Rayno: Heated battles expected this week in New Hampshire House
Gary Rayno
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” is the opening line of Charles Dickens’ classic novel “A Tale of Two Cities.”
Although it was written about the French Revolution, it could have been written about three days in April for the New Hampshire House.
Another description may be “three days in hell” as the nearly 400-member House works its way through 331 bills in order to meet its already delayed crossover deadline.
Scheduled to meet from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the NH Sportsplex in Bedford, the three long days may not be enough time given the contentious issues legislators face.
