    NH News Recap for Sept. 27, 2024: Latest in the battle over the state's school funding model

    The legal fight over how the state funds its schools continues as the New Hampshire Supreme Court takes up two separate lawsuits.

Republican and Democratic lawmakers are also weighing in. And with the cost of buying or renting a home in New Hampshire more expensive than ever, affordable housing is a top issue in the state political races this year — especially in the race for governor.
