The Attitude with Arnie Arnesen won the award for Public Affairs/Talk at the NH Association of Broadcasters Granite Mike Awards. We’re thankful for all of the great guests we’ve had on the show in the last year, and we’ve chosen to rebroadcast our winning entry, and another we submitted. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Part One: Money Laundering…government style. NH’s liquor stores are controlled by the state. This is a story of money laundering, cash transactions conducted blatantly in front of surveillance cameras, “structuring,” the IRS – and how Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky is under attack by the Governor, the GOP, and the Liquor Commission for reporting what he found.

Part Two: Daisy Young is a junior at ConVal High School in Peterborough, NH. She organized a walk out at her school in honor of the students at Parkland, and the Concord March for Our Lives event, she read a poem, “Too Young” on the steps of the NH State House. Daisy talks to us, and reads her poem.
Zandra Rice Hawkins is the Executive Director of Granite State Progress, a progressive advocacy organization. She joins us in the studio, with GSP intern, Jennifer White, also a student at ConVal, to talk about the status of gun legislation in NH, and what’s going on in Vermont.
