A school funding plan comes up for a vote today at the statehouse. But many lawmakers have expressed concern over the new compromise. The plan means property rich towns like Portsmouth and Rye will help pay for education in less wealthy communities. But some towns like Manchester are now receiving less state money than they budgeted for. We'll talk about the recent education funding woes with Doug Hall, co-executive director at the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies. We will also hear from Manchester's Senator Lou D'Allessandro and Dr. Daphne Kenyon, economist with the Coalition Communities.
