Here's my question: Why would voters living in any receiver town want to vote yes to a constitutional amendment that would lower the amount of money they get for their local schools that comes from the donor towns?  .. If you live in a receiver ('poor') town, will you vote no to a donor ('rich') town's money coming into your school system....and a two-thirds state-wide popular vote is needed to amend the New Hampshire constitution! ..  |
Here's my question: What does his stock portfolio have to do with this? I for one prefer a congressperson who has shown the ability to manage money in their own life if they are going to vote on policy that affects me.Would you be more comfortable with someone who has gone through bankruptcy a few times.? What's wrong with being successful?
