CONCORD, N.H. (AP) The New Hampshire Supreme Court was split 2-2 Friday over a woman s nearly nine-year battle to challenge her firing from the state Department of Health and Human Services over breastfeeding, meaning a lower court s decision to dismiss her case stands.
When the court heard the case in January 2020, it lacked a fifth member after its chief justice stepped down the previous summer. Former Attorney General Gordon MacDonald was sworn in as chief justice last week, well over a year after the case was argued.
