and if you're wondering what to do next, boston fans, the bruins' season opener thursday night at columbus. josh: hockey already. all right. we asked the candidates for congress in what areas can congress be effective in improving the economy. here are the answers from the first district candidates. >> well, they could pass a minimum wage law. an increased minimum wage helps people and roll economies as well because people who don't have a lot money put it into the and we do know that 70% of our economy is consumer spending, so that would be a good start. we could work on their infrastructure and we could have an infrastructure bank to help finance that, that would be the important. and we also could make the cost of education more affordable, because education is the key to prosperity not just for an individual but for our country. then we need to also help american businesses compete. we feed to help them to export

and i also think we need to change our tax code. the tax code is not fair, it gives a break to the very wealthiest, and really crushes the middle class. so there's a lot of work to be done there. >> the first thing we need to do is tackle the debt and the deficit. we have a $19 trillion debt. we have a $450 million deficit. those things -- you need public policy that is going to eliminate first that deficit and then tackle the debt. secondly, we need t and we need a more competitive global system where not competitive globally, we have a 35% tax rate, corporate tax rate. so essentially while a lot of our companies now are either inversions, purchasing or being acquired by another company and bringing those tax receipts out of the united states, or they're keeping their existing revenues in their businesses overseas. it has to change.

things immediately, you can see economic growth at the four to 5% level, which what is we need. the other component is regulation. this administration has focused a lot of its area of regulatory requirements, that takes money out of businesses and puts it into the federal government. that has to change. josh: as always you'll find the full series of candidate questions and answers on wmur.com. mike: as of the cool crisp start out there today with frost in many parts of the state, a nice little warmup into the 60's, getting is right to or slightly above the average. right now clear skies for the most part. a few high wispy clouds streaming in out there in dublin, but overall it's nice and quiet and that stretch continues for some time. yes, we need the rain and then some, but only one shot between now and the weekend, that will come with more clouds around for

good possibility of a couple of late day showers, but dry leading up to it. and dry to follow as we go into friday, and the upcoming weekend. as for the here and now, look at temperatures, they have come down several degrees just over the last hour, of course the sun is just about to set. so we under tupper 50's to lower 60's, where about an hour ago we were in the mid 60's. in the monadnock region mid to upper 50's in many spots. on average right around 60 give or take two or three degrees in valley. cool to mild in the lakes region and farther to the north a little cooler, mid to upper 50's in the white mountains. franconia notch with a little elevation, up there in the upper 40's at this time. but compared to this hour last evening, look at how much warmer it is. just barely at the coast, but move inland away from the ocean influence and it feels line 8 to 18 degrees warmer than it was at this hour last evening.

so we won't bottom out below freezing in the great north woods, mid to upper 30's for many from the lakes region points south and nice warmup again tomorrow with with a lot. sun. you'll notice crystal clear skies over new england do give way to patchy clouds during the overnight stretch, so we could see a few of those around tomorrow morning, but after mid morning right back into full sunshine in many parts of new hampshire. so a look at sky cast over the queen city for later on tonight into early tomorrow morning, some low clouds will try to build on in. but o mostly sunny start and on the chilly side, a lower to mid 40's downtown manchester. but just outside of the city in the mid to upper 30's. a fair amount of sun, a few scattered clouds out there for your wednesday, and temperatures notice climbing nicely into the mid to upper 60's. similar temperatures on thursday, but we will start to see more clouds around and we could see a little drizzle during the morning and a couple of scattered showers during the afternoon.
