NH’s Treasurer told the State’s debt consultant to assume General Fund revenue “unchanged in each of fiscal years 2027 through 2032.”

I asked the president about his job approval number. "It's fake," he quickly said. "It's fake." He pointed to the New York Times -- "The job approval, they said it's 37, 38?" he asked incredulously. "I'm not at 38." I asked where he thought his approval rating actually stands. "I don't believe I could be beaten by anybody," he said. "I think that if I needed it, which I don't, I think 60."

For 28 years, 69-year-old Rick Taylor has gathered tickets from Cal Ripken Jr.’s 2,632-game streak spanning 1982–1998.

Taylor never anticipated reaching single digits, yet he feels confident about finishing.
