Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. We begin tonight with a summary of state news. |
| Power Struggle Return to index of stories... |
The New Hampshire Supreme Court heard arguments today that New Hampshire's electric deregulation plan would force unfair costs on consumers. A lawyer for Public Service Company of New Hampshire says efforts to block the plan are costing customers hundreds of thousands of dollars a day in savings. Under the plan, most homeowners would save about 13 dollars off a typical monthly electric bill. |
| SUPCO/King Plan Return to index of stories... |
The New Hampshire Supreme Court has rejected a Republican backed plan to change how the state distributes school aid. Today, in a unanimous decision, the court said a plan - developed by retiring Colebrook Senator Fred King - would be unconstitutional because it would shift the state's responsibility to fund an adequate education to communities. The court reiterated that all state school aid must be spent on education and that it is the Legislature's job to decide what constitutes an adequate education. |
| Parole Granted Return to index of stories... |
A Jackson woman won realease today after serving nearly 16 years for killing her husband. 64-old Anne Marie Reynolds described years of emotional, physical and sexual abuse she endured before shooting her husband in 1985. The parole board also heard from prison supervisors who praised Reynold's efforts to better herself. Elvington Reynold's sister said she was outraged that her brother's killer would be released. Reynolds, a Canadian citizen, will be deported within a few days. Anne Marie Reynolds has agreed to talk with Outlook. We'll have that interview December 19th. |

| Reynolds parole Return to index of stories... |
avbfls -- A Jackson woman imprisoned since killing her husband nearly 16 years ago could win release today. Sixty-three-year-old Anne Marie Reynolds was sentenced to at least 18 years in prison for the 1985 shooting. Just over two years of the sentence have been suspended, leaving her eligible for parole this year. She faces a parole hearing today. Her lawyer has argued Reynolds shot Elvington Reynolds because he had subjected her to years of emotional, physical and sexual abuse. The lawyer says Reynolds' case is remarkable not only for the abuse she suffered, but for the state's refusal to release her earlier even though several women in similar cases have won pardons in recent years. |
| Number SHortage Return to index of stories... |
hrwwdcfls -- A top New Hampshire regulator says forcing telephone users to dial ten numbers to reach someone in the same area code would be too much of a burden to customers and businesses. Nancy Brockway, member of the state Public Utilities Commission, says such an idea would force businesses to reprogram their equipment and reprint stationery and other material. Six states already have some form of ten-digit dialing because the nation's supply of phone numbers is dwindling rapidly. But Brockway says states should focus first on making better use of existing numbers. In New Hampshire, the switch from allocating blocks of ten-thousand numbers to one-thousand will allow the state to stick indefinitely with its existing area code. |
| Tax Commission Return to index of stories... |
Governor Jeanne Shaheen's Blue Ribbon Commission held another meeting today to look at various tax options to pay for education.The commission's findings are due out later this month. Shaheen hopes the study will help the Legislature forge a permanent solution to the problem of paying for schools, something the previous two Legislatures have been unable to do. |
