Michael Filler | Oppose HCR11

Undermines Separation of Powers: Both HCR 11 and HR 7 attack the principle of separation of powers between the judicial, executive, and legislative branches. The courts play a role in ensuring that the state's education system meets our constitutional requirements. Threatens Educational Equity: By undermining judicial oversight these resolutions open the door for future reductions in quality education and access for New Hampshire students. Sets Dangerous Precedents: The passage of these bills would set a dangerous precedent, further emboldening the legislature to ignore judicial rulings.
