Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. We begin tonight with a summary of today's news. |
| Auto Registration Return to index of stories... |
The next time you register your car - you may end up paying more. The House has approved a plan to increase registration fees for cars, trucks and other vehicles by six dollars. The bill still has to go through the House Ways and Means Committee before it goes to the Senate. Sponsors say it will raise six million dollars more a year for the Safety Department. The last time fees were increased was in 1989. |

Should high school athletes be held to a code of conduct? Parents and school officials in Nashua are debating a new conduct code for student athletes, and one of the questions is whether there should be a code at all. Last fall, 14 students were suspended from teams because they attended a party where alcohol was present. Now, administrators are considering a new policy. One parent said she doesn't believe athletes should be held to a higher standard than classmates who don't play sports. |

State highway engineers say there isn't a lot of room to shift a proposed airport access road away from nesting bald eagles in Bedford. The newly discovered nest is about 500 yards from a proposed bridge. According to the project's top engineer, builders can shift the road only 50 to 100 feet away from the nest before bumping into a nearby brook, which would cause other environmental problems. The state will hold a hearing on any further concerns, but the project engineer says - the environmental impact report that's about to be released already addresses the basic issue of eagle habitat. |

If you drive a lot, you've probably noticed there seem to be a lot of frost heaves on the roadways this year. The reason - warm days and cold nights. Aside from temporary repairs, road crews say the problem will go away when the day's highs and lows become less extreme. For a look at our weekend forecast. Katie Hess checks in from the Mt. Washington Observatory. OUT: |

| Income Tax Return to index of stories... |
The plan combines an income tax with a lower statewide property tax. It would impose a 3.3% tax on personal income but contains exemptions of $11,000 per taxpayer plus $3000 per dependent. Single parents would get an additional $3000 exemption. A family of four earning $28,000 or less would pay no tax. The statewide property tax would be cut from $6.60 to $4.75 per $1000 of value. Homeowners are exempt up to $250,000 in value. Renters would receive a further income tax credit. Two of the plan's sponsors joined me in studio earlier this evening. |

OnCam:Ally There was debate this week on whether adoption records be open. An overflow crowd of birth parents and adult adoptees testified before the Child and Family Law committee on Wednesday. House Bill 449 would give18 year old adoptees the right to access their original birth documents. It would eliminate the expensive and complicated legal process of a court ordered search or case. |
