The Health of Town Meetings

Edmund Jansen is a Professor of Economics and Community Development at the University of New Hampshire, and as such has taught his students about New England's town meetings.

But Professor Jansen has also had practical experience. He's been a town selectman in Rollinsford for the past 26 years.

And after at least 26 town meetings, Jansen tells NHPR's Mark Bevis, in essence, the more things change, the more they remain the same.
