New Hampshire Governor John Lynch (D-Hopkinton) will sign the "Granny D" bill on Friday.
The bill creates a commission to study the feasibility of publicly funding state campaigns and is named after Doris "Granny D" Haddock who traveled across the country in 1999 advocating for public financing of elections.
The signing ceremony will take place at the Executive Council Chamber at 1:00pm in the State House.

I hope that this kind of initiative is able to get bi-partisan support (see next news item about Warren Rudman, for example) that it deserves. Campaign finance reform has the potential to positively affect government more than any other issue today.
