We look at those bills expected to cross over from the NH House to the Senate -- and vice versa -- and see if they may hold up in their next vote.

The New Hampshire House today voted to eliminate the Chancellor’s Office within the University System. The bill calls for many of the responsibilities of the Office to be shifted to the Board of Trustees and to school presidents. Created in 1974, the Chancellor’s duties include government relations, purchasing and audits.

"There is unneeded repetition," says Representative Robbie Parsons. He told colleagues that the four colleges already have many of the same structures in place, allowing them to move a lot of the work to the respective offices of the four schools. Republicans say this will save money that can be used to keep tuition down, and to help achieve the Board's goals. 

Here is how the North Country representatives voted on Wednesday when the House passed a resolution – HCR32 - calling for the United States to withdraw from the United Nations “so that the United States may retain its sovereignty and control over its own funds and military forces.”

It passed 188 – 129.

Here are the North Country representatives voting in favor:

* Lyle Bulis (Republican) of Littleton

* Edmond Gionet (Republican) of Lincoln.

* Larry Rappaport (Republican) of Colebrook.

* John Tholl (Republican) of Whitefield

* Gregory Sorg (Republican) of Easton.

* Herb Richardson (Republican) of Lancaster
