Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"Our Governor has promised to veto any additional restrictions. This item is unlikely to proceed next session we have higher items on the priority list to work on. The Dobbs decision does not affect the status in NH. Nearby states offer less restrictive laws hours away."

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"'Should the state do more' is open-ended and loaded toward financial incentives. Taxes redistributed come from the people first before they are 'encouraging' municipalities. I could see a change in the eminent domain laws or a grant system for intergovernmental land transfers between cities, towns, and the state (including University or agency lands) to achieve common goals."

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"It remains the best of all evil at the moment. Public schools need to deliver a better product as well. Increased competition for students with state or county-issued vouchers and charter schools might relieve upward pressure and provide improved test scores."
