    Are you registered to vote? with (Supervisor of the Checklist) Vicky Nawoichyk

    Vicky and Liz implore you: PLEASE EXERCISE (your right to vote).  Vicky shares with Liz what a supervisor of the checklist is, what checklist she is the supervisor of, how to register to vote, how the town clerk does not go BEEP BOOP BEEP to register someone, and how an individual might be removed from the voter rolls.  Remember: you are eligible to vote in New Hampshire if (1) you are a US citizen, (2) you will be 18 years or older on or before Election Day, and (3) New Hampshire is your home. You can register on Election Day - or before!  What to bring to register to vote: You need to prove four things: 1. identity; 2. age; 3. domicile (where you lay your head at night); 4. citizenship. A current New Hampshire driver's license covers the first three, as long as the address is correct. It does NOT cover citizenship. For proof of citizenship: You can bring a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers with you - OR you can sign a legal affidavit to attest your U.S. citizenship. More info in the links below. This episode pairs well with Voting UPDATE with McKenzie Taylor - Minisode from June 9, 2026. Want to support NH Has Issues podcast?

    State of NH v. …State of NH? (a school funding story) with Zack Sheehan

    Do children in New Hampshire have a constitutional right to a public education? The State of New Hampshire is currently asking its Supreme Court to say...nope.  In this episode, Liz talks with Zack Sheehan, executive director of the NH School Funding Fairness Project, about thirty years of school funding lawsuits (Claremont, ConVal, and Rand), the state's appeal asking the court to throw out the Claremont decisions entirely, and what all of it could mean for you and your community. Strong recommendation: make an apple crisp while you listen (need a recipe?).  Become a monthly supporter of NH Has Issues at patreon.com/nhhasissues This episode pairs well with...

    This Episode is Trash (and Recycling!) with Andrea Folsom

    If you throw a seltzer can into a blue recycling bin in New Hampshire...where does it go?  In this episode, Liz talks with Andrea Folsom, the executive director at NH Recycles, about all things recycling (and a little bit trash). Liz vaguely remembers needing to recycle things as a youngster that had a "1" or a "2" on them, but wonders if that was a dream.  *Batteries Included* Become a monthly supporter of NH Has Issues at Patreon (patreon.com/nhhasissues) Links: NH RecyclesSolid Waste Safety ToolkitBatteries ToolkitRecycling 101 PresentationNorth Country: Let's Recycle Right!2026 NH Solid Waste Legislative Session RecapFuture New Hampshire landfills could face stricter siting process under new law (NH Bulletin)"Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out," Shel SilversteinSupport the show Subscribe to NH Has Issues Substack Get your NH Has Issues merch!
