New Hampshire House votes down Right-to-Work bill

[TexasTowelie]

CONCORD — The state House of Representatives defeated Senate-sponsored Right-to-Work legislation Thursday, 200-177, as 32 Republicans sided with a united Democratic caucus to vote against the measure.

In a subsequent procedural vote, representatives voted 193-184 to indefinitely postpone further action on the issue, precluding any vote on a House-sponsored Right-to-Work bill in the current session.

A motion to reconsider the postponement vote also failed, 194-183.

The loss came despite a full-court press by Republican Party leaders who enjoy a 50-vote majority in the 400-member chamber.

2. It was an unexpected turn of evens since the GOP has the majority in the House.

It looks like right-to-work is dead in New Hampshire for this session.

3. Positive news like this is so rare these days

I had to read this through twice, LOL. I was thinking I knew someone who voted on this (Democrat), but it looks like she's no longer in office.
