A new survey finds most New Hampshire residents believe state funding of higher education should be increased. The poll conducted by the UNH Survey Center on behalf of business, charitable and University organizations found that nearly half of those polled would pay higher taxes to support the state's institutions. The broadbased support of education crossed political boundaries as most said that education was not only personally important to them, it was also important to the state's businesses and economy. The state currently accounts for 27-percent of the USNH operating budget. |

Now, that deal is off - and the developer says he plans to sue the state for the way it handled the case. |
