Of note is the way Republicans are showing the true reason for their use of the phrase “local control”; that being to deny state financial support for New Hampshire communities, especially schools.

Really?
The hypocrisy is appalling. Fess up, Republicans! You only espouse “local control” when you want to reduce state taxes (mostly for corporations) at the expense of education and other public services.
