THE NEW HAMPSHIRE Republican platform represents the values that my husband and I work hard every day to present to our three boys, both in words and action. I want to instill in my curious, thoughtful sons that fighting for what is right and standing up for those who can’t are the very essence to …

FORMER state Sen. Jon Morgan ran an op-ed in this paper Aug. 9 about how the legislature’s recent achievement for education choice is somehow bad for public schools in New Hampshire, citing data from a far-left think tank.

Judging by the reaction of New Hampshire’s left, the recently passed business tax deductions and Interest and Dividends (I&D) tax phaseout by the Republican-controlled legislature is an act in class warfare.
