Terie Norelli has been, by acclimation, unanimously named Minority Leader for the upcoming biennium after a vote where she won 53 votes to David Campbell's 38 to Kris Roberts'4. She is also the caucus candidate for Speaker of the House.
We have to do all we can to support those left standing in the state legislature. They are the mainstay of our firewall against the extremist agenda of the House Republican Alliance. HRA priorities include a repeal of the gay marriage law; tax breaks for people who choose home or private schooling; allowing health insurance purchases across state lines... impeaching Commissioner of Education Virginia Barry; and requiring photo ID of all voters. This is only the beginning, as there are Legislative Service Requests (LSRs) for everything from taking New Hampshire out of federal health care reform to doing away with child abuse laws, to taking the state totally out of education funding. |
