Local voices chime in on a variety of topics.
New Hampshire state leaders have a duty to demand increased funding to these initiatives that will provide aid to their people and communities that have been suffering too long.

In what the Mayor himself acknowledged was nothing more than a measure to get media attention, he is now pushing for a 21-day State of Emergency to be called to raise public awareness of this important issue.

Empty rhetoric in the face of a state-wide health crisis does nothing but put more people at risk.
