The New Hampshire Supreme Court, in a decision handed down recently, has given the legislature until next July to come up with a legally valid definition of an "adequate education" or face a short list of options, including having the court appoint somebody to define it for them. We'll look at what this strongly worded decision means for the state and its longstanding fight over the best way to fund education. Laura's guests are Kevin Landrigan, State House Reporter for the Nashua Telegraph, Charlie Arlinghaus, President of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy Study, and Scott Johnson, Professor of Law at Concord University School of Law, Visiting Professor of Law at Franklin Pierce Law Center and Project Director with the New Hampshire Citizens Voice Project. Johnson was also one of the attorneys who filed the original Claremont lawsuit.
