Thank you for adding your voice on controversial legislation. Significant votes will occur this week as the 2018 State legislative session begins on Jan. 3 and 4.

Congratulations to newly elected Keene City Councilor Maggie Rice, and re-elected Councilors Manwarring, Greenwald, Clark, Jones, Hansel, Filiault, Lamoureux, Chadbourne and Sapeta. Congratulations to Mayor Lane on his fourth victory and to Manchester’s newly elected Mayor Joyce Craig.
