When it comes to ed funding, the legislature has arrived at where poet Robert Frost did - with “two roads diverging in the woods.” One path involves a Supreme Court deadline and reworking the current funding system; the other, a constitutional change backed by the Governor. We’ll talk about which path lawmakers may choose and why we still haven't found a way to fund education in the state.

Guests

We'll also hear from

  • David Hess, Republican State Representative from Hooksett
  • Joe Foster, New Hampshire Senate Majority Leader
  • Randy Foose, Democratic State Representative from New London
