Lynch's Education Amendment/Flood Debrief

By Laura Knoy on Monday, April 16, 2007.

Governor John Lynch's proposed education amendment has passed its first test...with Senate approval last week. But now the House chimes in and it gets much trickier. We'll weigh its political prospects and whether this one-hundred-and-three word amendment will have a major impact on New Hampshire's long debate over paying for public schools.

We also check in with the Bureau of Emergency Management on the status of flooding in the state.
