I so much wanted to say something on BlueHampshire.com about the election of House Speaker, but since that's a decision by our new Democratic Caucus, I held back. But imagine, the choice was between former House Speaker Terie Norelli, and long-time Nashua Rep. David Campbell, who goes back to the 1970s with me. I favored [...]
