During this segment, Jeff Chidester is joined by regular guest Drew Cline, President of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy.

The conversation begins with a look at the NH 1st Congressional District race, examining candidate Stefany Shaheen’s support for “Medicare for All” healthcare proposal and what full government-managed healthcare would mean for Granite Staters.

Next, Jeff and Drew discuss the Josiah Bartlett Center’s article, “New England’s embrace of nuclear power leaves out a crucial step,” diving into why regional efforts to revive nuclear energy will stall without addressing key regulatory and market hurdles.

Finally, they wrap up with a look at New Hampshire’s fiscal health, highlighting recent positive state revenue receipts showing growth over estimates and what that means for the state’s economic outlook.
