I only got to watch a little bit of the session. Mainly the union nuthuggers speaking on the "right to work" bill and the bill the next day which separated the tipped vs regular minimum wage. Which of course NHPR sees that as freezing the tipped wage--rolling eyes here.
It will be interesting to see how Sununu deals with 141 and 154. On one hand, he may see himself as a NH homer and say gun line is the way, but hopefully he listens to the common sense in the bill and signs this into law. SB154 is a big nice middle finger to the feds. I'm not sure if Sununu is a f*** the feds guy. Hopefully he will be once the senate concurs with the amendmant.
