NH Weighs Eliminating Vehicle Inspections. The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed legislation to eliminate annual vehicle safety inspections. The bill is now in the Senate awaiting a vote. NH and MA are part of only 14 states that require a safety inspection every year. Do you think a requirement is necessary? Could MA move to eliminate annual safety inspections as well? NH Deputy Speaker of the House, Rep. Steven Smith says there’s no real evidence that inspections are making the roads safer. Rep. Smith joins us this evening to discuss.
*The NH Automobile Dealers Association (against this movement) has been invited to join in tonight’s conversation but has not committed at this time*

Which restaurant chain is your favorite, and which would you like to see make a comeback in New England? Sherif Mityas, a restaurant industry expert and the CEO of Brix Holdings, a multi-brand franchising company that owns Friendly’s among other chains, joins us to discuss!
