A 2012 Legislative Roundtable

We sit down with a roundtable of House and Senate leaders on the New Hampshire Legislature from 2012.   Only two weeks in, and the statehouse is full-steam head with debates on guns, education, redistricting, and it’s only just begun.  We’ll talk about their hopes for 2012, and where they may find common ground  which could be hard to find in an election year.   

Guests

  • Representative DJ Bettencourt - Republican Representative from Salem and House  Majority Leader.
  • Representative Stephen Shurtleff - Democratic Representative from Penacook.
  • Senator Jeb Bradley - Republican Senator from Wolfeboro and Senate Majority Leader.
  • Senator Matthew Houde - Democratic Senator from Meriden.
