Medical MarijuanaReturn to index of stories... |
Should the medical use of marijuana be legalized? That was the debate today at the State House during hearings into a bill that would allow doctors to prescribe marijuana for certain patients. The House Health and Human Services Committee heard from many supporters of the bill. Those speaking included a cancer patient currently using marijuana to fight pain and nausea. The committee also heard from a cancer specialist who described how marijuana eased the suffering of one of his patients. |

Storm AidReturn to index of stories... |
Hampton officials are hoping they'll get federal and state to help cover the cost of clean-up after this week's storm. As this next storm arrives, town officials are still assessing flood damage from earlier this week- and as far as their snow removal budget - well that ran out last month.The state Emergency Management office says it's too early to tell if Hampton will qualify for any aid. |
Seabrook OutageReturn to index of stories... |
State emergency management officials admit they didn't react properly to an alert at the Seabrook nuclear plant during Monday's snowstorm. The alert was declared Monday when power lines that help run plant emergency systems went out. Although backup systems worked, and the emergency was the lowest level of alert. officials say they'll work to resolve communication issues. |

If you've been hoping to travel by train between Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts - here's some good news - Maine transportation officials say they'll compromise with rail executives to get the trains running by June. Both sides have clashed over how fast the trains should go. Promoters want the trains to travel at 79 miles an hour. Guilford Transportation Industries, which owns the track, says the trains should go no faster than 59 miles per hour to be safe. Maine officials now say they'll concede to a maximum speed of 59 miles an hour if Guilford can have service running within three months. The trains are scheduled to include stops in Portland and Wells , Dover, Durham and Exeter and Boston. |
