An update (and perhaps for some, a conclusion) to the recent saga at North Country Healthcare: newhampshirebulletin.com/202…
News: NH Senate Republicans plan to fast-track an open enrollment bill tomorrow — allowing NH kids to attend any NH school district.
The plan: Add it as a floor amendment to an existing House bill (HB 751) so it goes right to the House w/o hearings. #NHPolitics
If they succeed, the House could approve the amended bill when they next meet and send it to Gov. @KellyAyotte's desk within a few weeks.
Sen. @tlangsr tells me House GOP leadership supports the bill, which could allow for quick passage. #NHPolitics
NEW: Gov. Kelly Ayotte's latest Supreme Court nominee is facing conservative backlash. One GOP Exec Councilor tells me he's opposed.
And @nhcornerstone is already urging "no".
The issue? Past work defending NH's COVID state of emergency.
newhampshirebulletin.com/202… #NHPolitics
The nominee, Daniel Will, has strong support from Rep. Bob Lynn, the former Supreme Court chief justice, an influential voice. And other councilors appear much more open to him.
But with 3 yes votes needed, and 4-1 GOP control, this could be closer than expected. #NHPolitics

Republican State Representative Glenn Cordelli (who had been chairing the House Education Policy and Administration Committee) has resigned from the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

Gov. Kelly Ayotte has vetoed three favorite bills of social conservatives, to allow segregation by biological sex, to make it easier to censor material in public schools considered to be obscene and to compel parents to "opt in" for their children to take risk behavior surveys.
More vetoes from Ayotte today (7 total):
-HB 148, allowing separation by biological sex in some areas
-HB 358, easing process for religious exemption to child vaccines
-HB 466, making student surveys opt-in not opt-out
-HB 667, requiring ultrasound videos in sex ed.

BREAKING: Gov. Kelly Ayotte has *vetoed* House Bill 324, a bill to make it easier for parents and guardians to remove "obscene" books and materials from schools.
Veto confirmed via Secretary of State's Office. GOP lawmakers will need 2/3 majorities to overturn.

Near-century old, massive Norway Maple that towered over the State House arch is coming down today. #NHPolitics #WMUR
UPDATE: In a second twist, the House has reversed course, and *passed* HB 1, 185-180.
Second chance came after a Republican rep who voted on the prevailing side against the budget, Rep. Brian Taylor, moved to reconsider the vote.

JUST NOW: In an upset to what had seemed to be a compromise, the New Hampshire House just barely *voted down* the 2-year budget, in a 182-183 vote.
22 GOP reps on the right joined with almost all Dems to vote it down. This chart tells the story:
#NHPolitics
In total, 4 Republicans who originally voted against HB 1 switched their votes to support it the 2nd time:
Rep. Travis Corcoran of Weare
Rep. Joe Guthrie of Hampstead
Rep. Brian Taylor of Weare
Rep. David Walker of Rochester
