Are attitudes about political participation different between Cianorte and Portsmouth?
Yes, on many levels. Political participation in some parts of New Hampshire began in the 1600s and is something that New Hampshire residents have taken for granted for quite a while. In contrast, Cianorte was celebrating its 50th anniversary during my visit. There are differences in who’s responsible for what, who’s used to being able to participate, and who’s just starting to be involved.
