Hampshire was so close to Boston, skiing became very important to New Hampshire. Three groups of people were important to skiing growing in New Hampshire. First, the workers from Scandinavia who moved to the paper mills around Berlin. Second, college students from Dartmouth College who were part of the Dartmouth Outing Club. And third, people who were members of the Boston-based Appalachian Mountain Club. New Hampshire was the first place in America to have many things you see now at every ski resort. New Hampshire was the first to have trails cut just for downhill skiing. The Granite State was the first to have overhead wire-rope ski tows and an aerial tramway. Many famous races and styles of racing took place in New Hampshire. Professional ski patrols and ski schools began in New Hampshire. These new ideas, plus ski villages, started a whole new tourism industry. Rope Tows and Chairlifts Even though the first rope tow in the United States was in Woodstock, Vermont, many new ideas for getting skiers up a mountain were developed in New Hampshire. Two new style rope tows opened in 1936. The Dartmouth Outing Club built one on Oak Hill in Hanover and the second one was built at Moody's Farm in Jackson. These used wire instead of fiber to make the rope. This rope was then suspended above the skiers' heads rather than at waist level. The skier grabbed a J-shaped handle that was attached to the rope and was pulled up the mountain. The first chairlift in New Hampshire was built in 1937 on Rowe Mountain in Gilford, just a year after chairlifts were invented in Idaho. The next year, 1938, two exciting and new ski lifts were built. One was at Cannon Mountain in Franconia and the other was at Mount Cranmore in North Conway. The first chairlift in the Eastern U.S. at Belknap Mountain, now called Gunstock. Cannon Mountain built the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway. A tramway is a large box that hangs from a cable. Many people can board a tram and travel to the top of the mountain together. Many people thought that trams would be the most popular ski lifts in America, but chairlifts became cheaper to run and easier to fix. New Hampshire's Legacy New Hampshire was a hub for skiing through the 1930s through the 1950s. The state helped promote the state through colorful maps, posters, and brochures. Later, Vermont and ski areas further west became more popular than New Hampshire. Even so, skiing is still very important to New Hampshire today. In 2006-7 people spent over 700 million dollars in the state because of skiing. Ski resorts also employed over 17,000 people during that year. It isn't surprising that New Hampshire lost its early lead in the development of skiing in America. What is remarkable is that New Hampshire played such a large role in the rise of skiing. Ski resorts and areas might be very different if it wasn't for the ideas and inventions of New Hampshire skiers.   Suggestions/Feedback Do you have a topic that you would like for us to discuss?
