A lawsuit filed by top Democratic lawmakers disputing federal COVID-19 relief spending has been dismissed, reports nhpr.
In a 16-page paper, Superior Court Judge David A. Anderson sided with New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and dismissed the lawsuit brought against him. Anderson stated, “stopping or delaying the governor from distributing funds in the midst of a global pandemic would be contrary to public interest.”
Sununu stated in a press release that it is “paramount that we get relief out to New Hampshire families fast, and that is what I am determined to do.” House Democrats argued that the Republican Sununu was cutting legislature out of the decision of how to spend the $1.25 billion disaster relief funds.
Democrats are currently the majority control of the Legislature.
