From Medicaid expansion to minimum wage, get two informed perspectives on the big issues our legislators are wrestling with this year. Guest speakers Charlie Arlinghaus of The Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy and Jeff McLynch of the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute will offer their unique perspective about what’s happening at the State House – what bills are hot, what’s not and what we can expect as this legislative session gets underway.
