This Thursday, Hopkinton businessman and Democrat John Lynch will be inaugurated as New Hampshire's 80th constitutional Governor. We'll listen back to parts of John Lynch's inauguration speech as well as look forward to his next two years as Governor... facing a Republican dominated House and Senate, working with a new House speaker, dealing with an unresolved school funding debate and working through piles of legislations. Laura's guests are Dean Spilliotes, a research fellow for the Department of Politics at St. Anselm College; and Norma Love, State House reporter for the New Hampshire Associated Press. We'll also hear from Governor Steve Merrill, who served as New Hampshire's Governor from 1993 to 1997.
