A new survey shows dramatic obstacles and risks for poor New Hampshire children, from lead poising to teen pregnancy. We’ll talk about how public policy may hurt or help the situation. Laura's guests are New Hampshire Health and Human Services Commissioner Nick Vailas , Ellen Shemitz, president of the New Hampshire Children's Alliance and State Representative Fran Wendelboe, member of the house finance and health, human services and elderly affairs committees.
The Kids Count Children's Alliance Report is available online.
