While PragerU sought state approval, Education Commissioner provided support behind the scenes
I would be grateful to anyone pointing to where this decision can be reversed. Even better if it already has.

What do you think everyone who calls NH home should visit in the state?
I'll start with an obvious one. You've got to drive the Kancamagus at some point. Gorgeous views and winding roads with quaint shops, really great snapshot of the roots of the state.

Why do right wingers insist on doing nothing but culture war bullshit?

Local politics is the place to participate. Local affects national, and you have more ability to make the change happen yourself. There are still ways to use democracy to peacefully make the changes we need, but you have to have as many people as possible to make it work. The younger generations seem to be getting nicer. Your last 2 sentences are true, but we can start healing sooner if we can work together for it.

State Libertarian Party Endorses Jan. 6: ‘Politicians Should Fear For Their Safety on a Daily Basis’
The Libertarian party, especially the NH chapter, should be completely ignored. Unless they commit crimes then go ahead and arrest them. If they got their way we'd be back to feudalism.

Wave Free or Die: Should this be the new state flag?
I'm with the vexillologists on this one. Give me a cool flag, not a still generic flag now with words.

Could we add an icon and banner to this community? It would really make it look a lot more professional. Also, changing the display name to "New Hampshire" would look better as well.
I agree. I'd only differ on icon choice. Too difficult too see icon sized. My suggestions would either be the Old Man Of The Mountain or just a outline of NH

Balance of power tightens at New Hampshire state House after special election in Northwood, Nottingham
I used to be proud of our purple status but I'm personally glad we're turning blue.

Manchester gets new Republican mayor
From what I hear, the biggest reason this happened is him doing a lot of personal campaigning.
Also some say it's because he's focused on "the homeless problem".

Figuring out how to vote in my local election is fucking awful.

It's town election, the point still stands, especially with the accessibility of information.

But is a bigger legislature necessarily a good thing? I understand the point of having it be proportional, but is there no limit to that? What proportion should we follow? Is there a point where its size becomes a detriment? If more is better then why is governor or president being one person okay?
To be clear, I'm not trying to argue any direction. These are honest questions that I would happily accept well reasoned and sourced responses to in an effort to better shape my own (not fully realized) opinion on the topic.

Mt Major is great. Not too long of a hike but still tough enough to make you feel like you did something with a gorgeous view of Winnipesaukee. It's also nostalgic for me, hiking that a few times on field trips.

This will be an interesting race. Wonder if Sununu will back another not quite so far right person. As of right now I'd probably go for Ayotte but I expect whoever he backs will be elected.

Heat advisory, air quality alert issued in New Hampshire for Thursday, June 6
Another record breaking heat day. Are there still any naysayers floating around? Is it not yet obvious we need to put out the fire before we lose everything?

Project to develop tick surveillance system
Am I wrong to say we should just be encouraging more wild chickens and dragonflies (those are more for mosquitoes)? Fight nature with nature yeah?

Fair, they're so ubiquitous I hadn't really thought about it. The point still stands though of, it seems like the best way to deal with the issue is to encourage the population growth of their natural predators. Preferably native predators.
