Barbara D. Reed on Letters from an American

[Barbara D. Reed]

Here in NH, the Repug majority legislature is doing much the same as both of those cases and other awful bills & the Repug gov. is going along w/nearly everything they pass. Last year, when thousands of the populace spoke out loudly against atrocious bills like defunding public education and diverting a large part of those funds to private, religious schools and home schoolers, they had the cowardice to hide those bills in the budget so the gov. could say" We have to fund the budget" to give him cover for signing them. (and what makes it worse about that defunding, is that property tax paying folks provide a large share of monies for public education and our property taxes will go even higher.)
