The New Hampshire Democratic Party has filed a federal lawsuit against the New Hampshire House of Representatives as well as the state of New Hampshire alleging that the Republican state House leader’s refusal to hold hearings online put the lives of legislators at risk.
The lawsuit, filed on June 15, cites the recent deaths of former House Minority Speaker Robert “Renny” Cushing and State Rep. Katherine Rogers, both Democrats, with strong implications that in-person hearings held by the House were to blame for their deaths.
