House Speaker Thanks UNH for June 11 Session

The House will meet in session on Tuesday, June 30th at 10:00 a.m. at the Whittemore Center at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.

Thank you to all of the members for helping to ensure we had our first successful session away from the State House in over 150 years. We greatly appreciate your patience today as we worked through the complex logistics of making this session safe for everyone who attended.

Thank you to UNH for being so welcoming and gracious. The staff at UNH put in many hours of hard work to accommodate us and we very much appreciate their efforts. Also, a very special thank you to UNH President James Dean for all of his work in making this session possible. I also wish to thank the governor for his emergency order allowing actual mileage be paid to the members for travelling to Durham.

This session would not have been possible without our extraordinary House staff, who put in many, many hours seeing to every detail. I know you all join me in thanking them for their tremendous efforts.

Again, we will reconvene the House at the Whittemore Center on Tuesday, June 30th at 10:00 a.m. It is important for us to come back and finish the work we can take up. This will be our last House session of the year except when we come back in the fall to take up the Governor’s vetoes.

I want to thank you all for your devotion to the State of New Hampshire during this session and moving forward.

Stephen J. Shurtleff, Speaker of the House
