Today's riddle: Why did the weatherman's cheeks turn pink? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
• House Republicans' CHARLIE Act undergoes major changes (vnews.com) — A major New Hampshire education bill backed by Salem Sen. Daryl Abbas has been heavily rewritten in the state Senate, shifting from the controversial CHARLIE Act branding to a narrower “Prohibition on Teaching Discrimination.” The revised bill revives parts of the earlier “divisive concepts” law, adds rules on classroom neutrality and student names, and is drawing sharp criticism from Democrats and civil liberties advocates who warn it could trigger new lawsuits.
• Help Wanted: NH Small Businesses Say Labor Shortage Still Top Concern (patch.com) — New Hampshire small businesses say inflation and a shortage of qualified workers are still their biggest headaches, even as optimism inches up. For Salem residents, local Rep. Joe Sweeney is pushing a broader cut to the Business Enterprise Tax, while state senators favor raising filing thresholds to target relief at the smallest firms.
