This bill would be good for NH workers; our current unemployment percentages are far below those of neighboring states

We need to be kind to all of God's creatures!

Ann WestSupportConcord, NHfor MyselfFeb 18, 2025

I support this bill.

Susan OrkinSupportGrantham, NHfor MyselfFeb 18, 2025

This is a sneaky way of getting around the requirement that someone must live in the town of the school district.

Mandy BoultonSupportNewport, NHfor MyselfFeb 18, 2025

I support changing this to 2/3 salary from 60%.

just say you're racist tbh it'd be quicker.

With the cost of living almost impossible today, and NH being one of the highest costs of living states, we need to provide more for our workers. I know the Free Stater's are trying to make our state rid of all but the independently wealthy, but we normal ppl are all still here and we count and we deserve to survive.

NH needs to continue to be better for our residents. This bill will allow for that to be possible.

Autumn DelaCroixSupportKeene, NHfor MyselfFeb 4, 2025

Workers comp is good. No notes!

You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Opposed. Strongly.

In a time where there will be fewer health and safety regulations on the job than ever before, or at least since this country started having health and safety regulations, we’re going to need workers comp to cover more than it has. You can’t expect people to work dangerous jobs if they’re going to end up homeless if they get injured on the job. That’s unreasonable and people have realized the system doesn’t help them even when they do everything they are supposed to do, people aren’t going to be doing this anymore. It’s not worth the risk if they’re going to lose everything because of an injury they sustain making money for someone else. This is bare minimum, this is not too much to ask.

Penny EgglestonSupportAmherst, NHfor MyselfFeb 4, 2025

The gap between the rich and poor in this country has reached a disgraceful and unsustainable level. Do something about it!! You could be one of these people who work but don't make enough money in your next life!!
