Infrastructure and Jobs Act, signed into law in November 2021, brought $1.2 billion into New Hampshire for road and bridge repair, expanded broadband, clean drinking water, protection from wildfires and cyberattacks, public transportation and airport improvement, charging stations, […]
What is the Bill of Rights? It is the first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution. These amendments guarantee us freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, freedom of religion, and much more.
