Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. We begin tonight with a summary of today's news. |
| Gambling Bills Return to index of stories... |
The Senate is now one step closer to voting on an education funding bill which would allow the state to install video gambling machines in, or next to, state liquor stores. The Senate Ways and Means Committee met today and will vote later this week whether to recommend the bill to the Senate. The bill would be up against the new Senate Republican proposal which would double the business enterprise tax. That proposal faces still opposition from business groups who believe gambling is a better way to fund education. |
| Fishing Conference Return to index of stories... |
Preserving and enhancing the commercial fishing industry was the topic of discussion when a national oceanic panel met in New Hampshire today.

| grave marker Return to index of stories... |
About 18 months ago, Ray Brunelle found a bronze grave marker in Manchester for a fellow Vietnam veteran. He also found a mission. Brunelle found the marker, which bears the name Kenneth W. Orton Junior, in an abandoned warehouse. But he couldn't find its home, or anyone who knew where it belongs. That's when Brunelle and four friends, all members of the Nam Knights, a national motorcycle club of Vietnam veterans, made it their mission to find a proper resting place for the marker. On Saturday, Orton's marker finally found a home. Brunelle and his friends placed the marker at the Wall That Heals, a traveling replica of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington. The replica has been in Portsmouth this month. |
