National divorce is in the news. Carla ponders why we don’t avoid problems and simply let voters decide every 10 or 20 years whether they want to stay united or not. Tammy takes us on an in-depth journey through the current New Hampshire budget, especially relating to education funding. And, wow, the next Mayor of Manchester just got a 47% raise!
