When NH gets a full time legislature its doa.You're not wrong. If that non-resident voting shit doesn't get fixed post-haste then it's gonna be a fast trip to becoming MA North.

This will end up being a nationwide thing, unfortunately. They’re digging for anything just to say that they’re trying to stop these active shooter events, and of course it’s us that will pay the price, not the criminals, not the mentally deranged or freakshows of FB.
20.00 bucks says this will be nationwide SOP within 2 yrs.

Actually, lots of research indicates that professional legislatures without term limits result in more stability over time. Basically, there's more incentive to avoid radical shifts because there's more for them to lose and they aren't under pressure to make a name for themselves before their term limits are up by passing dumb laws.A very interesting thought. Professional politicians, hmm. WCGW?
WHAT!, please cite sources, I need to read that.Actually, lots of research indicates that professional legislatures without term limits result in more stability over time.

So you're less likely to get hard leftist politicians that get elected in a wave year and do a bunch of stupid shit. And yes, you're less likely to get lots of hard-right politicians in a wave year that do stuff you like. But at the end of the day I'll take more bias towards the status quo over radical back-and-forth shifts. At the end of the day, "you shall not pass" is generally a victory for conservatism. It's the other side that wants government to do lots of stuff.
I didn't say professional legislatures keep out leftists. We live in a left-leaning state with left-leaning voters, so we get left-leaning politicians and left-leaning policy. That has nothing to do with whether or not we have a professional legislature.WHAT!, please cite sources, I need to read that.
Have you looked at what the MA Legislature has done/is doing? If you want to ignore their hard leftist leaning, just look at how they gave themselves a pay raise. The MA Legislature can't give themselves a salary increase, so they called it a stipends. But the people can vote to overturn any Bill..... unless that Bill includes salaries for Judges. Now guess what they added to their stipends Bill to insure the people could do nothing.
This is how a professional legislature acts. It's also one of the big reasons I left the PRM.
I can only assume you have some form of Stockholm Syndrome, I wish you a speedy recovery.

Would you guys take your mass legislation discussion somewhere else?
This is a NH Red Flag thread
You happen to have a link to Lott's 36 yr study you could share?
Found the amendment at NHFC, waiting for a human-readable summary of what it changes.The prime sponsor turned in an amendment and she is addressing language that no one has. Working on getting a copy.
The hearing was out of order at that point.The prime sponsor turned in an amendment and she is addressing language that no one has. Working on getting a copy.
