A bill that would have provided state-funded scholarships to families who send their children to private schools and who homeschool has died in the New Hampshire Legislature.
The measure, Senate Bill 193, passed the state Senate in 2017 but lost Thursday on what appears to be a final procedural vote in the state House of Representatives, 173-168, on a motion that would have sent the measure to a conference committee between the two chambers, according to The Union Leader.
In August 2014 the city of Fall River started requiring residents to put their trash in purple bags that they had to buy in order to get the city to pick up their trash.
The contractor who pitched the idea to city officials said it would bring in significant revenue to the city and reduce waste by half, according to the Fall River Herald News.
