Progress!!! Mandatory lot minimums is so 1990. Note: you can do septic and well on a .75 acre lot. 2 acres is still almost 2 football fields, and frankly a LOT of maintenance. Let's call this an incremental win. 👏 #NHPolitics

For years, family planning funds have had bipartisan support to fight poverty and boost public health. Now, Republicans are slashing funds that keep NH’s rural clinics open—often the only care option for low-income families. #NHPolitics
