The town of #Hanover, N.H., has been in turmoil lately over how to call its school sports teams. Ever since 1951 they have competed as the #Marauders, but recently students and school officials have come to consider the name violent and offensive.

"The number of new legislative majorities this year is the lowest since at least 1944, when four chambers switched hands. If this year’s total stays at three, it will be the least amount of turnover since 1928, when just one chamber flipped..." @GOVERNING https://t.co/cS6apDVQ1E

It looked like college towns enjoyed recession-proof economies, but if the college is closed it turns out they're just another company town subject to big problems https://t.co/sZPuts8HbR
